Package 10 with THJ (or Bertans) + McGee
Get back 21 with Claxton + DFS
(Can be agreed to on draft day, but has to wait until July to be able to include DFS)
We've come full circle. When I proposed something less aggressive a few weeks back, you asked me why Brooklyn would do that. Obviously, I love this. I'm not sure THJ/10 gets all three of Claxton, DFS and 21. Maybe you get two of the three elements from Brooklyn. The pick value chart says 10 = the combo of 21 and 22. So, you are getting Claxton and DFS for THJ and 22 if you keep 21. Seems a tad strong on the Dallas side of this. Remove 21 and it is Claxton/DFS for THJ/10. Seems more fair to Brooklyn.
Since they already have Joe Harris, I wonder if they'd prioritize someone other than THJ. Maybe Reggie/McGee for Claxton/ONeal and the pick swap. The main thing obviously is moving off of the risk of Claxton walking and getting a shot at someone who can grow into something better than will be available at 21 or 22. The rest is just deck chairs.
