ROSTER TALK: Mavs favs for Vogel if no HC job exists. Kyrie handshake deal?

Agreed. But even with Burks, the rest of it gets very iffy very quickly, at least as far as I can see. There are too many limits or rules that don't easily fit together.

If you get away from the Sexton angle, with the apron issue, I find it interesting that the following all fits together neatly:
*THJ to DET, with Burks coming back to Dallas ... that leaves DET about 700K under the cap.
*Then the surplus of THJ's trade-match value lets DAL accept Rose from NY, without NY having to take any salary back. Is NY working on a deal where they need something like that as part of making an offer get accepted? In addition, even without a different deal, all of that still works if everyone thinks they are better off to do it (for example, if NY wants to move on from Rose, so that Thib's reins are handed to Brunson and Quickley). BUT - if there was a potential trade where NY might need the extra outgoing salary of Rose, the teams could wait until it was resolved one way or the other.

I can see it happening, and imo it would certainly qualify as the very kind of "big deal coming" deal we've been hoping is ahead.

I'm not terribly excited about a Burks/Kemba return for THJ, but a Burks/Rose return is more interesting.  That would have made sense as an S&T for Brunson before Detroit took on all of those contracts.  You get a decent 3rd playmaker and a 3&D wing to take some of the pressure off Dorian/Bullock.
