Only Fantasy Traders in the Building (The Mitchell Case)

[cow]

First of all, those three players don't get it done in terms of a salary match.  So, it is a four for one deal and we have to go out into a depleted market to replace all those bodies.

Second, Westbrook is a culture-killer whose ego and inefficient game would crush any chance we have to compete in 22/23.

Third, there are no good FA's next summer.  So, why bother

-47,063,478 (RW) vs 46,662,398 (THJ, DP, DB) - the major trade machines say this is legal.  Maybe they are wrong?
-You aren't trading for RW the player, you are trading for his contract.  It is possible, if not likely, you'd send him home.  Further, Dinwiddie and Bertans had a labels as a bad teammates in Washington and have been model citizens here.  It's always best to judge on first hand experience. 
-One could easily say the Mavs don't have the assets or know how to make trades, so why bother?  The Mavs are also terrible at drafting, so why bother?  "Why bother?" is a ridiculous argument.  Wiggins, LeBron, Middleton, Grant, Turner, LeVert, PatBev, Brooks, Crowder, Kleber, Seth, Nunn.  Those are some of the RFAs/UFAs for 2023 that run the gamut of salary ranges.
