I know teams were paying for creation of TP before, but this was in cases where player chose to walk to a cap space team. In this case, I think they would consider they are the ones doing Mavs a favor, since Mavs can't sign their guy without their cooperation.
Williams and PJ are both good ideas. Although Williams in this case wouldn't get 20 mil with Dallas, as the TPE would be lower.
I think it depends on the leverage Williams can generate. It doesn’t have to be Dallas with the cap room. A credible threat for him to go to a third team with no compensation might motivate Boston to deal for the TPE.
I probably wasn’t clear, but I stated that the Williams offer from Dallas would be $16mm. The $20mm mention is based on published reports that he wants $20mm from Boston. He turned down 4/$50mm earlier.
