Surely some other team has more of these type pieces who are better than Reggie, Maxi and McGee. It doesn’t feel to me like Dallas can get something like that done without at least some draft compensation or one of our youngsters (not necessarily #10…could be the pick(s) we have left after a trade down).
Financially speaking, THJ would be a desirable piece for Phoenix for his declining contract. For example, THJ+McGee is a trade match now and the savings would grow to $8.5mm when the next season starts. That would give Phoenix a lot more flexibility in filling out the roster while staying under the 2nd apron.
