I'm all for Hardy moving into Hardaway's role and getting those looks moving forward and all for Green moving into a full time starter role alongside Kyrie and Luka but I would like to hold onto Bullock simply to play those minutes behind Green. If there is a way to use all those assets to get a new starting frontcourt AND a backup wing then I have no problem parting ways with Bullock.
If we assume that trade goes through it would be difficult to stay under the luxuy tax apron of 169.0 to keep the full MLE and BAE.
It would certainly be possible, if Kyrie is working with the Mavs to sign a reasonable starting salary.
Doncic 40
Irving 40
Ayton 33
Barnes 12 MLE (doubt it, but let´s assume that for a second)
Kleber 11
Bertans 5.4 s/w
Green 4.8
Mo. Wagner 4.4 BAE
Hendricks 4.0
Hardy 1.8
156.4
Fill rest with Powell, Morris, Lawson, Pinson, Ntilikina and some 2nd round talent.
Doncic/Hardy/Pinson
Irving/Lawson/Ntilikina
Green/Hendricks/2nd round pick
Barnes/Kleber/Morris
Ayton/Wagner/Powell
I think that would be as good as it gets for this off-season and positionally very flexible.
