Let´s hope so.
THJ + McGee + Wood for Washington + Oubre + Mykhailiuk.
Doncic/Hardy/Exum
Irving/Curry/Mykhailiuk
Green/Thybulle/Oubre
Washington/Kleber/Omax
Holmes/Lively/Powell
Mix&match offense/defense, whatever you need.
A+ off-season, though Thybulle will probably be an overpay.Maybe you add a Josh Green teaching fee and then it becomes worth it.

If Thybulle got the full MLE, we have a slight issue of about $300k according to Spotrac once we have a 14 man roster in place. So, something would have to give.
The PJ cap hold is $17.4mm and they need to operate under the cap to avoid BYC (they currently have $18mm in space). Sending THJ at $17.9 for PJ starting at $17.4 fixes our $300k issue with a dollar or two to spare. It fixes the BYC issue on PJ and it meets the $18mm/year annual salary Stein now says PJ is seeking.
One issue, Charlotte would no longer have access to the full MLE as they would be operating under the cap. Do we see any free agents better than THJ who are going to Charlotte this summer for $12.4mm?
I think there is a chance Dallas&Charlotte have already agreed on the Washington/THJ core deal (if it exists) and are now discussing side dishes like McGee, Wood, Holmes, Oubre, Mykhailiuk, maybe Hayward.
