Stein's been reporting the Mavs have a plan for McGee not being on the roster so that's at least one of the picks gone unless they are planning to use the SW. I guess it comes down to how much they like Thybulle and who will blink first between Portland and us. The "good" news no other team is blowing our offer out of the water which means no one trusts the small sample size of his shooting improving in Portland.
I don't want to pay more in picks, because I think that's asking me to tip POR for doing what they were going to do anyhow (let MT leave at that number), so I would just do the offer sheet and see what happens.
Interestingly, a McGee-Holmes (without TK) combo would be a match that CHA could accept cap-wise as a match for PJW, and they would get 2 bigger players who aren't on long-term deals. That's probably a better use of a pick, and maybe 2. The alternative would be THJ making about the same salary as that pair.
