Green or Hardy would be gone, imo, probably to Charlotte. Might have to send a sweetener to Cleveland, too. It’s not enough for the ‘27, I don’t think. Doesn’t feel realistic, especially since I don’t think Dallas can do without THJ AND either Green or Hardy.
I thought it was an interesting thought exercise. If you are Cleveland, what do you need to be compensated for the spread between Allen and PJ? Some might argue PJ is the better fit in Cleveland. So, how much spread is there?
If you are Charlotte, what do you need to be compensated for the spread between THJ and PJ? It isn't just the player PJ here, it is also the circumstance. They have all sorts of PF's, they don't want to commit to him long term and they could use some outside shooting. With that in mind, is there that much of a spread between PJ and THJ?
I think we can jump on the idea that Allen is a ton better than THJ and presume it would cost us a ton. But, to the teams involved, the fits all make sense. I don't think it would take a player like Green or Hardy. It might take a pick, but I suspect so many picks would change hands that it would be difficult to figure out what the true cost was.
