Why does HOU send additional draft compensation? Because the Mavs are footing the bill on KPJ AND giving up the best player in the trade.I think this goes the other way as far as realistic and fair value. THJ for Eason and KPJ is pretty much fair value. We float KPJ for a year then send him away for $1M. Don't allow him near the team all year (might be easy if he stays in legal problems all year). Have our SF/PF rotation set for the foreseeable future. Use Holmes and Maxi for the Cap trade and finish up with...
Luka/Exum
Kyrie/Hardy/Curry
Green/Eason/OMax
GWill/DJJ/Morris
Capela/Lively/Powell
Roll with that group til the young guys are all ready to go and in a couple years when Kyrie is on his last year, trade him to make room for Green to be the SG next to Luka and Eason or OMax to win the SF starting spot with Lively coming online and starting as well.
