I think our offer would have to be way more substantial. Maxi almost didn't play and has a long injury history, while he has two more years on his deal after this season. It was also a long time ago since good Maxi was seen. I don't think you can make an argument he is a positive contract. Holmes was a negative contract when Mavs traded for him and he remains such. Maxi and Holmes are basically a 20 mil burden for Toronto for next season. THJ has a good season and could be seen as neutral value or perhaps even positive contract. But not to an extent to offset the negative value of the other two deals. Toronto would still be giving up by far the best player in the deal.
Toronto might have shown interest in Green in the past, but his on court performance doesn't really make his signed deal look like a great bargain. Even if Toronto thinks they can get more out of him, the valuation would be done based on current performances.
That is why I think a FRP would need to be included. Personally, I don't have a problem with it, as long as Siakam resigns in the summer. If he doesn't, it would be just a failed move by Mavs, no matter what assets or contracts are included. Unless they win it all this season, of course.
