In this supposed trade details, it doesn't work as the Warriors need to cut around 12 mil. Almost exactly Holmes's contract. Rerouting Holmes to UTA solves that issue and makes sense. But why would UTA want Looney, Holmes, AND Kleber? Especially with Lauri and Kessler. They also have Taylor Hendricks and Simone Fontecchio as big 6'8-6'9 guys.
If Looney goes to Dallas then the deals still works and realistically makes sense depth chart wise.
But I refuse to believe the Mavs can turn Holmes, Kleber, Jaden Hardy, and a 2028 MIA 2nd into Wiggins, Looney, and a 2025 1st (which unlocks the Mavs to use 3 picks this TDL for a star).
