I’d give up Hardy and Holmes plus a second or something like that (in other words, I’d give up a 2nd), but only if it didn’t impact our ability to use the exceptions next year. And folks who’d include Omax in a deal for PJ are certifiable. Omax is tradable, but would have to bring back someone much more reliable than PJ.
I wouldn´t give up Hardy either. Just because somebody here wants a distressed asset doesn´t mean they want to pay over the odds. Maybe you flip Kleber + Curry for Fournier + two 2nd round picks. Then flip THJ for WCJ + Houstan. Finally you combine Holmes + Houstan + four 2nd round picks for Washington.
You end up with
Doncic/Exum/Hardy
Irving/Green
DJJ/Fournier
Washington/Williams/Omax
Lively/WCJ/Powell
Added two players U26, improved the cap structure with the Fournier expiring and the modest contracts of Washington/WCJ at a total cost of two 2nd round picks.
I think all these deals are reasonable. That´s the benefit of buying low.
