I will not go into the moral part of it, it has been discuss ad nauseam here. I will just assume Mavs are interested in him.
I think the trade is constructed well for the Orlando part, if they like THJ. There could be other guard alternatives available for them and no idea which they would prefer - Brogdon, Bogi (Atlanta), Fournier, Clarkson are just some of the examples. Also I didn't really see any signals how much 2024 cap space is important for them. They lose most of it doing this trade.
I think Charlotte is receiving huge overpay for PJ and Bridges. There is no realistic way Mavs could resign him in the summer. Bridges and Washington also basically overlap on the position. Its likely one of them would not be happy with the trade and role.
I would like the trade if the 2024 pick is coming to Mavs instead of Charlotte. Lightly protected 2027 is likely worth more than Orlando 2024 pick, which might be outside of lottery. We could also make it lottery protected instead of just top5 protected. I could get behind such a trade despite Mavs losing the ability to trade three picks in the summer.
