I tend to agree. I will add though, I don't think Washington would want Hardaway. So it is then trying to find a third team. Then the discussion is what else does Washington want...if they want more. That is probably where a lot of the conversation is if Dallas really is interested. My offer wouldn't go past Hardaway to a third team and washington gettting our 27 first, expiring and that third party draft consideration.
Also, lets not fool ourselves that first round pick in 2027 is a great pick. Could it be? Sure. The one thing is limits us is our flexibility this summer. I am just not sure what level of player we are going to get with Hardaway, Holmes and three firsts. If that player is too good, the pick hoarding teams enter the picture. So while our 2027 pick is solid value, it is several years down the road. We aren't even offering expirinigs. So I think to even get a seat at the table we need to be offering 27 first plus whatever Hardaway can bring.
Then lets talk about the 20% Mavs tax. That is adding 20% to your trades because you know the Mavs always give up a little more than you expect.
