Also 2 years 30M vs 3 years 41M.
Look at it this way - what are the two biggest reasons *not* to trade GW, that is to say the only ones that call it into any question? 1) He's a great locker room presence and Luka's buddy. 2) We just signed him as a free agent and it's a bad look.
DoeDoe is one of Luka's *best* buddies, and with his comfortability with the Mavs locker room, likely as good of a presence (if not providing as much leadership) as Grant. Moreover, given how known it is that Luka wants DoeDoe back, and how clear the fit is, is anyone other than Grant himself going to question the optics of trading GW for DFS?
