1 I think there are many here who think that's not enough.
2 If that's all it takes, you only have to clear about 10M in room or so, not 40M, so you shouldn't have to do all that (in particular, give up 27 FRP).
The rest of my post goes into my reasoning for everything and one the Mavs would have to plan for in any Bridges trade. Im not the one interested in Bridges. The Mavs are and I think they will go through the same process on how to resign him.
The Hornets are taking on a lot of salary and PHX can offer a decent package for Bridges so you have to pay to play. Giving up the FRP is painful but a Nico special this offseason was getting back second rounders in the process.
The move to clear space to resign Bridges is trading Holmes (expiring) at the draft/start of new year. That’s where the second round pick(s) come into play.
