You can't do a 1 for 1 swap for them, and the Mavs have to send out more money any ways. It almost has to be Holmes if its just between the CHA+DAL to make sense.
So that's the case money wise. Value wise, again I think Green>>Washington. Washington isn't bad, but like many others have said here he's not even a top 4 guy on this bad CHA team. He puts up stats but you always have to be wary of guys who put up stats on bad teams.
I watched 5 CHA games to see how PJ performed. He's an okay player that disappears a lot and has defensive lapses that remind me of GWill/CWood. If his shot is falling he is lethal, but that's most guys. I don't think its worth to give up arguably our best defensive guard for PJ.
I know another contract is needed and my hope would be Charlotte eats Holmes deal. Although I am affraid Mavs would need to add to do that.
I am not really impressed by Washington, but neither I am impressed by Green. Taking big picture into account, it is just a move around the edges that will not erase the need for the third best player, but might make Mavs a little bit better this season. Washington can't be much worse on defense than GW and I think he can do much more offensively than the shitty GW version we see recently.
