I wonder if fans in Charlotte are saying the same exact thing or are welcoming such a swap. Interesting how Green is the one teams want. Brooklyn, Atlanta and now Charlotte.
I'm not such an absolutist on Green to turn down all trades involving him. I like what you've put together above for the Mav's. I'm an Avdija fan and really like his upside. If you believe Green > PJ (or that Charlotte thinks so), their part of the deal is essentially Green/GWill for PJ/Richards. That seems reasonable if they covet Green.
Then you've got 2027/Hardy for Avdija and eating some salary. That doesn't seem crazy either (I wonder if they'd ask for OMax instead).
It would be hard to pull off a deal with four outgoing players in a week where we play B2B on Monday and Tuesday and play again on Thursday. Might just have to forfeit a game. But, I think this is well done...plus it would be cool to see a deal with two Poison Pill players. Dallas gets that TPE I've been talking about and it drags us a little bit further away from the first Apron next season (but not much when you include a minimum).
Second the nod for Smitty's proposal here, I would caveat one thing. In order to make this a little more palatable in losing both Green and Hardy, I would like to add Morris (or Curry) as salary outgoing to Washington while adding Franky Smokes coming back as insurance against Dante Exum and Kyrie not both finding their health and groove. Okay Exum insurance...
IF you could make it Curry going to Washington would that leave enough slack for Bitadze for a 2nd from Orlando and stay short of the Apron of Apocalypse?
