An unprotected first got us Kyrie 'freaking' Irving, so I think unprotected firsts are precious. But, we gave away a pick swap (in the heart of Wemby's prime) for GWill. So, maybe the idea is we just want to be able to draft from somewhere. Hardy at 37 means we can find contribution in the early 2nd.
I tend to look at the pick arsenal of teams I'm fantasy trading with. The issue with Charlotte is they don't have a first and only have Boston's second this season. Milwaukee has Portland's unprotected 2nd (so a really good second). Seems like there might be a way of working one of those picks into this if we are sending out our 2027.
So to put pen to paper.
Mavs: PJW, Portis, ‘24 SRP (POR) from MIL
Hornets: Holmes, Connaughton, ‘27 FRP (DAL)
Bucks: Gwill, Hardy, (Save $7M)
I noticed that this saves the Bucks a ton of money. Gets them below the Second Apron and a significantly less tax bill.
Would you pull the trigger?
Edit: Maybe you can get away with sending Curry instead of Hardy and no SRP coming back to Mavs. Still gets them below the Apron.
