Even if we only got Bog and Dedmon while sending out one rotation player (like Wright for instance), that would still be a pretty good deal for Dallas. https://tradenba.com/trades/tnpyLSE-bI basically thought, if we're gonna give Det the first trade to their fire sale, they would want young players instead of old (I'd be willing to give them JJ as well, or the GSW second depending on what their priority would be after getting all the young projects with upside). Giving them both of our PG's requires the need for 1 replacement (we don't need 2) esp since Bog can handle some of the ball handling/creating duties. While Rose is playing really well right now, it's a young for old swap.
Here's the issue (taking our Mav's colored glasses off for a moment). Does Sacramento really want non-shooters Bagley, Drummond and Holmes as their big rotation?
I try pretty hard to take off the Blue and Green colored glasses when I look at or propose trades, that's why I've said I look for the point when many Mavs fans are saying "that's too much to give up", that's about where I believe it's pretty close to the right amount. In this one, we are putting on the Blue and Green glasses by saying Drummond isn't gonna get the value Det wants. In the same way but on a different scale, I don't think Sac is going to get what they think Bog's value is in trade either. Neither team needs to trade either player if they don't get the value they believe the player has, so in that sense, I was playing along with the scenario you created while adding to it with my own thoughts.
