I would.
I think Johnson/Green/Terry are all inconsequential to the team and have no impact on the rotation this year. Both Green and Terry look like they need multiple years and chances to be something. They'd be replaced by 2 high impact guys in Gordon/Fournier. DFS is obviously the hardest piece to let go but if the idea is that Gordon is going to replace him, then theoretically we'd improve right?
Losing Powell as a locker room guy would hurt as well, but being a good guy unfortunately doesn't translate to wins. Burke is there just to salary match and give ORL a PG. He's barely getting minutes right now anyways, and I think Carlisle can find production from any number of vet min guards to spot fill 5mpg.
Mavs also free up some roster spots for buyout guys doing this, and Fournier also makes THJ/JRich expendable in other trades. I wonder if we could use Aminu and flip him to CLE for Drummond in this scenario? I think we'd be hardcapped by salaries though.
