They could likely still sign Herzonja. You're forgetting that they land Conley. Toss in a 2nd on that as well.
A more likely deal imo would be Moe and Meyers for Matthews. Dealing those two without taking salary back just seems like a fantasy.
I think Dallas would want Meyers for free.. Apparently they like him. I think they'd want Harkless for free too, as they have 0 depth at SF and could use a young player there, especially one with previous success in his career. Vonleh is the best piece, as Dirk will retire and then their best and only PF will be Dwight Powell.
Hell no. Barnes is trash. Super inconsistent and is basically Batum with better scoring and a worse all-around game. Wes is solid but not great and is overpaid and declining. No way we should give up Collins for that package.
Barnes is trash? Lol ok I think he has proven himself to be a really good #3 option on a playoff team. Plus he is young, AND we get out of Meyers+Moe+Turner.
It isn’t free though. It’s $40m for two projects (or about $20m if they’re lucky and able to dump their contracts when they become expiring.) Why would they commit that type of money when there are cheaper options on the free agent market? Those are “free” too.
1,) They don't have much ability to sign FAs since they're trash. 2.) There aren't many decent young players on the FA market.
1. They have maybe the best owner in basketball and a good coach. 2. There are players better and cheaper than both Moe and Meyers. But lets say for arguments sake what you said was true; How is paying Meyers Leonard and Moe Harkless a combined $20m-$40m a better idea?
A rebuilding team could actually take Meyers and Harkless if we offered them additional pick or something, and could send us decent assets in return because they would both help them lose more games. As I said though, another asset would need to be involved to make it worthwhile for them. I've not seen rumors connecting Dallas with Meyers though.
He's average. Average efficiency, super inconsistent, doesn't defend well, doesn't create shots for others... He's not a good player. Not worth giving up Collins for even with giving up those 3.
