ORL/ DAL - Defense for shooting

Orlando trades Isaac, M Wager, Harris
Dallas trades Klay, Maxi, Grimes

Orlando gets one of the best floor space in Klay while getting rid of Isaac's big contract. Maxi Kleber has been the best shooter and rim protector for the Mavs for a couple of years before the emergence of Lively. Grimes has shown flashes of talent as soon-to-be RFA.

Dallas finds a lengthy defender in Isaac to send PJ to bench while starting Marshall. Wagner is on radar for Mavs draft night in rookie season. Gary Harris is also on Mavs trade target list. This improve Mavs defense for the starting lineup and enhance a deeper bench.

OP is illegal/way too much incoming salary to dallas who is hard capped.

Thats 43M incoming and only 31M outgoing.

Dallas is a top 5 defense right now (granted, they had an embarrassing defensive showing against the Pacers), defense isn't really the problem...
Isaac is needed on teams with weak rim protecting centers, not really an issue for DAL, he's not the piece to chase.
I also doubt they'd trade Klay this quickly, they owe it to him to try to make it work (he's the highest on/off guy on the team and hasn't been a problem in any way) and if not, send him to a place he wants to be, if ORL was a destination he likes (and ORL wanted him), then Klay for KCP framework can be discussed.

Osaac doesnt have a "big contract". after this last year of his extension, he is at $15mil/yr or less. and Maxi is now just as much an injury risk that Isaac is. And where does Klay play? If we hadnt have signed KCP, i would look at it, but we did.

this just doesnt make sense
