Spurs trade: Keldon Johnson*/#14
Spurs get: PJ Washington/#21

Jazz trade: Sexton/#21
Jazz get: Keldon Williams/Powell/#14

Mavs trade: Washington/Powell
Mavs get: Sexton

Now in my mind Washington has a touch more value than Sexton, and feel like the Spurs owe value to Dallas but unsure and since I root for Dallas I'd prefer to err not on the homer side....

Spurs upgrade their forward rotation and move off the last year of Keldon* while moving back 7 spots in the middle of the draft.

Jazz take on a bit of salary to move up in the draft to get a better prospect

Mavs get their stopgap PG/6th man. I'd try to see if he would extend as part of this.

* If Spurs think he is good value, replace him with Barnes which would only make Utah more happy, but I think this version is better for SA

this seems rough for mavs and too good for spurs. would split 21 into lesser picks (26 + 27 from BRK maybe) and split it up

Spurs shouldn’t get a pick back in this deal. PJ in my opinion is worth a lower level 1st rounder (not quite 14 though), but KJ’s contract as a guy I don’t really consider a surefire rotation caliber player for a contender would take some value to unload in my opinion.

Assuming no KD deal happens, I would definitely do OP's deal. PJ would be a great fit for SA at PF

The original deal is a yes from the Spurs I believe. But with PJ being an expiring, any scenario where the Spurs lose the pick or get a really bad one (as some propose) is a non starter, because Spurs can get a promising prospect on a cost controlled contract for 4 years, or trade it for (IMO) at least an unprotected pick in the future (given the pick and the class). I might be willing to throw in a 2nd rounder if necessary.

The Spurs can match with two of Wesley, Branham or Champagnie, which they might want to do anyway to save their bigger contracts for a later trade (say the MPJ deal someone mentioned previously). I'd argue Dallas would find those guys useful, and Utah would find them much less onerous if the Jazz were still in the deal.

Pretty solid overall. Feels a tiny bit too good for the Jazz. I'd have them send a 2nd to DAL.

I'm surprised people think it's too good for SAS. I think it's good, but not too good. They don't necessarily need to get off KJ salary, so while helpful, it's not compelling. And PJ is expiring. So seems fair, not like SAS is getting too much.

Yea dreadful for Dallas. SA gives up the worst player in the deal and gets the best for a 7 spot move. Sexton is not a winning basketball player and a putrid fit with Kyrie

Wesley and Branham yes, good call, but Champagnie is a definite no. No interest if Champagnie is going out.

Looks like this would have to be done prior to 30 June, and ideally before the draft; it doesn't work with next year's figures without Dallas adding another small contract. I'd do the version with Barnes for Utah.

7 spot move is not nothing, but yes I also think maybe something else could be tweaked. Maybe Wesley + Branham (22 year olds entering their last rookie deal year) could make for a better salary match, as Chinook suggested, it'd be less money, for less years, and the Jazz might even prefer the flyer on two young guys who have shown some flashes, where for the Spurs it's time to pivot, we can't keep alloting significant playing time for development purposes.

Yeah, once Utah doesn’t have to pay Keldon - they probably chip in the value Dallas is owed in OP imo.

And/or agree to let Dallas get their choice of the Spurs guards and take on Hardy’s deal. Opens a bit more breathing space for Dallas and one of those two has to be better than Hardy.

I like OP. But think it’s closer with Dallas sending their distant seconds to SAS and getting 21.

SAS is getting PJ for 14, which some probably feel is an overpay due to PJ being an expiring.. but then they also get to dump Keldon which shouldn’t be free imo.

some smart tweaks here. Appreciate everyone working to fix my value issues. And giving feedback on salary San Antonio might prefer to use.

I feel like Utah can move PJ separately for better than a 21 to 14 swap and taking back negative salary. I don't think SA is the right team here.

Yes, this works too.
