Ty Jerome.

DAL is projecting to be over 2nd apron, dont have any MLE to offer for Ty Jerome.

If that is the case, the best shot is just draft someone, what kind of picks beside first one do they have?

Also, they could try signing TJ Shorts, he is star Paris PG, who is Free agent and is looking to hit NBA market. He would be cheap.

Jrue for Klay/Martin and whatever other filler Dallas needs to avoid a hard cap at 1st apron for taking back extra salary. Martin rerouted to SAC or some other team with MLE/TPE. Dallas and Boston send seconds to dump the rest of the filler too so Boston just takes back Klay.

Holiday + #28 for Klay + Martin + Hardy is about the only way that I agree to take on Holiday's huge contract.

We'll see. if push comes to shove and BOS can't do any better they probably have to do that. But you're discounting that The first two years of Jrue's contract are basically entirely offset by the trio you have coming back in Klay/Martin/Hardy. They make $65.7M compared to I think like $68 for Jrue. Gotta factor in the roster spots too so it's definitely extra money, but small amount. And Jrue is still really, really good. Him making $32.4M this year is hardly a concern at all. The problem with his trade value is that third year because it's just hard not to project decline. Those players DAL sends back are 7th or 8th men at best.

So that's really the value proposition here for DAL. Do you take on that third year of Jrue's contract to upgrade your roster now? Personally, if I were DAL, I'd jump at it. You get a great fit now and then by the time that 3rd year kicks in you'll have picks to trade and you use Jrue as salary filler in a deal for Flagg's younger running mate after a couple runs with AD/Kyrie/Jrue supporting him.

The trade value of 1 overpaid player with large contract vs the trade values of 3 overpaid players with smaller contracts is different. This is only the first step that BOS should do, they should then continue to explore ways to dump those new acquired players.
