Things are starting to role if the Kemba deal is done.

The more highlights I see of Brunson reminds me of Damon Stroudamire

basically we cant to 1:1 $ value swap, bc Brunson can only be exchanged for 50% of his new contract. Normally you can do a 1:1 swap but Brunson falls under a special rule because he is making too big of a raise off his rookie contract, so he can only be exchanged at a 0.5:1 ratio. so we can do a simple s& t for instance for a guy on our roster that makes less than 50% of brunsons new AAV. but no one we have would be worth doing that for *plus* we are under the cap, so we can sign Brunson outright-- we dont need Mavs to do us favors.
we need a third team or we need to take back roughly equal (AAV) salary if we want to give them Randle/Fournier
so something like
Mavs side sign and trade:
Randle 20m AAV
Brunson 25m AAV (which counts as 12.5mm AAV) == 32.5m AAV
====
(fill in 33m AAV from mavs)
do not forget that the Mavs are over the cap by a lot and cuban might not be interested in taking on any of our contracts.
Kudos to understanding that. My eyes glazed over in 2 minutes.

Negotiations. Dallas would like a sign and trade to create a TPE, and we need a reason to do it.

But we don't really need Dallas consent... Heck, we can swap SRP and Dallas agrees to drop tampering charges and we call it a day. Quick phone call.

We don’t need their consent, but we got 2 second round picks when we signed Evan Fournier in a sign and trade. We probably want the same from Dallas. If they don’t want to, they get no TPE.

Dallas is trying to get us to be stripped of a SRP, you think they are going to steal it from us and then pay us one of theirs? Cuban seems too emotional

I think he’s mad, but his people will guide him to do the prudent thing.

Exactly. Dallas needs that TPE and it will cost them 1 or 2 SRPs. If Knicks sign Brunson outright which they can do, Dallas gets NOTHING. They are over the cap now and next year.

Dallas could consider angling for cap space to sign a guy in a year. If they are willing to facilitate Kyrie to LA they can unload Bertrans, Dinwiddie, Powell.

Let’s keep speaking Evan to the Mavs into existence. He made 241 3’s Mavs should like the fit.

Mavs could do worse that taking Fournier off our hands. He only has 1 guaranteed year left.

I have no **** idea why there are a thousand people weeping in the thread about some execrably badly written post on base year compensation when we've been discussing it for months - particularly wrt Brunson. We know this stuff guys, we really do.

Re: Shams: Jalen Brunson to New York on 4 year/$104m deal
Again, we discussed this, including the numbers, days ago. A Brunson descending contact for 106/4 enables a Fournier s&t, whereas anything less doesn't.
Edit to clarify: under the assumptions that the Detroit trades go through and a Fournier s&t is simply a one player add on to Brunson to the Knicks and the Knicks-Detroit deals
