MIL In: MPJ
In this case It should be MIL 2031 1st going to BKN. MPJ at worst is as good as Cam Johnson, Kyle Kuzma is terrble and Pat Connaughton is useless (was for MIL)
First option provides $18M in cap space for Denver (it doesn't work in Sportac BTW) and 12 mil under 1st Apron to sign player to improve bench (preferable backup C). In your proposal they get Connaughton, not good, on position they don't need. MIL gets the best player in a deal, overpaid, but good.
Uhhh, no. We can maybe debate who's the better player in a vacuum, but you're not getting the 3rd team to pay the asset cost AND take on the worse contract between the two. This is of course dependent on the idea that the Nuggets want to save on tax/payroll and view Johnson as a better fit/player. If they don't value Cam Johnson then this deal is DOA.
In the first proposal it was between Johnson + cap space vs MPJ 1st. Fair option
Your proposal is Kuz (way worse then both MPJ or Cam) to BKN + dumping Connaughton for MPJ and no cap space for Denver.
Why should Denver pay to improve Mil a lot?
I don't see first proposal working in sportac ($18M in cap space for Den), but if Mil want to dump Connaughton they should find a 4th team, and since Kuz's contract is smaler than MPJ, maybe BKN could add 2nd to help MIL.
Diference between 2 options are cap space for Denver or Connaughton.
For Mil it is Kuz+Connaughton+2nd for MPJ. You can't dump them for good starter for 2nd
Great call!
