He fits our timeline
He has a pure shooting stroke. Here is nbadraft.net breakdown :
"He hovers, no clunking … Fluid gait … Runs the floor productively with well above average end to end speed ... He was Stanford’s most reliable playmaker/facilitator by a wide margin as a senior (3.1 assists). Excellent distributor, surveying the action and possesses a natural guard feel … Basketball IQ is a considerable checkmark in his favor … Face up 4-man – quickness and ball handling variety … Jump shot stroke looks pure in the mid-range and collegiate three-pointer was not foreign to his repertoire (46% as junior, 14 total makes) … 80% free throw shooter in 2012-2013 … Projection as pick-and-pop threat is entirely foreseeable … Lateral agility is an asset on the defensive end where he can hedge and return to position comfortably "
He is high energy guy with size and could guard love and bigger 4s but he skilled enough to be a stretch 4. He also has elite athleticism.
Dallas wants to win now and he doesn't fit their timeline
Either sign him as RFA (4 years /40 mil) or do a sign and trade (meeks, anthony (exercise team option))

Re: dwight powell - have to target him
They'd let him walk before eating Meeks and Anthony. We'd have to just hope they don't want to match or offer something worthwhile.
Comments to rationalize bad contracts -
1) It's less than the MLE
2) He can be traded later
3) It's only __% of the cap
4) The cap is going up
5) It's only __ years
6) He's a good mentor/locker room guy

Re: dwight powell - have to target him
I agree he's someone worth considering. Would actually be my #1 target
I'd just hope Dallas doesn't match
