I think it was Bill Simmons that was pushing the Timmy/Frank for DSJ/Wessy deal, but I'm not sure I'd do that.
Here's a more complicated version that may work better for us and still work for Dallas:
Dallas gets: Timmy / Vonleh / TJ Warren
Dallas gives: Wessy Wes / Barea / DSJ / lotto protected 1st
Phoenix gets: Mudiay / Lee / Dal lotto protected 1st
Phoenix gives: TJ Warren / Troy Daniels / 2nd rounder
NY gets: DSJ / Wessy (expiring) / Barea (expiring) / Daniels (expiring) / Phx 2nd rounder
NY gives: Timmy / Vonleh / Mudiay / Lee
It would be tough to lose Vonleh. But I don't think we can chase free agents and expect to have a shot at him, it's one or the other. He's never had a big contract, and if a team offers him an MLE type deal he's not going to tell them to hold on while NY dances with every big name in the FA market.
Mudiay is better than DSJ now, so there's definite risk in that swap. But the contract situation is in DSJ's favour, and the upside is greater, I'd say. This would be a bet on Fizdale's ability to rehabilitate DSJ.
The deal would also create roughly ~24m extra in cap space next year on top of the $30 or so we have (depends on where we draft, and what the cap ends up being).
Any takers?
Another version, where we keep Timmy/Vonleh, but tough to see either Phoenix or Dallas agreeing to this unless the latter really wants TJ Warren and the former wants to clear the books:
Dallas gets: Lee / TJ Warren / NYK 2nd rounder
Dallas gives: Wessy Wes / DSJ
Phoenix gets: Mudiay / Hezonja
Phoenix gives: TJ Warren / Troy Daniels
NY gets: DSJ / Wessy (expiring) / Daniels (expiring)
NY gives: Mudiay / Lee / Hezonja / 2nd rounder
