Why Spurs do this: They finally get a solid long term wing that can score and is a plus defender, whilst taking advantage of Barnes current high value. This frees up more minute for Castle at the PG position

Why Spurs don’t do this: Grant has a big contract, and giving up a first alongside Jones is a big hit to their assets.

Why Portland do this: Joe Cronin finally gets his high asking price for Jerami Grant, and take a gamble on OMAX, whilst also getting a reliable forward in PJ Washington

Why Portland don’t do this: They give up multiple seconds and their third center at an injury filled position.

Why Dallas do this: They replace PJ with a vet who puts up similar fundamentals offensively, whilst surrounding their roster with better depth, and dumping the kleber contract

Why Dallas don’t do this: They lose their younger, solid defensive forward as well as a protected first for low value seconds. Tre Jones is on an expiring contract and has been underperforming this season.

Please let me know thoughts and adjustments! Perhaps Dallas is giving up too much?

Thanks!
