They better - Williams for Harris is a lateral move at best - if they do it while giving up their trade exception to help Dallas in the FA Market this would be a major fail on several levels.

The Mavericks, Clippers and Jazz have agreed to a trade in principle that would send Mo Williams to the Jazz and Lamar Odom from Dallas to the Clippers, as long as Mo Williams elects to opt-in on his $8.5 million contract by Saturday. Williams and his agent are surely gauging interest throughout the league to see what kind of offer he might get if he opts out and becomes an unrestricted free agent, but this deal looks like it is likely to happen. The Mavs would send Odom to the Clippers, who would send Williams to the point-guard challenged Jazz. The Mavs would get a trade exception from the Jazz and be rid of Odom and his contract. Stay tuned. - Rotoworld

Mo makes less than Harris, so they wouldn't need to use the TPE to make that deal.

oh c'mon, numby. that's smoke and mirrors, and you know better:
jazz couldn't have been in the conversation with indy because indy didn't have a way to acquire harris' salary. so it's not like indy was chooing between harris/hill and picked hill. but nice try.

it's not that. it's that mo and his agent, on june 28, have clearly already explored the free agent market and made projections and have a very good idea of what mo should do with his PO. in fact, we know that's the case because we had already heard that he planned to opt in with LAC.
now, while three teams try to figure out their draft night strategy based on what happens with this trade, mo and his agent are holding them at their mercy for no other reason than because THEY CAN. and that petulant use of the players' leverage over teams is exactly why we have nasty labor disputes every time a CBA expires.

I loved mo in his first run here. I'm glad to see there is a good shot he is back.
2nd rounder would make the most sense, but I doubt there is any sweetener.
Also, can you trade a player along with the TPE?
Don't give me that ****. You're the one that threw this butt-****ing retarded scenario into the works of an otherwise fully functional discussion. If you're going to take scenarios completely out of context, own it, don't act like I am the moron here.
As it stands, I tried to take your head-in-the-clouds bull **** and turn it into some kind of practical comparison, which is more than you can say.

Dallas is the team that has to pony up. The Clips are effectively making a straight deal. Dallas just doesn't want to pay their freight. So while the Clips can toss in a 2nd, KOC should be putting the screws to Cuban. Hard to say how much you can get when only 2.5 - 3 million is at stake, but just getting a 2nd from them isn't enough.
