What I am alluding to above is Cuban is likely to F this up more and force Luka to make a decision to leave in 2 years due to ineptitude.

Oh I fully think that Cuban will F this up. Even if he was god-tier, he has no assets to reshape the team to where it needs to be and even if Nico is a god Cuban has a history of interfering. It might literally be impossible to take this from a bad team to a competitive one.
All I know is that with so few assets, we can't be spending a first round pick to ship out a bad contract.
Kleber and Bullock can be workable (if not amazing) pieces on a good team and both guys are earning less than the MLE which makes them decent contracts. Those aren't disastrous players and those aren't disastrous contracts.
We're over the cap and about to be hammered by the CBA and we have exactly two first-round picks we can trade-- 2023 (after selecting) and 2026. That is literally all we have in terms of assets other than Green/Hardy.
I just don't think I would spend the small amount of draft capital on dumping those two. Maybe a team will offer us better players for worse ones, but that doeesn't tend to happen without draft assets-- unless you are the Lakers.
