We had to have cap space to re-sign Deron. We could have signed Deron FIRST, and then traded for JJ, although we couldn't have come close to matching salary with only expiring contracts. But your scenario was getting JJ to convince Deron to come here.

Thanks for explaining.

A way might've been found (since we would be offering some actual talent vs just cap relief) but I acknowledge it is a stretch.

Deron/JJ/Dirk would have been smooth.
