    Didn't ORL deny their option on Ingles? He is a free agent but rumored to working a new deal.

    If the deal if Grant to the Warriors, this is what I’d want:

    - ‘26 1st unprotected
    - ‘28 1st top 10 protected that may or may not convey
    - ‘29 GSW 2nd
    - Moses Moody at a re-signed bargain deal similar to Avdija’s. If it’s something like for essentially zero players in return if it’s just CP3, and I’m totally off Wiggins at this point. I’m not out on Wiggins the player, we just have so many other wings to develop.

    Moody is 6’6 in shoes. A bit short for a SF but his wingspan is like a full inch longer than Shae’s. If acquiring Moody is essentially just re-upping on his rookie deal, take it and see if we can tap into that 3-D potential.

    If it may happen we'll either here it announced in a few hours or that CP3 contract deadline has been pushed back again.

    An acquired-and-extended Moses Moody would be my “FA get” of the offseason, even though he isn’t a real FA.

    Avdija is the glue-guy two way forward we’ve been looking for. So that’s a check for Cronin.

    Look for guys who still could have real potential left when we get rid of the vets. In Moody’s case, not everyone is born with that wingspan, and he’s a career 36% 3pt shooter despite limited attempts (3 3PA last season isn’t bad though). He isn’t going to be a playmaker, but he’s getting better at committing to a decision, and he can really attack the basket despite the subpar athleticism. He just turned 22 and has one year left on his rookie deal.

    Wingspans:
    Scoot - 6’9
    Shae - 6’11.5
    Moody - 7’0.5

    We would not lacking in length, we would actually be among the longest in the league. Deni’s wingspan would be tied for the shortest with Scoot among our notable pieces, but he’s our best overall defender. Clingan’s wingspan is crazy as well.

    couple head scratchers so far:

    Raptors gave Quickly a Jerami Grant contract... ouch

    Why did the Wizards double down on the Richaun Holmes terrible contract?

    They reworked the Holmes deal to get him the same money, but to let this first year fit in to the MLE, which work essentially as TPEs now

    I have tried so many different trade ideas with GS on the ESPN Trade machine and nothing works. Not even Grant straight across for Chris Paul and their contracts are within $200,000
    of one another. Do things change after July 1?

    Don't use ESPN. They suck.

    I don't think Joe is taking the day off. I think he's active on the phones with teams that want Jerami, Ant and probably others.

    think either JG or Ant are contingency plans for teams who strike out in FA. Doubt that happens tonight.

    Yup. Lakers and Magic seem like good candidates.

    Yeah, I think Joe's comment about planting a lot of seeds on draft day was about what you're saying. I personally think it will be JG and Ant.

    I'm just wondering if there's any market for Timelord. I think it's entirely too risky to play him.
