    Playoffs sure, but most importantly, letting Scoot and Shaedon take full responsibility in the backcourt going forward. That alone is worth the price of admission imo.

    Pretty sure they'll get assets for Holiday that they couldn't for Ant at this time.

    That and him sharing baby mama with Ingram is just kind of bizarre. Not really bad - but let's just say doesn't make me impressed with his life choices.

    This trade won't help Scoot get more playing time.

    The good news is that if Scoot does get more playing time its because he got way better (or Jrue is hurt).

    Sloppy reporting. Jrue is owed $104.4 mil over three seasons. Ant just $27.7 mil. Source is Hoopshype.

    Desmond Bane is a lot better than Simons.

    Not sloppy reporting. Since the trade (presumably) is done, it is still using this current year's salaries. So Marks is showing what the salaries are they were traded on, and the future ones.

    Matisse and Jrue off the bench sounds fun

    I dreamed of a first for Simmons. We got that in Jrue, that’s a first whatever we do.

    Yes, he included this seasons salary which has been paid. But Jrue has three seasons on his deal past the conclusion of this season. He only put up two seasons worth of salary for Jrue going forward, not all three. That is all.

    That's because Simons and Holiday both have salaries for 25-26.

    The two seasons Marks is talking about are 26-27 and 27-28.

    Don’t Sabonis and KAT have similar deals that both end in 27-28 season?

    Who would you rather pair with Clingan?
