    Honestly this team still has the same problem it had during the CJ/Dame years.....over half the cap tied to defensively challenged scoring guards. If our defense is still bad for the first half next year I feel like you have to make a decision between one of them.

    Still curious why the Grant deal isn't official yet...

    even the Mavs/Wood deal became official today.

    I agree and I kinda don't want to move any young talent (Hart included) until after this season. I really want to see what we have with a lot of these guys, and last year was NOT a good barometer.

    Hart is a UFA after this season.

    Hart would be a good edition to a contending team, which is what those idiots think we may be……SO WHY TRADE HIM?

    I'd totally give the full MLE to Otto Porter Jr.

    Stopgap starter at either SF or PF.

    Technically he has a player option.

    Can that Detroit deal be expanded to this?

    upload_2022-6-24_11-5-44.png

    Pistons got #13 in return.

    We would get our backup C without looking for him in FA. And we'd still retain our TPE.

    Don't think Ingles will be signing here. He was a throwin to make a trade work. Never played here. Having his bird rights is irrelevant because no one would want to pay him that much. Too old to be a plus defender. We can do better on the free agent market.

    Cannot combine players with TPEs. We need to send more salary out.

    I didn't get that impression from Joe last night. He alluded to the fact that we needed more. But then again the feed made it tough to hear every word he said, so maybe he said........ we don't need more.

    Also, why the hell would Detroit eat Bledsoe's contract? The reason they did the Grant deal was so they didn't have to take salary back.

    Unfortunately it looks like we also have a deceased player on the payroll. When i worked up a trade for Durant, they had him listed on the payroll next season as well.

    As a third stringer. We need to find one of those athletic shot blocker types.

    Fanspo is broken. We can't send 19M and receive 30M back.

    I think Detroit would need something else kicked to them to take on Bledsoe. But also, Bledsoe isn't enough outgoing salary for us to keep our tpe.

    ya no kidding, we need a better trade machine.

    maybe the Grant deal isn't official just because he hasn't taken his physical yet cuz he's in Paris.

    I believe OKC still has cap space left for this season. If we wanted to help NY clear more space, we could guarantee Bledsoe for around 14.7, send him to OKC. NY sends a pick to OKC and a pick to us, and they send us Burks and Noel. We get tradeable contracts, a backupb3/2, a backup 5, and a future asset. NY clears over 19 million immediately. Okc gains an asset for taking on salary.

    He said it, but he’s putting a roster together that is going to be good enough not to be good enough. And not good enough not to be bad enough
