Just FYI. But I'm ok if we sign him.
We very probably won't be signing him. We have about $20m in cap, and he's gonna be looking for a max. Somebody will give it to him, whether it's Phoenix (desperate for a point guard), NYC (may bust out on all other FAs now Durant is injured and AD is a no-go), etc.
If the Nets sign Kyrie, I would try to sign Russell with a lower first year and backloaded a tad. Then I would try to move Ball with Hill or Moore later if we were able to sign Russell. I would like to bring in a max guy since his contract will come up when Zion is due for a new deal. Red flag or not, I think Russell is a beast compared to Ball. We could use his shooting in starting lineup.
Then come 2022 we could have a Zion, DLo, Ingram big 3 as our max level guys if the latter two are as good as advertised. We will have plenty of rookies in all those years to build around those 3.
We’d have to sign and trade and send Moore, Hill their way
