That depends on what they do with $20 million a year....

Pretty good value for Denver here
the heat are giving butler a max contract so does that mean robinson is out?...
Boooooo
Surely there is more to this deal
I guess we'll see what we do with the cap space to know for sure. Feels like a loss, now, but if that space is filled with something good.....I dunno.
That is a joke of a return on Ball. Nothing good to say about this from NBA channel. There has to be something else in mind here (expiring contracts?)
Now to sit and wait to see what else we do.
Tomas has a 10mil expiring which is fine, Temple was an UFA though so wonder what kind of coin we threw at him.
*Constantly leaks that we won't resign Lonzo*
*Lonzo only want to go to Chicago *
*Leaks intensify*
*People surprised we got table scraps instead of nothing *
Have we not seen how Rich Paul does business? He always sabotages trade value.
I'm fine with Tomas. He's as good a player as Hart, and he's expiring so he doesn't bog us down with bad long term value.
Similarly, I don't expect Temple to get any real playtime.
The question isn't ''am I excited by these individual players in a vacuum'' because that's not how these kinds of decisions are made. In reality we had three main choices with Lonzo.
1) Pay him $20m+ a year.
2) Let him walk for nothing
3) S&T him for any value we can get.
We did 3. I think that's the best option, because I do not think Ball is worth $20m a year and losing players for nothing sucks. So what did we get back in the S&T? Well, $15m of extremely tradable salary including an expiring, and a second round pick. $10m of that salary is Tomas Satoransky, who is a good and productive NBA player - just as good as, for example, Josh Hart, who will probably cost more than $10m this offseason, so that's saving us money elsewhere as well.
Do I think it's a magical move of genius that makes me thrilled beyond belief? No. But I'm fine with it, and am willing to wait to see what else Griff does before having a tantrum over it.

The contract is meh, but those two players aren't going to cut it for me
Well free agency just started
im just going to assume that rich paul does not want his good players here...so matching lonzo offer would have been a bad thing for us...
I'm starting to believe that David Griffin was brought in to sabotage the organization
We traded Ball for two people who can’t even shoot. Griff is trash man.
