Instead of expiring contracts, couldn’t they opt to create a huge trade exception?
Can you reroute Temple or Satoransky for even more money?
That at least makes me feel better. It would just be extremely disappointing if we do the Mem trade to clear cap space and have everyone decline our offers. Then we pivot to a trade that has us sending a FRP and it ends up being for nothing.
I understand that locking into a core of Lonzo, Zion, & BI is risky but I think I would've rather kept the 10th pick, Adams, Bledsoe and matched Zo & Hart (kept Lakers and our own pick) with the 10th pick could've chosen b/w Bouknight, Moody, Kispert. Hindsight is 20/20 we didn't know Moody and Bouknight would be there so I'll roll with Kispert. Let's even go best case scenario and say we get Hield which roster do you prefer?
Scenario A
PG: Bledsoe
SG: Ball
SF: BI
PF: Zion
C: Adams
NAW
Kira
Kispert
Hayes
+2 more draft assets
Scenario B
PG: Graham
SG: Hield
SF: BI
PF: Zion
C: JV
NAW
Kira
Murphy
Temple
Hayes
-2 less draft assets
In scenario A I think it's likely Bledsoe gets bought out he would've essentially been an expiring right? Regardless he would've been benched for NAW / Kira to get more playing time. Scenario B has way more shooting no defense and less draft capital. I guess it comes down to A.) we have to expand the Memphis trade and B.) would you rather have Adams + 2 more draft picks to use in trades or JV and 2 less picks?

Can we even trade Sato?
Not really and ita a LONG story but basically it would be much better to use Satoransky by himself than add him in to get maximum return.
Basically, if you add him, he will count as 5 mil. Not nothing, but if you trade him by himself, you can take a 15 mil player back

So, it would take Hart included to get Hield. If Gabriel and Iwundu are added, it looks very close.

Can you elaborate at all on what the ?other opportunity? was that caused the Graham trade to change to include a first rounder?
So will we be adding to the trade today? Who is looking to dump salary? Will we be taking on the ghost of Kevin Love for Josh Hart?

I’ve talked myself into being totally fine with Reggie Jackson and Bertans to close out free agency. Surround Zion and BI with elite shooting. That Bertans contract isn’t as bad as it looks
I really hope something happens today. I'm ready to evaluate this offseason as a whole.
Don't see him as available now that the Wizards have been able to complete the Dinwiddie S&T without needing to unload his contract.
Curious to see what happens with Hart also Are we looking to move him at his request or could we re-sign him if all else fails.
I like the idea of Reggie Jackson and Bertans without giving up anything significant.
They have Kuzma, Harrel, Thomas Bryant, Rui, and Deni. I can?t imagine they want to play Vertans heavy minutes above some of those guys. I?d be they would love to get off that contract and add some flexibility. Could get and asset for taking on the contract
Hart probably makes the most sense for the Wizards. Would they consider Hart for Bertans and a protected first
We'll see. His contract is not good (although the last year is only guaranteed for $5 million) and he would give us a backup 3/4.
Reggie Jackson and Bertans are elite shooters now? Both players are ok but aren't elite at anything.
I was more so saying generally elite shooting. But yes Bertans is an elite 3 point shooter. Jackson also shot 45% last season on catch and shoot 3s
I'd obviously rather Ingles than Bertans because Ingles is better and on a 1 year deal, but if you can get Bertans for nothing I'd do it
I think the Jazz made it pretty clear that they aren't dumping any of their good players.
I wish we could get Markkanen on a decent deal. If we got him I would be content with our team this year. Is Satoransky on the team? ESPN has Temple on our roster, but his name is missing. We have 15 players as of now and could only add someone if we get rid of a player to make room for him. I would likely make Didi and Jones two way players. I would love to bring back Josh Hart too if possible.
C: Jonas, Hayes
PF: Zion, Markkanen, Jones
SF: BI, Murphy, Naji, Iwundu
SG: NAW, Temple, Didi
PG: Graham, Satoransky, Kira
I would rather NAW come off the bench, but Temple is a rotation player. I could be content with a depth chart like this. We for sure need a backup 4 though.
Maybe I missed something. Last reports I saw said he was available.
Think we only have 14 with Hart and Gabriel is not guaranteed. Jones could end up being a 2-way.
This is conjecture but points to Ingles not being in trade plans for Utah.

And this is just me speculating but I would think that if we had any interest in Markkanen we would have fit him into the Zo package.
Good positive energy.
But also, yo mama's fat.
