That means one of Sexton/Osman/Windler/Stevens/Wade isn't on the team next year, with simply not signing Sexton or cutting Windler/Stevens/Wade being the most straightforward options. Sign-and-trading Windler and/or Osman for Rubio also being on the table if the Pacers are willing.

Decent enough stop-gap as a PG. Makes our guard rotation even more bloated especially if Sexton is coming back. I guess its Sexton, Okoro, and LeVert try-outs until January.
In theory all the depth would be nice.
I count about 1800 minutes last season that went to "In Case of Emergency Break Glass" level players.

Re: 2022 off season
I imagine if Rubio comes back and Neto's minutes dry up we'll do him a solid and trade/release him.

To Indy for Rubio? Then double S&T Sexton for Warren to follow?

Re: 2022 off season
Personally, I wouldn't and doubt the Cavs are. They gave Rubio the portion of the MLE to avoid being hard capped, so doubt they turn around and accept a player via S&T to hard cap themselves.gflem wrote:JujitsuFlip wrote:I assume Windler or Cedi are gone.

Probably just trade Windler somewhere with cash and maybe a 2nd rounder attached, call it a day.
Could waive Stevens, then throw him back on a 2-way, to clear a roster spot.
The Cavs don't have to figure it out until October.

They may have given Rubio less than the MLE because that was how much he was worth on the market. It may have nothing to do with the hard cap.
Stevens probably gets signed by somebody to a minimum deal rather than having to take a two-way.
It probably isn't possible, but the Cavs could do something squirrelly and not technically sign Rubio until he finishes his rehab.

Re: 2022 off season
Rubio's contract AAV is $6 million, I doubt it is a coincidence that coincides with this season's portion of the MLE to avoid the hard cap.toooskies wrote:JujitsuFlip wrote:Personally, I wouldn't and doubt the Cavs are.

It's somewhat under the actual number and it's not the typical most you can get with 8% annual raises.

Any Sexton rumblings floating around out there?

Been googling daily for them, but most most I've seen is that the Cavs extended an offer to Sexton that in the value range of 3/50, not sure if it was longer or not, and that the Mavs would be looking to make a push for Sexton after losing out on Brunson. But even then nothing really concrete on any of the information.

Re: 2022 off season
Agbaji and Brobley signed to their expected deals, so that just leaves Sexton as unresolved.

Re: 2022 off season
Nembhard or however its spelled, signed the second 2way, so the roster is at 17 with the cap hold for Sexton, he can sign his QO which would bring the roster to 18, then just have to get rid of one of Cedi, Windler, Stevens, Neto, or Wade. Probably have a couple Exhibit 10 contracts as well to reach the 20 man training camp roster limit.

Re: 2022 off season
I wonder if they can play games with Ricky's contract so they get him paid, but don't technically sign him until he's ready to play. If he wants to stay in Spain until his rehab is complete, perhaps something could be done?

The obvious choice to waive is Windler to me if it comes to that. Cedi would most likely net more in a trade but then a player/contract would have to come back so not sure that trading him solves anything unless player coming back can be bought out or waived. I don't see Wade being moved as he has been useful when given the opportunity, same with Stevens. Neto was just signed as our backup PG until Rubio is ready so he is here at least until then imo.

Windler is probably the easiest out of those 2 (Cedi) to trade. Don't have to take a player back in a trade. If a team has a TPE or even just some cap, can trade Windler plus cash to a team for a top 55 protected 2nd rounder or even the rights to an overseas player.
