Garrett Temple and Tomáš Satoranský plus a second is nothing.

Josh Hart also has said he does not want to stay there and does not want them to match his offer sheet or bring him back

That AD trade is trash. They got back Ingram who is mr empty losses.

Expected. Vet min's don't report until after a few days and there's no cap room left around the league.

MLE should make at least a peep

I agree somewhat. I mean if I’m Patty Mills, I’m a championship proven point guard and three point threat. I’m pricing myself based off what TJ and Burks get.

If I’m the market as a middle of the pack free agent, I’m expecting Derozan and Dinwiddie to get paid the most money left tbh ... then comes the Lauri and Hart and THT offer sheets

So far Ariza, Dwight, and Ellington.

Something might be brewing with Dennis. Too quiet for someone that seemingly no one wants

His market is basically controlled by spencer dinwiddie imo because while he’s more injury prone, he’s less hassle among nba circles

I still haven't lost hope on Hield. I haven't heard anything from Schroder so im assuming he hasn't found someone interested.

So far no news on Demar, Melo, Schroder, Gay. Trevor is a bit old a this point, but for the vet min you can't complain. Cant believe its been a decade since he's been with us.

I forgot about Patty. Would love him here as well.

I would also call Danny Green just to see if he would take the exemption.

We could be in the running for Josh Hart since the pelicans look very slim at the point guard position....

I would love to steal an exemption for the cap a pic and Josh Hart for Schroeder...

We could use that cap exception to take on a contract outright

I will also say this is THT moment ... he’s not kobe, but Kobe at that age without Nick and Eddie manned up, took control on D, ran the O, and became an all nba player

They cleared out Dennis, Kuzma, Kcp, and Caruso for him to take over and show what he’s made of

That’s not how things work. He is a restricted free agent, you have to tender him an offer sheet and we can’t go over the tax mle. If he was signed and traded here you are hard capped and you don’t hard cap yourself for Josh Hart. Josh Hart is also the idiot who said he could never play for a coach who wasn’t a player before when Frank was hired before he got shipped out
