Detroit / New Orleans / Sacramento

This is ok but not a big needle mover as far as the type of depth Sac is looking for. Gaining cap is good because it helps us be sure to secure Monk now without worrying about him walking.


Agree that Ivey is a question with Zion but maybe not as much if they move CJ and Ivey works on his shot.

As far as Huerter goes he is still fine in Sac but his role will change depending on how things shake out with Monk. Ellis makes far more sense as a starter next to Fox and if we can unload the salary to retain Monk we are in much better shape overall and can utilize the non taxpayer full MLE to bring in a decent younger PF out of Free agency.

Cap doesn’t factor into how much we can offer Monk is my understanding.

of course it does, we can only offer the early bird now

hence getting below the cap by dumping would be advantageous and probably needed to offer market value to him

It’s not practical. Not only would they have to off load enough salary to get 25+ million below, they’d lose the MLE and BAE.
