They are not letting him go. The S&T option will also not be worth it for them since it’ll probably only be 2nd round pick and cap exception. Duncan’s contract will be a main piece if a high priced star opens up. Especially once we get our picks to attach.

Only this fanbase believes that bad contracts are an asset. Tyler Johnson's bad contract got up Ryan Anderson ... and we're still paying off that contract.

He insisted it also was about protecting the future of Tyler Herro and Duncan Robinson with his franchise.
“You can’t let go of those two assets, you can’t, because they could become truly great,” Riley said during a video media. “They’re very, very good players right now, and I think they’re probably a year or two away from making what their early max could be from a production standpoint.
“So I’d hate to have that come back at us if we were to do something and try to move them. But we’re not going to. So from that standpoint, what happened [Thursday] is you’re going to see Duncan, you’re going to see Tyler.”
-This is what Pat Riley had to say after the trade deadline. He’s matching Duncan.

I'm sure we will just like we did with TJ. Still foolish. As far as the rest of it ... just Pat Riley pumping with hopes of dumping those assets at inflated prices.

He had no reason to pump a restricted free agent in Duncan after the deadline passed. He had the chance to trade him and didn’t. He now has to match or lose the asset he was trying to pump. Better hope Duncan can turn into Reggie Miller instead of going the TJ route. It’s probably more likely they trade Herro in a deal attached with Dragic and Iguodala for something worth while.

Those quotes were just Riley playing politics to keep those guys from losing their confidence. Hours prior we were fully prepared to ship Duncan’s ass out but Toronto wanted to dick around.

Put my GM hat on the other day. Phucked around and ended up with a lineup of:
Wiseman
Evan Mobley
Ziaire Williams
Jalen Green/Moses Moody
Collin Sexton
Gave myself a big ole pat on the back.

He should of shipped him out instead now we have to deal with his restricted.

Should have? Yeah. But from his perspective there's no point in developing assets just to give them away cheap.

"During the pre-draft process, the New Orleans Hornets had zeroed in on Davis and Lilliard, hoping to draft both and make them the cornerstones of the franchise. This was a realistic scenario and likely wouldn't have happened if Lillard's stock hadn't significantly increased it the weeks leading up to the draft . . . .
"New Orleans' top option was to draft Lillard. They believed he had star potential and loved the idea of building around Davis and Lillard going forward. At the time, Lillard was being projected as a late-lottery pick since he came from a small school in Weber State where he was primarily a scorer. There were some in NBA circles who wondered if he could be a facilitator and play point guar in the NBA. . . .
"The Hornets' front office worked out many players but it was clear that Davis and Lillard were their two primary targets. New Orleans hoped that Lillard wouldn't climb into the top 10 because they loved the idea of having their point guard and big man of the future. They thought Davis and Lillard complemented one another nicely. . . . ."
