Needed to include a sweetener like Jovic which Mia likely would view to be an overpay
Therefore needed to pursue a bigger deal and try and improve in another area like PF/ wing and make an offer for Kuzma
And if there’s a belief that Herro and Kuzma wouldn’t be able to coexist, they would have to also throw him in the deal and take back Poole
Per sign n trade rules this would need to be broken into 2 transactions but effectively one big deal
No way the Wiz touch that. They would just block our number, it's that bad.
The bigger problem for us, is the notion that Jovic would be a sweetener, he is up for his contract extension. What contract numbers is his market rate? Assuming Bam does become a full-time PF, where does that leave Jovic in basically a contract year?
I’ve been raising that question recently. The way the market has been functioning, it’s within reason to expect Jovic and his agent to seek out an offer close to or around his max extension which seems asinine at the moment. He’s gonna have to take a gigantic leap this season in order to validate the punitive cap implications that the offer would represent to the team.
Regarding Wash, they are actively trying to move Kuzma, are in danger of losing Tyus for nothing and I’d guess are less than happy with Poole. The offer isn’s unreasonable for them.
They are going with a youth movement anyways so they can afford to play Jovic 40 minutes a game and give him a good faith appraisal to determine his worth.
