Sure, its not my money but I also didn't see the need to just dump him for nothing and pay to do it just to save one year of contract money. Could've traded later or at deadline, paired with Kuzma or something else later on. But, we'll see how the next few days play out. Seems more dominoes might fall

And the reduction from the buyout. It’s all cap room.

We clearly don’t value draft capital at all.

Sounds like it was necessary to make the Turner deal? That would make more sense.

Is Micic actually going to be a playable rotation guard or just a salary basically?

can someone smarter than me breakdown our cap and what we have to spend/work with now? I like how the roster is shaping but we're still missing a legit playable forward that can play 2-4.

The way Horst drafts, I don't value it much either.

I feel this really sets us up to go either way mid year. We can't still easily pivot to the trade Giannis and tank with tradeable contracts, but we also have picks to add a guy if this new team is gelling

What can't be understated is how good we are going to be defensively.

Let's be honest....Even if Dame was in the best shape of his life, he was targeted all of the time and was a liability on defense. Add to the fact that the dude had zero passion on that side of the ball.

Top 5 defense at the very worst.

Edit: ok just saw the buyout stuff, that Micic probably won't be here. Still a steep price to get off an expiring who can still play when needed

Thought so at first but reports are Micic will go back overseas and agree to a buyout. I am guessing it saves us at least 4-6 mil.

With them now having Giannis, Turner, Bobby, and Sims, it seems like Doc’s dumb ass is probably gonna continue giving Kuzma minutes at the 3 and Prince at the 2. We actually have a cool quartet of bigs and some solid younger guards, but this idiot still trying to force the Prince/Kuzma stuff is going to drive me insane.
