Gary Harris (expiring) is $20
Evan’s TPE is $17
A young asset like Hampton or Okeke (I know, I like them too)
2021 #5
2023 Chicago frp (top 4 protected)
2023 Orlando frp (top 5 protected?)
For 2021 #2
That’s a LOT of financial flexibility given away + a young buck under contract + 3 strong picks
Maybe too much but it’s what you do for a guy you think is a star. Figure we still have #8 and our 2022 pick while we ride out Wall’s deal. I don’t care if we buy him out, perhaps he’d humbly buy into rebuilding his image or maybe he’s a jerk who thinks he’s still a top 5 guy…he’s not the point, on the court at least.
i dont believe you can combine a TPE with a player for a trade.
