They might be able to move Jackson to a team like the Knicks since they have cap space and missed out. I don't think the Clips would want him but they might take him too...since he's an expiring it doesn't matter...Knicks working on a 2 year timetable anyway now so could pick up his option and work with him for 2 years....could just hope the Barrett/Jackson/Knox/Randle/Robinson along with DSJ grow into something.
Or we could stretch Josh.
One of the PG has to get moved I feel like. Rubio, Tyler, Jerome, Melton and Okobo? Cant see us having 5 on the roster
Melton and Okobo and Tyler Johnson actually all more of combo guards anyway. Johnson more of a SG really. But he expires anyway.
They are only like $1.4 million each...league minimum is about a million. So what's the point of moving them really? You just have to add some other guy..probably a G leaguer....so you save only maybe $500K if you move one of them...and that's replacing with undrafted rookie.
If you replace with a vet, even a 1 year vet, they make the same....they are basically on minimum deals. Why not keep development guys at end of roster?
