What would you do with our dead $21.4 mil expiring deals?

[Rapsfan07]

Unless they're going to be used in a much bigger deal, I imagine they are going to expire.

Should probably look at moving Porter for some value if such a deal is available but other than that, I don't expect much. Probably for the better anyways - we'll need some money to throw at Quickley in the offseason.

Ridiculous that Thaddeus' $8 million option was picked up. Could've not raised ticket prices with that money.

Sigh.

I really expected them to be used as necessary minor salary fodder in bigger deals. If they all end up expiring and not used, I'll be... confused.

Confused seems to be the general consensus with our management's decisions over the past 5 years, unfortunately

[Harcore Fenton Mun]

Bojan's looking nice.

[Tom_Foolery]

No team is trading anything of value that would include thad, otto, flynn or temple.

Let them expire. It's absurd that we are paying them now for nothing.

Teams in the past want to get out of a bad deal and package pick for expiring. Might as well try that.

Not that many "bad" deals anymore. Trade for Lonzo and a 2nd pick for Flynn, Thaddeus and Otto, so Chicago tries to compete this season?

Why give up your salary space for Lonzo Ball?

Damn, thad is making 8 mill to be a veteran presence

Both of them knows nothing

What a job - collecting 8M to be a potential salary ballast in a trade

He might be a viable backup PG like DRose.

Add Trent to list of deadweight expiring... should have long traded him, like fred but in the end will get nothing

[metafisical]

Honestly, Masai and Co haven't been creative enough lately to inspire hope.

TBH.

ikr. Nothing in the last two seasons convinces me that Masai and Bobby will successfully use these contracts, if extended, as trade ballast. It seems more likely that they will be extended and we just sit on them.

Honestly, either other GMs are tired of dealing with Masai, Masai has lost his magic, or a combo of both. Whatever, at this rate, we will never be contenders again. Just playin candidates.

they are not related.

we can't do anything. these players aren't even neutral value. they might be useful in a larger trade but you can't trade 21M in dead salary for something useful, even expirings. Capspace isn't as valuable as it used to be.

Google "second apron". They can at least bring back a slightly better asset on a longer contract, or a second rounder or two.

The teams that are at the second apron are title contenders, they aren't going to give away a rotation player for garbage.
Is a second round pick from the clippers even worth it? I don't care if we get a pick in the 50s or let these expire, it makes no difference.
