Throw in okogie or culver an it’s a different story. Using cap space to take on bad contracts for funsies isn’t a good move.
The asset is pairing the tax down further and getting out from under roberson's deal. We are not signing a free agent with the upside Wiggins could give you.
This is this is the sort of mindset that led Presti to surrender a first for Dion Waiters.
“If you're getting stops and you're making threes and the other team's not scoring, that's when you're going to see a huge point difference there,” coach Billy Donovan said.

Is it accurate to call that neutral if you are taking on that contact though? Seems like you're putting yourself in a worse position longer term to save some tax and in the wishing he turns good.spearsy23 wrote:Old Man Game wrote:spearsy23 wrote:The asset is pairing the tax down further and getting out from under roberson's deal.

No it isn't, I'm talking about offering neutral value for a bad contact with potential on a rebuilding team. Risk changes based on the current circumstances.

Flip him to the Blazers for Whiteside and a first when Nurkic is back in FebruaryKizz Fastfists wrote:spearsy23 wrote:I'd call Gallo + robes neutral at best.
If he is healthy I could see some team giving up a first at the deadline for Gallo. Someone like Detroit who will likely be on the playoff bubble could offer Langston Galloway, Tony Snell and a first for Gallo.
Other fringe playoff teams could do something similar. NY could do offer some expiring/team option salary and a Dallas pick if their collection of veterans looks like they will sneak into the playoffs. Gallinari is the type of player who should have more value for an in-season move then he does in the off-season. I think Presti flips him at some point to add to his newly stockpiled war chest. I don't think Roberson gets moved unless he proves he is 100% and then some team could decide they want him for the playoffs.

I don't think he is available. If Toronto tears everything down, he's likely the only guy they'd keep out of whatever is left after Leonard's departure.ThunderBolt wrote:I don’t know if Toronto would do it, but I’m curious if presti will try to use some of the acquired assets to get Siakam from the raptors. The price would be high but that’s the player I could see Presti trying to target so we don’t bottom out.

Siakam is getting a max contract next off-season. I don't see Presti jumping into that at the start of a rebuild. I also think Grant gets traded at some point for that reason. If Grant starts the season shooting like he did last year I think he gets traded during the season because he could get a max offer, or close enough Presti won't want to commit that much at this point, in a weak FA class.

Even if his 3p% holds, he's nowhere close to max. That would be 130/4. Who's insane enough to pay that?!Kizz Fastfists wrote:ThunderBolt wrote:I don’t know if Toronto would do it, but I’m curious if presti will try to use some of the acquired assets to get Siakam from the raptors.
