I'm down for trading demar for a young prospect who can grow with coby ayo etc. But we are not getting dejonte Murray with derozan. And we not getting any pick worth anything for him either. I don't want to add the salary. Just keep derozan and let him walk.
The problem is we know they won’t let him walk. So trade him for a late first and good role player or two. I think a team would offer that, but AK wouldn’t take it.
If it means adding salary past this season. I don't want it. Rather clear the books. Feel we have better flexibility that way especially if we take the bojan and Harris deal from Detroit for lavine and we can medically retire lonzo. If we retain pwill for cheap or let him go, we can be factors in free agency. That is a better option than taking a contending teams trash and a pick that does nothing for us just to say we got something for derozan.
Patrick Williams gonna get AT LEAST $15 million per and I don’t see Zach getting traded before next season starts. We are basically gonna have the same team. Just gotta hope Zach healthy and back to his usual efficiency. Only chance to really some cap space this Summer is medically retiring Lonzo Ball. I have no idea how his rehab is going, but I can only assume he intends to play. And I hope is able to play next season.
