Nah not keen on Robinson.

Maybe Reaves for Hart makes more sense.

Lakers would be looking for FRPs for future trade I think.

Don't see a deal TBH, Reaves is better than Bridges the way both have been playing the last 2 years, but the Knicks paid king's ransom to get Bridges and they aren't going to sell low.

You're probably right.

Maybe Hart+FRP for Reaves?

Lakers shouldn't consider it.

Would obviously rather sign someone like LaRavia or Tate with the taxpayer MLE, bring back Shamet, and roll with McBride - Shamet - Laravia/Tate - Achiuwa - Robinson off the bench; plus Kolek - Dadiet - Hukporti in case of injuries.

I like him and I think he'd get a lot of playing time with the Mavs, but the salary gap is getting tough... I don't think you're interested in O-Max, and the Mavs don't have enough SRP to close the gap... Caleb Martin makes too much... I also like something between McBride and Daron Holmes in Denver?

Gafford ?

To make Gafford work we’d need to hit the 2nd apron, meaning we couldn’t use the taxpayer mle. If we can’t get anyone good with it then that would be fine, but if we could use it to add a 20mpg guy to our rotation then that becomes less appealing.

New York wouldn’t bite on either of those just because our offense regressed without Brunson.

None, they ask for FRPs.

DET's days of having salary cap room are ending very soon. We'd have room for him next season, but could be flirting with the tax line as soon as 2026-27, when Lillard has a PO for $58.5M

Lillard is way too expensive to be Cade's backup, and I certainly wouldn't want to pay him for his D

I was imagining Cade sliding down to the 2, seems like he has the size for it

But the cap concerns are definitely real

DET is Cade's team, and will be for the next 5-10 years.. Lillard may or may not be a better player today, but there is no way that DET is trading for a ball-dominant lead guard more than a decade older than our foundational star.

Hmm...Dallas did this and went to the NBA Finals.

I would like to see Lavine with Cade...and he only has 2 years left on his contract...

Maybe in minority (probably am).

But seems like I add Gafford and take MPJ.

Lower salary right? Maybe Santi will come play for you for salary X, but Memphis will match that. Rather than pay him salary Y that you think Memphis won't match, move a player you are upgrading and a minor asset to get the price you want. And depending on how much that is, they could use cap space first and then add him.
