Kevin Durant 54.7 million

We retain 9.2 million under tax line. This is the most realistic legal trade right now that essentially matches Durant’s contract by less then 200k which makes the deal legal.

Assuming they take that deal, what other moves do you think we might try make?

Wiggins definitely heading out in this deal. He pairs well with Booker in the short term. The hold up is Ware over Jovic. Ware and Jovic make the same amount too so adding Ware over Jovic in the trade above is the same financial result.

Trying to flip Rozier and JJJ for something. Maybe trying to get off some salary to be active in the free agent market.

They’re going to go after Jrue Holiday whether we agree with it or not.

Heat’s name in this is a leverage play. Vucevic for Kuminga works for both those teams in a S&T

Yeah Wiggins 100 percent is out. For salary purposes they have to get that 30 mil opt in off the books to take on Durant’s extension.

Made a huge mistake in that draft not only passing on Maxey but also Quickley for Achuiwa. What a boneheaded mistake. He makes too much money now so doubt we are in on that
