I didn't want to give up a future pick to get out of Smart, but still have $400+ to cook with for a max cat in 2026 and think Jaylen going to have an all-NBA year w out Tatum irl.

Harper, Ivey, Brown a super fun 1-3. This a core I can get behind.

My man wrote up a rule change proposal in his favor and used the fear of vacating the franchise or being inactive as leverage to garner trade interest.
