He's already with Memphis. They will be cutting him loose

Oh, duh, the Bane deal. Man, Cole Anthony and AJAX on the same team is half the Mount Rushmore of the dunk contest.

I will stick with KPJ if those are my choices and it’s not close

God damn it! That's one I wanted. It was around the BAE too, so gettable. That DFS opt-out might be screwing us a couple ways.

Not close is certainly a statement.

Well, 1 has the potential to be our needed 2nd core/creator on offense, plays good d, & has proof of concept w/ Giannis. That other doesn't.

I'm not holding my breath on KPJ becoming a core piece on a championship team.

Anthony isn't yet a FA, they have to finalize a buyout. He's making $13 million next season and a team option the year after. In the meantime KPJ can be signed now. Risky to wait for Anthony.

Cole Anthony would be a nice back up but KPjr is the priority

That really sucks. First Okoro got traded now this. Last year I wanted KPJ and it took a while but he ended up in Milwaukee. So who knows what will happen.

Amir Coffey is still a decent option. After that it's the Banton level players.

He played like a Championship player w/ the Bucks & Giannis in the regular season. Only some OKC duos beat them in net rating. And KPJ averaged a cool, efficient 21/7/7/2.3 per 36.

As for the postseason, it was his 1st. The list is long of players who floundered out the gate, Giannis included (11.5 pts, 36.6 % from field). The length, athleticism, moves, 3-level shotmaking, vision, & competitiveness are palpable.
