Next year is a new year and things change. But RJ is an expiring and people keep saying those guys have value, right?
Cap is deff an issue if you want to keep your guys like you suggested in the post.....We would have to make trades or we lose them for nothing....Decisions must be made.
And Expirings do have value if you are taking on an expensive flawed star like Trae/AD who make 50 mill....Teams want to dump these guys for expirings so they rid of that cap space.
Don't think teams are taking on Yak or IQ so we are stuck with them two while losing RJ/Mammu....Not the best cap management for me.
Again...you are jumping to conclusions way too early.
Who says we are losing RJ/Mamu? Mamu could sign with MLE and it's Gradey moved. Maybe Mamu gets an overpay this offseason and leaves on his own? Maybe the Raps make the small Ochai for Richard's deal to get under the tax then unexpectedly beat a higher seed in the playoffs and Mgt decides to build on this roster and goes into the tax next year. Maybe RJ as an expiring is wanted by teams and the Raps take on multiple cheaper guys who also fit as well as RJ has.
6 months ago people were wondering how much Ochai gets and how we can afford it. It resolved itself...of course it's just Mamu now.
It's early in the build. Let's enjoy things just a little with so many "maybes" possible next year. I "expect" that Ochai type trade this deadline. Maybe something unexpected happens, who knows. But what I know is that if we can get guys healthy, other teams are really going to dislike facing the Raps. And just that is a big step forward.
Yeah the wait and see approach is fine and dandy until you lose players for nothing....Can't afford to lose players we are not good enough for that.
