It's either And or OR. In any scenario it has to be for sheer cap space.


Knicks/Mavs/Clippers might be interested in taking on those contracts..they're one of few teams who has 20+ mil left to absorb contracts.
yeah, as less teams have it more price costs. Have to incentivize with assets but IMO the risk is worth it.

Teague has value. Not only as a veteran but as an expiring contract. Then we have to throw in okogie or Culver. The thing is that the nets have been extremely busy with other free agents and those teams with cap space are trying to see what other free agents they can get before making a verbal trade agreement. The good news is no other news

I think it's quite the opposite. It's quiet because it takes time

If there are pick(s) involved, they may go to the 3rd team with okogie or Culver going to the nets

The longer it takes, the more expensive it's going to get with cap space drying up IMO.

Multiple teams have heard that Minnesota is confident that they can trade Andrew Wiggins this summer. Doing so could open up the cap space necessary to sign D'Angelo Russell, who is tight with Karl-Anthony Towns.

Why exactly do we have to throw Okogie or Culver in? A future pick is more than what they'd get from LA or NYK

He still hasn't signed elsewhere but really starting to struggle with how we can get this done.
