Lol he'll no.. boucher will be re signed... he's been great.

I’d hate to pay him 12-14M which is likely what he’ll want. He’s playing great but don’t forget it’s a contract year. I wouldn’t be surprised if he goes back to his chucking ways once he signs a long term deal

I can live with that. Goran was not an asset and anything Eubanks gives is gravy.

I think we have to factor in the trade that got us Dragic.

Out: Lowry, Dragic, 1st round pick currently #20
In: Achiuwa, half-season of Thad, Eubanks on a cheap non-guarantee next year, 2nd round pick currently #32.

With the alternative being nothing for Lowry.

Second round picks don’t have rookie scale contracts or guaranteed salary. Thanks though.

And what financial flexibility does this give us? Please do explain what we gain from this lol.

Based on the 20th pick, up to $2.7M in salary for year 1 and not needing to guarantee $2.8M in year 2. Any more questions?

And what are you suggesting we can do with this "financial flexibility" when we are over the cap anyways?

Based on this, we should have traded our 4th pick in Barnes for a 2nd rounder only just so we can gain "financial flexibility" lol.

the calculus really is

17 mil cap space + room MLE + 2022 1st (lotto protected)

or

Achiuwa, Birch, half-season of Thad, Eubanks on a cheap non-guarantee next year, 2nd round pick currently #31

Loool we say this every year

I like Thybulle, and think he would fit in great here. Though I don't think we can trade for him with our available assets.
