    That only factors in next season when we get the full cap hit from Reaves contract

    We can audition the team until then, and then decide if we want to move one of Reaves or Duren/Kessler for more role players.

    Two bigs that I don't get the love affair with are Duren and Robinson. Duren was BAD in the playoffs, and Robinson is an injury prone, poor shooting center who is about 5 years removed from being the rim running lob threat Luka fans romanticize about. To be fair, he is an excellent offensive rebounder though.

    Duren is 22 and has plenty room to grow into becoming a better playoff performer. He had a great regular season.19.5 points, 10.5 rebounds, and 2.0 assists per game.
    He was an All Star and was selected Third Team All NBA.
    I’m not super hyped about either RFA choice we are trying to land, but this is where we’re at.

    Latest from Fischer

    Russ returning to Washington?
    But like, why?

    Spurs still looking to add another forward with their MLE and we're also linked to Mamu
    Way to much $ for him


    More on Wade
    Every writer who's mentioned him mentions Philly. Got to think they're in the driver seat there.


    Isaac likely staying in Orlando

    Pacers interested in some wing depth

    sometimes it feels like we are only interested in white players

    How are we supposed to win like that?

    :D:D:D

    That'd be crazy. I imagine he would want to form a partnership with Luka, the best guard to play with centers.

    We are meeting with him today.

    Also read that we may be into Gary Trent Jr. That's such a Laker signing, I think he's really coming. He has been trash lately

    If we don’t get Duran. Then we have Ayton for one season. Bring in Robert Williams bring back Lebron bring in Zaire Williams. And everybody 1 year deals. And sign Rui. I can get with that.

    Luka is supposed to close free agents. And he is supposed to get Jokic next year so maybe that’s what that means. We don’t get our money tied up in a Duren or Kessler and have a shot at Jokic. We shall see.

    This is the exact offseason I’m hoping for. I’m not interested in a ridiculous overpay for centers who are only slightly better than Ayton. I’d like to see Vando and DK moved on for depth because it’s obvious JJ doesn’t like them. Do these things and I’m an extremely happy camper.
