Also kind of makes room for Lonzo.
Kind of a basic move. We had a log jam of smallish, mid to bad shooting point guards with Smart, Vincent, Bronny, and Smith. We lacked some depth...
Idk man its alright I guess. Kennard is a solid back up SG and lights out shooter. Upgrade over Knecht. We also reduce salary by 500k, so now...

Trade optionality this Summer > 2026 Free Agents
They are still trying to compete. That's why Rui would be perfect for them. They could just renounce him after the season and get under the 2nd...
His contract would be expiring though.
Well, the report doesn't mention draft capital coming from the Cavs, so I understand why you would feel that way. Lets assume the Lakers don't get...
