It just means we will potentially have to send out more assets. In less than a year we will have access to all of our picks. We can send out 3 or 4 if we have to, and contracts like Dinwiddie and Timmy can be used in such a trade. We don't have to wait until 2025 with plan powder.
Expiring contracts with no value (Dinwiddie, THJ types) plus picks is nowhere near enough for a star. Other teams have young players, recent draft picks to sweeten any deal. We literally have no attractive assets outside of Brunson.
