I don’t think they‘ll bid for him, but having him coming from the bench as a scoring option for the Miami Heat next to Bam Adebayo would have helped them tremendously in these finals, wouldn’t it?
Yeah. Unlike Dallas, they have the defensive infrastructure to handle that. I think Cleveland makes sense also. Miami probably has bigger fish to fry (and would struggle to take in a S&T player). I think you are onto the right kind of situation (which is what I said all season and which is what Wood apparently wants no part of).
Was curious which players complimented Luka and Kyrie best post trade last season (small sample size warning).
THJ. +14.3
DP. +7.5
Green +2.6
Maxi. +1.0
Reggie +0.2
Wood. -14.8
Are we really sure we want to get rid of THJ and Powell?
On the salary front, I’ve been carrying Powell as $7.0mm on my spreadsheet. I don’t know who pays him $10mm/year, but I can see someone paying the $7mm MLE. If he needs to be more than that, maybe you give him a partially guaranteed 3rd year that you don’t intend to exercise that raises the average over the course of the two years he plays. I think the ‘Powell Vet Min’ idea is a pipe dream.
