If I heard correctly, there is a path to some significant money. I wouldn’t want them to use that money on FAs. Instead use it in trades to lower teams payroll immediately, like Det did for NYK last season. Gafford for McGee and a SRP or 2 is the type of deal I’m thinking about. Saves Wash money to be able to feel comfortable with resigning Kuz and extending KP maybe?
If we do stuff like that and only chip away at the money as opposed to using it for 1 player, that is a path to utilizing the cap space to getting multiple players.
Ehh maybe a trade for someone like Siakam could change some things but otherwise I don't know if Luka would last another full season here if Kyrie walks. And I would not blame him
