And I'm not sure if thats true.

East looks like Boston and Bucks despite some struggles recently.    Nets are tbd for me currently.  

Besides the Clippers, I am not sure anyone else can join this group.

He is a really intriguing prospect.  It will be interesting what Portland does this offseason.  Re-sign Grant?  What do they do with Hart?  I think there is some thought they might not want to be a luxury tax team.   

Hart has his faults, but he is a guy I would love to have on the Mavs.    Always been one of my sneaky favorites....although he has been pretty bad against the Mavs this year.

THJ + McGee to the Wolves
Isaac to the Mavs

I don't know when the appropriate time to do that would be, because I haven't looked at the contract. But, I think his career is over. I think he's Tariq Abdul Wahad.

Waived before Jan 10th 2023: $16M to Isaac
Waived before Jan 10th 2024: $25M to Isaac (full 2022/2023 salary + partial guarantee 2023/2024)
Waived before Jan 10th 2025: $34.8M to Isaac (full 2022/2023 + 2023/2024 salary)
Not waived al all: $52.2M to Isaac (full contract)

If Isaac also receives the partial guarantee for 2023/2024, if waived before Jan. 10th this year, then the incentive to waive him now is really low for the Magic. Would be just $1.4M in savings.

Because if that's the case, we might see that play out soon, imo.
