Might agree with you on Dinwiddie but... If summer of '24 is the FA bonanza then getting off that money is a sign of long term planning rather than reactionary fixes to roster building.
Well, agreed you get something out of Wood if you can't sign him, but WTF if we can't sign him? Paying him the max allowed is still a bargain.
Ya, I trust cap space and FAs flocking here like I trust Trump to store my important documents. When has dry powder and be FA signing EVER work here?
Again, look at Milwaukee...
Giannis - Drafted
Middleton - Trade from Heaven
Holiday - Great Trade
Lopez - FA Signing
You'll get Lopez like FA signings If you build an outstanding core of Luka (drafted), Wood (Trade from Heaven), and Din (great trade). Add Green to that and you have this core:
Point - Luka, NEED
Guard - Dinwiddie, THJ
Guard - Green, Hardy
Forward - NEED, Maxi
Center - Wood, Powell
DFS, Frank, 2 FRPs for OG.
Bullock, 1 FRP for Quickley, Reddish, Sims
Point - Luka, Quickley
Guard - Din, THJ
Guard - Green, Hardy
Forward - OG, Maxi, Reddish
Center - Wood, Powell, Sims
