Trade & FA 2025-26: Free Agency Starts 5pm CST/6pm EST

We need the roster spots and cap flexibility, so we can re-sign Exum and Dwight Powell to help us win next year, cause we have no capspace to make any major moves. Or you talking about using an exception to get another winning player like DAR.

We need to draft the BPAs and do it as close to Flagg´s timeline as possible. A pick in the #15-20 range in this draft will likely be better than a pick in the #6-#15 range in the next draft. Furthermore there is a high probability we can get the Cavs pick unprotected, cause nobody ultimately expects the Cavs to miss the play-offs and if they do the odds for top 4 will be under < 5%. Nevertheless they are currently the #8 seed and only two games ahead of the 10th seed, that we are trying to significantly strengthen.

What happens to that Cleveland pick if Utah ends up outside the top 8?
