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

[ThisIStheYear]

The goal right now should be to shed the roster of AD, Kyrie, and Gaff bringing back almost entirely expiring contracts and picks, even second round picks. Hell, even the picks would be gravy, just get payroll down as low as possible, lose as many games as you can, and try to set yourself up for one good free agent acquisition. AD, Kyrie, and Gaff are irrelevant to the future of the team and serve only as progress stoppers at this point. I’d also shut Flagg down at some point, like in Luka’s rookie year, if he was the clear ROY, like Luka was.
