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

[Smitty]

Man I hate the idea of giving up Naji just to salary dump another contract.  I would much rather send out Klay for hopefully a small asset and expiring to address the cap concerns.  Then they can focus on creating a better fitting roster and accumulating younger players and assets.  Given that AD and Livey will likely both be on this roster next season, Gafford would be top on my list for this.  Naji is a good candidate for this too.

I get it with Naji. I use him because his fit with Flagg isn’t the greatest and he’ll want to get paid more than his $9.4M. Does anyone want to give Naji 14M or so the next 3-4 years at ages 30-33 when his fit with Flagg is less than ideal?

I’m not saying it’s the only move I’d make, just something I’d have to consider. Getting off Martin’s deal is not nothing…
