Trade & Free Agency 2026/2027

On the other chat thing they are talking about PJ to OKC for Cason Wallace.  I suspect Wiggins would balance out the salaries.  There is some thought 17 would be included, but I’m skeptical.  Wallace starting at PG with Wiggins as a bench defender feels more than fair already, but OKC does have to figure out roster slots.

Sign me up for Wallace over any of the guards at #9.  He impacts winning and is a defensive monster at the point of attack.  Extending him this summer would be an interesting exercise.  I like him with Flagg, Christie and Lively as the young core and you get to add someone playing other position at #9.  I’ve been high on the possibility of OKC needing to move on from Wallace before he gets paid in 27/28, but hadn’t thought of PJ as the outgoing.  I really like the idea.

I like Wallace a lot and would be on board trading him for PJ, but I think he is more of a combo guard than a point guard.  Not sure they still wouldn't be looking for a long term PG, but regardless I think they should take BPA at 9 regardless of position.
