Trade & Free Agency 2026/2027

How about PJ for Wiggins and Joe ($20.5mm combined vs $19.8mm for PJ) and #12.  It saves OKC about $6.5mm

That's a lot closer to what I think is more in line with reality. I don't see them trading Wallace, period. Wiggins and Joe are by far the most likely to be traded IMO. 

It doesn't solve much for them though. $6.5M isn't nothing, but still a long way to go for them to skirt A2. 

This trade is legal on draft night, but the new league year would require the Thunder get under A2 for salary aggregation. Something to keep in mind.

They could just as easily save $5.97M (#12 slot) by trading it for a future first. They'll need to love PJW. I'd do it from the Mavs side. And I love PJW...
