Trade & Free Agency 2026/2027

[DanSchwartzgan]

Caruso+Wallace for PJ saves them $7.2M. But probably cost several FRP’s.

Given the three years he has left vs. Dort's one year, Caruso + Wallace makes more sense than Dort + Wallace from the OKC standpoint.  As has been pointed out, they have 16 guys, so a 2 for 1 makes sense as does PJ positionally.  

To me, Wallace has always been the dream.  Some don't think it possible, while FG doesn't want to be hung with what he wants for an extension.  I love the youth movement of Wallace, Christie, Flagg, Morez and Lively.  Wallace in an expanded role is going to be better than people realize.  LAL 2029 plus the GSW fake first?
