Trade & Free Agency 2026/2027

[KillerLeft]

It's a better contract than Gafford's as its smaller (given inflation) and descending, and significantly less than PJs.  I'm surprised they did this, but I don't hate it.

I mean, they now have three guys (very niche guys, honestly) in that "north of the MLE but just south of $20 mil AAV" range that teams seem specifically not to want right now (unless they're expiring). Not one of those three is what I'd call a good fit with Flagg, and Marshall is probably the worst fit of the three. 

I'm trying to find a way to be positive about it, but I'm struggling. 

They got all this shooting over the summer, and should've, because Flagg needs space as the coach said recently, only...I'm starting to wonder if any of that shooting is going to be on the court enough for the team to actually play differently.
