If/when we add a star at full price, we're gonna need exactly these kinds of players on exactly these kinds of deals. Trade block can include the dudes with dollars owed (THJ, Lee, Powell, even Curry). But our bargain contributors should be available only to secure a primo guy like Beal. Does Myles Turner fit into that category? No. He’s the 4th best player on an average team. Neither does OJP or TT or TY. We have a trade exception and a fat expiring available for that kind of piece. If it’s not enough, so be it.
At least that’s how I see it. On the other hand, 2 weeks ago I was desperate to dump THJ for nothing. So consider the source.
You need to include Delon in that initial group - as the headliner.
