ROSTER TALK: Mavs favs for Vogel if no HC job exists. Kyrie handshake deal?

I also think it´s not that bad deal on a stand-alone analysis. Seen much much worse around here.

Then it is if fair to point out that their pre-Washington/Oubre extension guaranteed salary stands at only $84M next year (before Hayward expires), so it´s not like they would be saving a massive amount of money. The salary cap floor might be as high as $120M next year, so even if they land the #1 pick and extend Washingon/Oubre, they´ll probably not be able to materialize the full cap relief any trade might provide. Their incentive would be tank, gain draft assets and maximize capspace, so not matching with our offers.

But thanks for making me look at the KP trade again to compare with Hayward and realize that the Bertans contract runs through 2025. Jesus. We are paying Bertans/McGee 22M for DNPs for another three years. That would be a problem for good front offices with invested owners, let alone the Dallas Cheapskates.

Bertans is earning a little money tonight!
