The goal right now is to keep Luka happy and thinking he can win here. We only have 2 or 3 seasons before this potentially comes to a head. Its not like we could trade those picks anytime soon because our only useful ballast would be the bad contracts we just ate.Creativity doesn’t narrow down to one thing like you just did.
Detroit just used capspace to get 3 expiring contracts for a pick swap and 6 seconds. The worse the contract, the better the return.
SA didn’t worry much about the player contract, they worried about the number of picks.
OKC has gathered 2 superstars (if not more) worth of picks by being creative.
