He's mentioned Indy and Dallas as reported suitors for Grant Williams
He's mentioned Barnes would likely be interested in a return to Dallas (Indy has shown interest there too).
Most probably missed this, but FG made mention that in 23/24 (when last nights trades become final), the trade matching rules are not 125%. They are 110% for teams over the first apron and 200% or $7.5mm for everyone else. If there is anyone out there (besides me) looking for ways to expand the Bertans/Holmes deal, please bear this in mind. Below is a quote from FG in the "New CBA" thread:
"2 There are significant hits to team flexibility by being over over the FIRST apron. In a trade, they get 110% matching for 2023-24 season, but then it's 100% (no multiplier) in future years. Everyone else gets 200% rather than the prior 175% (NOTE - that is limited by the $5M spread as before, except it's been increased to 7.5M and will now inflate with future cap growth)"
Definitely feels like Indy is our major competition when it comes to getting wing help this offseason. Jake Fischer mentioned Jonathan Kuminga was offered to Indy for the 7th pick and they turned it down. Wonder if he's a name we're monitoring as well, I know that would probably make Killer pretty happy.
