What we know:
We are hard-capped because of the Williams S&T
We have $162.4 in committed salary to 14 players which is $10.9mm under the hard cap
Committed salary is also $2.8mm under the luxury tax.
We have not spent the MLE (we offered $10.5mm of it and held back $1.9mm of it)
The Reggie/G-Will trade is still open and can thus be added to.
At 14 players, a S/W of McGee does us no good as most of the $3.4mm in benefit is lost to replacing him with a $2.0mm minimum player.
Powell and Seth are not final yet
Holmes can’t be aggregated but can be traded by himself
What we think we know:
Stein tells us we still want to upgrade center
Various reporters tell us we want to move on from McGee and THJ
We wanted another Wing Defender as part of whatever grand plan we have in place since we made the offer to Thybulle.
We have the 2027 pick and apparently a couple of second rounders from the Reggie trade to SA that we can use in trades.
