Short drive so I didn't hear much, but he commented that the ability to free up cap space next summer with the expirings and TOs was not intentional. They didn't really have a plan powder and that they would have moved on Jones and Richardson regardless, it just turned out to give them (potentially) a lot of cap flexibility next summer.
So you can believe as much or as little of that as you want.
Interesting. Thanks for sharing that.
I can believe that they would have traded Curry for JRich even if Richardson wasn't expiring. He's a good player on a very reasonable contract (like Curry), and I can also see how they would be open to roster flexibility options beyond pure cap space. But I'm definitely not buying it beyond that, although I can appreciate that Cuban has enough sense to treat his players with respect.
