Seems like that is where this headed.
Why? If JRich opts in, they will still have roughly 22 mil in cap space. They can sign a 4/100 contract with that space. That leaves just about every big free agent in play. If its Kawhi or a max for Collins, they can probably send JRich in the trade (if not for Collins it will probably be Maxi, so they still have space). I don't think a JRich opt in has much impact at all on going after the big piece. He might even be useful for salary matching purposes. It may impact what the do for the second piece, but my guess is if they want to go after a player with cap, then can probably dump JRich for a second.
