- GSW
- BKN (more as a PF option, but can play next to Claxton or when he is on the bench)
- LAC
- LAL
- Tor

Here are some options, looking from the summer perspective:
- Chicago (they might trade Vuc or he can walk in the summer - they will have cap space if Vuc and White are gone without additional salary)
- Cha
- Ind (pending on Turners future)
- LAL
- Tor (they still need a center and there are scenarios where they could have cap space in the summer)

(01-28-2023, 01:09 PM)DanSchwartzgan Wrote: I don’t see LAL at all, starter or bench.  Bryant is playing well and there is AD, Lebron and now Hachimura.

(01-28-2023, 01:09 PM)DanSchwartzgan Wrote: he’d definitely come off the bench for Golden State (and I’m not sure his D would be welcomed there even off the bench)

(01-28-2023, 01:36 PM)omahen Wrote: Another move is not needed, if they do it at TDL. They can trade for him using Trent salary directly or three way. Both Trent and FVV can walk in the summer and Toronto would have cap space in this scenario.

(01-28-2023, 02:19 PM)DanSchwartzgan Wrote: I think one of the more fascinating things to see is whether Dallas wants any part of a Klutch client.  I’ve not seen any real evidence of that historically, but this is a new regime.  Same goes regarding CAA following the Brunson situation.  We went a decade after Nash before we did anything significant with Duffy.  Were bridges burned with CAA, or was Nico successful in helping Mark stay at the grown-up table?

At the same time, I’ve not seen any real evidence that Dallas with Nico is still interested in Schwartz guys.  In fact, he’s so new that it is hard to discern any agent pattern.  Add to the uncertainty the fact we don’t really know if he was pulling the strings in the summer of 21.  We don’t have to have favorite agents or agents we don’t really like.  Maybe that is even preferable.  But, it isn’t what we’ve done historically.  I’ll believe we are going to put ourselves in position to lose a Klutch client for nothing when I see it.

(01-28-2023, 02:23 PM)omahen Wrote: Klutch is representing "half of league", so it would be very bad business to not deal with them. However in this case of Toronto, most scenarios probably doesn't have us getting one. We don't need Trent, so if Toronto would be after Wood, that would likely be a three way deal.

(01-28-2023, 05:21 PM)DanSchwartzgan Wrote: So, presumably $20mm per year for 3 years beyond this one.  BUT, $17mm is paid in 22/23, which leaves $43mm to be divided over 3 years or $14.33mm AAV.  Could be even, escalating or declining.

I believe $17mm now gets them $2mm over the minimum for the season.  They are also a bit over $10mm in remaining cap room.  So, if they were to trade for someone like Collins, they would need to send out about $13mm in salary to do the deal based on cap room.

If Collins were to happen, I think Theis and Bitadze gets the money right.  We’d need to see the exact deal for Turner, but McConnell and Bitadze might get there also.

Edit:  One interesting aspect of this is it informs the market for Poeltl and Wood.  The three aren’t perfect comparables because their games are very different.  But they are positionally similar.
