Quote:The Kings are becoming “increasingly comfortable” with the idea of hanging onto the No. 4 pick and drafting a prospect there, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports in his latest Inside Pass column. Although Sacramento has entertained the idea of moving back or trading out of the lottery, the team’s asking price is said to be significant.

Quote:Rival executives believe restricted free agent Miles Bridges will command a maximum-salary contract or something close to it, and Charania’s sources believe the Hornets may be hesitant to match an offer sheet worth the max.

Quote:The Pacers continue to seriously consider trade possibilities involving Myles Turner and Malcolm Brogdon, according to Charania, who says the the Hornets have shown interest in Turner and the Wizards and Knicks are interested in Brogdon. Even if they move one or both players, the Pacers may opt to simply retool their “veteran core” rather than engaging in an all-out rebuild, Charania notes.

So we’re already in money saving mode or why would they not use the TPE. Meh.

I am sure the Mavs sniffed around on Collins, Gobert, Turner, etc.  But I am glad they moved quickly, rather than waiting on one of the others with an offer that was less ideal.  They are in a much better spot not.  Collins and Turner are better players, but they are also going to be very difficult for the Mavs to secure.  The fear is they kept waiting to get into the game with any of them only to be left holding a bag of nothing again.

The roster isn't perfect.  There are areas to improve.   But maybe we keep most of our bigger contracts and look to make a move at the trading deadline.  By then Bertans will still be a negative value, but not as much as now.   

Iztok had an article today that was good as well.

Because 1. no gettable player for the TPE moves the needle nearly as much as Wood, and 2. Dallas will be even less interested in adding long-term salary with the prospect of needing to re-sign Brunson this summer and Wood next summer. (My observation, not Stein's.)
