Trade & FA 2024-25:

[DanSchwartzgan]

 
A guy if you want to take on risk and revisit is Andrew Wiggins, who is a two-way wing that can score 15-20 a night consistently. Only reason why he won't cost a lot of assets is solely because of GSW cap issues and the fact Wiggins takes nights off. 
 

As a Public Service Reminder, if we trade for Wiggins in July, we get hard capped if we take back more than 100% of outgoing.  Matching Wiggins at $26.3mm (or any other big name at big dollars) in July will be a challenge.  We also have to think of the other side of the deal.  IF GS takes back THJ/Maxi (to make the numbers stay under 100% of outgoing for us), we have to think about the apron situation of the other team.  There will be deals that work from one side and not the other if you try to deal with apron teams.  A whole new layer of complexity.

As I tried to explain above, June deals (within the limits outlined) may be easier, but we would likely pay tax and give up $12mm in tax distribution if we do that.  Of course, if we help someone lower or eliminate their payment, that might be part of the compensation to the deal.
