Trade & FA 2024-25:

[Jmaciscool]

Can't be said enough. Once DJJ is re-signed, the team is in the rarified airspace of "well, if that's all they can do, I still feel good about next season." I'm not sure how many times we've been able to say that before July in our collective history as fans. 

And, there ARE still moves, both in addition to and maybe even instead of DJJ that could potentially turn this solid, intimate party into a project X style rager.

Feels so much better.  

If the old regime were still in charge I imagine this would have been the plan:
1. Trade THJ + 2025 first for cap space
2. Use said cap space to try and lure "big fish" (Paul George/LeBron/ or any other star older than 33)
3. Wait (with cap space) on big fish's decision / simultaneously be used by agents as leverage for their clients to sign elsewhere
4. Watch DJJ sign elsewhere (still waiting for big fish to sign)
5. Eventually use cap space to sign a #3 guy to a #1 contract

Much better place now.
