Trade & FA 2024-25:

That’s actually pretty big news. Dinwiddie, Lowry, DSJ are all options I’d guess.

I may have to amend my “we are done” statement.  If you want to marry this with the idea that Morris is returning, the most likely change isn’t Maxi or Powell, it is Exum.  He’s guaranteed now (or I haven’t seen anything that says he amended his deadline).  I would think he would be easy enough to move (maybe even getting a second back).  If we need more pure point play, and need room for a 14th and 15th minimum, that is probably the way they’d do it.

Exum could also be traded for a PG making up to about $4.5mm (we have about $1.5mm of space under the apron with 14 and a cushion).  Or, he could be traded for air (as above) and we could use an exception to bring in a PG and keep Morris as #14.

I guess my question is whether any of these guys being considered is really better than Exum.
