Trade & FA 2024-25:

[F Gump]

Those are all valid concerns, but Bogi when healthy is a great combo guard off the bench. Further Bogi has a 17mil team option for next year so it’s a potential get out of jail free card and frees up some space. His contract number is a good one to pair with other guys to get a bigger name as well. Lots of avenues.

" Bogi when healthy is a great combo guard off the bench " -- Those days seem to be completely in the past. He's very meh now.
" Bogi has a 17mil team option for next year so it’s a potential get out of jail free card " - No. Bogi has another year of guaranteed salary, and the team option is not until 2026-27. Somebody will be stuck with him when the music stops, and I don't want to be the one.
" His contract number is a good one to pair with other guys to get a bigger name as well. " -- Junk making 17M is not a good trade chip - no one is hoping for that guy. More than that, with the hard cap world, you really don't need a way to get those higher priced players in the 20s and 30s, because you don't really have room for them clogging your limited payroll. There hasn't really been a player that has been available, that we wished we had a higher priced contract to put in a package to get them. We want the useful guys with smaller salaries.

One idle note. I think when it comes to roster building and trades, the magic number for a roster is going to be MLE. Those guys, if they can play, will be easy to trade match and easy to move in a trade. Teams can even use an MLE to trade for them. That's going to be the sweet spot, MLE or below, and where you want your salaries to land.
