Trade & FA 2024-25:

[DanSchwartzgan]

In my roster building plan, I think I would target a PG making Hardy-Martin money. Not KD. 

I have always wished for KD. But as good as KD is, he's almost aged out. And his contract is too big. 

I think the sweet spot for contracts is players like Gaff, Klay, PJW in the MLE or so area. That's where I want to target.

I might have said Martin + Hardy combined money for a new PG through a trade...in other words, someone making under $15mm.  But, I could also see running it back with Exum and/or SD (or replacing one or the other using the NTMLE).  BTW, it doesn't have to be a PG per se.  It could be a forward who can create for himself more than some of the guys we have.  I kind of thought Cam Johnson or De'Andre Hunter (before the trade) might be an option if we were going to consolidate some.

I completely agree on being out on KD.  Don't see a path anyway.

It wouldn't hurt my feelings if we kept our pick to add someone else on the Lively/Max Christie timeline

I liked your idea about signing Kessler Edwards when we have the room to do it.
