Trade & FA 2025-26: Free Agency Starts 5pm CST/6pm EST

[KillerLeft]

Williams' contract is non-guaranteed, with some dates when parts of it become guaranteed. Here's what AI has to offer:

The partial guarantees are as follows:
July 7, 2025: A partial guarantee of $200,000 becomes effective.
Start of the 2025-26 Season: The partial guarantee increases to $850,000 if he remains on the roster.
The contract would become fully guaranteed later in the season, specifically on January 10, 2026.

At this point, I wonder if they are considering a path where they just cut him and get a minimum player they like better. I know we're all big fans of his potential around here, and maybe they are, too. But, my gut tells me Exum would help more (if he can stay healthy).

I suppose alternatively, they could just put the kibosh on all this DLo talk and sign Exum for the minimum to take the role they'd offer DLo, but something tells me the idea of signing a guy from the list we've been reading was part of the pitch to get Kyrie to take the deal he did, so I doubt that's an option they're considering.

I can't wait to see how they handle all of this.
