Hmmm.....

Must be incredibly frustrting for Kidd if Exum is out with an injury.  Again who knows, but it may be he just doesn't have the body to play consistently in the NBA.

Exum must have something HIPAA related they can't talk about. Feels a lot like the WCS absences back around 2020. 

I guess he's guaranteed regardless? I'm really getting down on Exum (availability), Martin (fit?) and Hardy (regression).

Exum is on a 1-yr deal for ~$2.3MM, so that makes it frustrating, but bearable.

Martin is guaranteed this season and next at ~$10MM each with a PO for the 27-28 season, which he'll probably take unless his performance radically improves. IMO, this trade may be more egregious than the Luka trade. 

Hardy is guaranteed this season and next at ~$6MM per with a TO for the 27-28 season. So he might, eventually, be moveable as an expiring.

Almost feels like $16MM/season in dead money. Of course, they may get thrown in as filler for a bigger deal. We can hope that anyway.
