I don’t think it’s hard.
You trade PJW if you think you’re getting an upgrade over PJW … OR if you think you’re getting a shot at a major upgrade via the draft that’s worth the risk. I’m not worried about his salary given the current structure.
Klay and Naji are expiring anyway so they’ll likely be gone or used to do something else. That’s $27 mil.
I see this as year one of a three year turnaround project.
The ONLY player I’m confident will be on this roster when the team is ready to compete is Cooper Flagg. If some of the current guys are still around, awesome.
