So DAL is now sitting on 10 filled slots after this season?
If we sign Bagley, Middleton, Williams and #1 pick, this gets us to one open slot. AJ Johnson is a TO, so he's waivable, which would get us back to 13. But there are 2nd round picks looking for a slot and maybe even undrafted players, never mind FAs.
Which makes me think that, if the above happens, then at least one of PJ and/or Gaff is gone. Maybe you trade to get a need, like PG, maybe you trade for air and picks. If they keep Bagley, I think there is a lot less heartburn about trading Gaff. PJ still has a role, but Kris' better outside shooting could make him superfluous.
FWIW, pursuing an aging star like Giannis (or LBJ) doesn't interest me. It would take all the air out of the Flagg era with the added benefit of using up resources best spent elsewhere. (Think KP trade).
Anyone interested in throwing $20M+ at Austin Reaves this summer?
