Trade & Free Agency 2026/2027

[DanSchwartzgan]

Should we view Ayo Dosunmu as high on Masai's wish list this summer? The Timberwolves could technically offer him and extension through June 30th -- 3yr/$52M (~$17M AAV).

I've forgotten some of the Sign and Trade rules, but I think the Wolves could do so with the Mavs and the TPE (~$21M), if they don't agree on an extension beforehand.

I was thinking something similar with Payton Watson.  S&T into our TPE for $21mm starting and sent them Naji.  Watson slots into the SF spot between Flagg and Christie/Burries.  You lose some creation but probably make up for it in 3's.  Denver probably gets the better player near term, but that isn't our concern.
