If Toronto gets Ball over the cap, they also have the MLE to add someone like Theis. I think that makes more sense for them than $18mm for Holmes. The wild card is still Siakam.
Let's say Dinwiddie to Washington, Paul stays in Phoenix and Conley stays in Utah. The secondary creator market is getting thin.
Yep, and the Knicks have a ton of cap room. What is their plan? They had a weird first round imo but really liked their second round picks. Are they going to go big with someone with their cap room. Who? And lets not forget about Miami. When they decide they want someone, they typically bat a good percentage. They have been a little quiet on Lowry recently and you have seen them mentioned with Simmons. But they may still get in the Lowry talks. It is tough to beat Miami.
