2021 FREE AGENCY: Markkanen wants out of CHI | DAL "definitely interested"

If they do that, they'll be helping SAC keep your boy Holmes, right?

Now that we know Holmes is looking at around 60/4, would the difference between say THJ starting salary and Hield $22.5M be enough to bridge that gap?



So the full trade might be

Bagley 11.3 + Hield 22.5 = 33.8

for

THJ 16.5 (starting salary) + Powell 11.1 = 27.6

Difference of 6.2 allows Kings to retain Holmes.

Gosh I´d love that deal so much. And the Kings even have some use for Powell as a back-up given how thin their frontcourt is.

Okay more realistically it would be Kleber, but I´d still do it. Then I´d ask for a 2nd round pick thrown in. Maybe Mavs like Woodward or Ramsey.
