2021-2022 ROSTER TALK: [ARCHIVED]

Why are you guys so emphatic on moving Brunson vs. moving THJ or other pieces to make room for Brunson's new salary? 

Brunson is far more consistent than THJ and in terms of production value, Brunson is more deserving of that salary cap percentage.

I guess it comes down to preferences. Lets try to illustrate with two examples. I imagine equal examples of the two principles how to stay under the tax next season are:
- your case: dump Kleber and Powell to save for Brunson contract in the summer (alternatively trade Kleber and Powell for expiring contract at TDL or trade THJ for expiring contract at TDL)
- my case: trade Brunson and Powell for Wood, keep Kleber (please note this is just an example to illustrate possibility)

In your case we keep the secondary creator but we need a big wing and are very thin at center (WCS is also gone or vet min). The only capable big is KP. 
In my case we really lack secondary creator, something that was a position of need as it was. Although we lose two centers (Powell and WCS) we have a really strong big rotation with Wood, KP and Maxi.

I guess none of the options is really great. Lets hope Cuban is willing to pay the tax
