Devil's Advocate (your way might have been better). 

I think this signals that they are (and more importantly, want to be) DONE with the cap room approach for a while. Otherwise, I think they do exactly what you said: let him expire and probably line up some other expiring deals to coincide. 

I think they believe they can transition these players into other players much more easily than they could've done with Porzingis.

Agree with this assessment.  The biggest thing I take from it is Nico just said “this is my team and I’m taking out the junk that was left behind by my predecessor.”  I can appreciate that “fresh start” approach even if I think he is going about it the wrong way.
