Probably their last grasp to make it a competitive team under Lebron and that is a pretty long shot. Even if they don't sign a FA, they could also use that money to trade for a player.
I just don't think those players move the needle enough for them to give up that flexibility this offseason.
With the trade for Rui and the intention of re-signing him, they actually don’t have much flexibility. The Rui trade indicates to me they are likely to move Russ+ picks package to get players they want now.
