I think most of us here don't like plan powder but MBT is still all-in on it. To me the way they have it both ways is by trying to turn picks and/or Wright/Jackson contracts into an impact player while also preserving the 2021 cap space. They will do that by either essentially swapping Wright's money for someone better or taking on a 1 yr deal.
Oladipo is the only plan powder compatible go-for-it-now move I can think of currently. I could also see a scenario whereby someone like Danny Green and Jae Crowder end up on the team (or other vets that are either on value deals or expiring contracts) with Wright leaving and thus MBT will also declare going for it now!
Hield, Gordon, Jrue and potentially other very good players on multi-year deals are very interesting but I would be truly shocked if one of those types arrive here that eat into that precious 2021 powder.
