They were also trying to determine how CP could end up with LAL after all these years. One scenario was for him to opt into his $44M then get traded, almost a sign and trade deal. PHX would get Schroeder and others back.
A question I have is whether an opt in was tradeable. I thought there was some trade protections on that type of deal.
Isn't the most obvious scenario CP3 just stays with Phoenix? He wanted to be there and the team is 2nd in the West. Why not just opt into 44 mil and give it another go?
