Not nothing. They still had to pay Paul, Galo, Muscala and Shamet lmao. It's not like they saved any money this summer. Next few years? Yes. But like I said, extend kuz and zigis now and they can still trade them by next year's trade deadline and save themselves a ton, plus a ton of first round picks.
You read that like a five-year-old's crayon drawing on the fridge sir. That, and them drafting Dick to just go Neener-neener to everyone.
They moved on. Their new GM gets to make his own team. If they did what you want, they'd be stuck in mediocrity for another 3 years.
Except they are not? We gave Rudy the Supermax in December 2020 and are we stuck in mediocrity for three years? You can actually trade the guy after his extension. It's not rocket science
Okay, but, did you read what I just wrote? I get what you mean but in the end they have been holding their teams hostage. And because they stuck around long enough to get super duper max extensions their trade return value is suboptimal.
Utah got extremely lucky they found a sucker at the right moment. That has passed. If youre operating in catch up mode you are going to fail.
You mean maximum? Cuz if they extend Zingis and kuz the last thing they need to worry about is the cap minimum lol.
We need to remember that Rudy did have other rumored suitors (Chicago, Dallas made sense on paper, etc.). We just played them off each other until we got the Minne deal.
Yes we got lucky because we also gave Rudy the supermax. Are Kuz and Zingis gonna get supermax? If you can trade a guy with supermax, there's no reason you can't trade Kuz & Zingis with just regular max dollar in exchange for positive assets.
Rudy was a 3x DPOY with multiple all-star and his team won.
