Tickets to this game were my son's Christmas present. If he's implying that the moves we made move the needle on this, I have no idea what it was he thinks he learned from this game.

Totally makes sense to spend both your best cap resource and draft resource on the base of a single game. Totally!

If there's a mid-season Mike trade, it would be really stupid to not have done an off-season Mike trade. I can imagine it now... we trade Mike in a straight salary dump, and all the "don't trade Mike for OPJ" guys will, now with half a season of good OPJ play and health, be saying "u couldn't get OPJ for Mike, lol he's having a great year, this move is as good as any move we could get."

My thoughts exactly but a mid season trade does give the front office some really good excuses for underperforming this year so that’s good news.

My guess is if there is no Rudy extension he is moved and we can duck the tax... or we just go for it and Rudy and Mike walk at year end... this we pay tax this year but no repeater tax because now Rudy and Mike are off the books.

If there is a Rudy extension there will be a follow up move preseason or in season where we move a guy like Mike. There has been a lot of talk about DM shifting to pg. The narrative will be something around he’s ready now and that is why the timing of the trade happened when it did.

NY is still under the cap and we could do a 1 for 2 type of deal.

There are routes but it involves trading one of their rotation players. So which one of Rudy, Bojan, Favs (after he just got here), Mike, Royce, JC, Joe is he gonna move?

My guess is there is a mid season Mike trade.

The only thing I like more than Mountain Mike is Mid-season Mike (trade).

At this point.

Is this necessarily the case?

How much salary is guaranteed for Niang, NWG, Oni, Morgan and Brantley? When/is there a guarantee date on their contracts?

"We realized we needed a wing defender."

- DL circa summer 2021.

“Well, there’s no doubt that Joe and Bojan are critical pieces to what we’re trying to accomplish, but Father Time is undefeated as they say and their contracts are coming up. So you take the first thing, that we need a strong, physical defensive presence, and you realize you should probably be developing a player that can make plays on the other side of the floor. So that’s the challenge, guuuys, is how to get those things after ownership has shown such an incredible commitment to putting a winning product on the floor every year, which of course means making tough decisions regarding draft capital moving forward. Part of what makes us comfortable in sacrificing those assets is that we feel we already have those players. You look at Elijah Hughes who is just so smooth with the ball, you look at Jarrell Brantley who puts in the work and has this just incredible physique to go with a really exciting skill set. So we’re excited to come into the season and show the world the talent this organization has invested in and committed to.”
