2023 NBA Draft Megathread

Here's my random thought prediction that might be a bit of a hot take. JC opts in as we agree to move him to Dallas for Bertans and 10 (we send 16 too). He is from Texas... so there is that. He can do his bench scoring thing and sub in when guys are hurt.

I think with the new CBA some players and agents are on shaky ground... so an extension last year would have been below market... but he can extend his deal for a couple years and like 34M total-ish.

Maybe not this deal... but I think he ends up opting in and being moved somewhere he likes instead of going to FA.

Why does JC do this? You’re limited to 5% raises with an extend and trade.
 
I mentioned this in another thread, but a really unsexy trade I think works well is taking Gallinari’s salary into space and getting Pritchard and #35 in return. That would allow Boston to keep Grant Williams for at least a little bit.

There is going to be a prospect on the board at #35 that a lot of people like. At least one of GG, Sidy, Jacquez, AJJ, Strawther, Terq, Bailey, or Walsh will be there.
 
Even at 5%... his market may not be what he thought it would so a three year deal with 5% raises isn't the end of the world.

I think he’s saying he opts in and then extends with the new rules (up to 140% raises) and that this would be a handshake agreement holding the deal together until June 30th when the extension could occur.

Gotcha… I was just stating we couldn’t extend him for more than 5% raises if we were trading him. He could take the Bogey route and extend as soon as it’s possible in Dallas.

Right and I don't even think it would be tampering to basically agree ahead of time on an extension... even if it was it would be pretty easy to work around. I don't think JC gets some 4/80M deal so opting into 14 and getting like another 32M or so... in a market he wants to be... I think that would work.
