2023 NBA Free Agency Thread

The problem with this is the Heat don’t have 3 firsts available to trade. They can trade two and three pick swaps.

I think Miami was shopping Herro for picks.

Yeah, sounds like what Hollinger predicted. He got the number exactly right - 55M so I would guess the year by year numbers are correct too:

This would make Clarkson's contract very, very valuable as a trade asset. Maybe too valuable to give up though.

So is Clarkson tradable immediately
Seems to be some uncertainty

Not sure how the renegotiation and extension rules work with trades.

We should have the MLE, but I am not sure we will use it... Maybe if we make some sort of trade?

Think so. We're at 15, so would need to consolidate else waiving someone.

We’d have the room exception of 7.7M. We can have up to 20 players under contract… roster doesn’t have to go to 15 until season starts. Could waive Carey or Luka too. We don’t need to yet.

Think people are focusing too much on the roster spots. Simone/Luka could be gone at a moments notice if we want to use our room exception. It costs Ryan real money out of his pocket so I wouldn’t expect it, but the best use of the room exception would be to get some kind of non-guaranteed/future team option deal….even if it’s an overpay year 1.

Not even Simone, Carey or Samanic have non-guaranteed contracts. Doesn’t cost Ryan any money.

It costs actual money to pay someone the room exception is what I mean.

Got ya, is there anyone out there’s we’d want to sign at the moment?

That’s a good question, I was just came back from hiking a mountain so I’m still catching up on everything. I missed a lot of news in that one day haha.

I think it gets interesting once other moves are made. For example, if we trade two of our rotation guys for one and that opens up a spot for someone else we can get with the room exception. Maybe we wait on Lowry to get traded/bought out and we give him the full room MLE to be our starting PG next year.

I think if you can nab someone for the room exception that projects to be a good value on a 1+1 contract… if not I think we do end up making a trade. You’d want to finalize the JC extension first just in case you took a bit more salary in.

Not looking at a list I think Oubre might be the best candidate for something like that.

Does Oubre want to get on a roster where he isn't a starter though?
