It does factor in if we traded for like Dejounte Murray cuz we could offer an extension. There is also the weird dance we can do with JC where he opts in and we renegotiate and extend giving him like 25M this year and then like 15M the next two years to finesse future cap maneuverability.
 
Kris Middleton cray cray for turning down a 40 mil player option. Where he think he's gonna get more from? Damn... Bucks probably be doing cart wheels atm.

You think you know better? lol

He opted out while he was one year younger/not in a coffin. He's angling for a longer deal and his team has already been in talks with many parties (legally or illegally).
 
So (at least) two teams just dumped players central to their build before the draft has even happened... This is madness.

Wat? No, dude's just going to resign a longer deal to make up the cash while saving some tax space for the Bucks. Win/win.
 
For a long time, I’ve felt like using cap space to take on bad salary and draft assets was going to be the best use of that resource, but now I think it might be best to go after a player or two to add to the rotation -

Start off by giving a big offer to Austin Reaves day one and forcing LA to match it. When they do that, turn your focus to Kyle Kuzma or Jerami Grant. Depending on what happens with Clarkson, THT & Sexton, they could take a look at Naz Reid as well, but I imagine he’s going to want a starting job instead of being behind Kessler.

Ya I want to rush the rebuild lol. Im ready to win next season.
 
I'm good with trading for or signing a few folks, as long as it makes sense. Part of why I like Ainge doing this is his modus operandi isn't usually going after players past a certain expiration date unless there's a usefulness there. If no trades happen, I can accept that. We've a couple of good players already, so I can be patient. I just dislike making a trade just to make a splash.
