this is a cap move Micic is NG I believe or is headed over to Europe. This is part of clearing cap for the Turner deal.

Ok, that makes more sense then.

I cant believe they've waived Dame

I like Turner... I really do. Moving heaven and earth to pair him with Giannis is rough. I think they keep Giannis happy for one more year and he bounces. Bet they preferred nuking their cap over giving up another pick... if they do that too... yowzas.

Im so ****ing confused.

Could the Kings not have traded for Sexton? He's 10x the player Schroeder is for like a million dollars more? How does Ty Jerome get less than Schroeder?

Appears to me Klutch/Sexton wanted Charlotte. He's from that part of the country too (actually Georgia).
Klutch/Clarkson wanted the Knicks.
The Jazz made it happen for them both. That is the most reasonable explanation I can come up with.

There's never any explaining what the Kings do though.

So the Jazz getting Nurkic might turn out to be a smart move

It has been obvious since the trade that big men are in more demand than small guards. It might be that Austin Ainge knows the market better than the geniuses at Jazzfanz.

Or it could be blind luck, who knows?

Uh oh, have the pacers joined in tank as well?

Kings are just Kangzing right now!!!! Trying to give up Monk for Schroeder on a sign and trade and then paying him that... while having a meh team... that also employs Ellis and Carter... and Lavine and Derozan (for now). Like Schroeder is more PG than Sexton but the quality of player is just so different lol.

Kings are on the everyday call list... Kings, Pels might need to be every hour.

I think it may have been hard for the money to work on a trade.

Im just shocked. Schroeder played like a minimum contract player last year. Im guessing the last year is a team option (hoping for their sake). But even that's insane. He should have gotten 2/10 at the most.

Kinda crazy how these recent Finals teams Boston and Indy could potentially be tank teams next season due to the new CBA and injuries.

Its just weird when like both Jones brothers are better bets to fit on a team and not be assholes in the locker room. Schroeder in a contract year in a limited amount can be pretty good. Every team that signs him long term has regretted it... and playoffs obviously way out weighed things.

How are small guards who are good like Monk and Sexton not worth much but teams paying Schroeder... Kings.

Can you trade dead money down the line? I forget. Could the Bucks hypothetically dump the contract dues for the final two years in three years?

No, you can`t get off this money any other way than just eating it yourself.
