This is insane at this stage of Hardens career.

Yeah, such a weird spot because he is obviously still a great player who can help you win a ton of games, but he is a guaranteed choke job in the playoffs
Plus he would still be making $50 million at 36 and 37 years old.

This is where you force Austin to make a decision before the Kyrie thing is settled. lakers really can’t offer Kyrie something competitive unless he risks hitting FA next year again. I think they can carve like 25ish million. Unless the mavs wanna play nice and do a sign and trade.
Either way… if they actually think they can get Kyrie as soon as you offer Reaves a deal then his caphold jumps and they have to pick. Throw 100M in front of him and tell him now or never. Then it’s Ky or Austin.

The Lakers pursuit of Kyrie and wanting cap space always made me laugh because it’s actually better for them to have Conleys deal to do a sign and trade instead. You could throw Conley, Vando, and a pick at Dallas. Now you need to hope they want Russell on like a minimum 3 year deal (for sign and trades it has to be 2-3)… good luck with that.

I'd probably do that if I was the Suns. Ayton does not care about basketball at all.

For the Suns that might be as good as they can do… can likely flip the 10th pick for something good. Not sure it’s the answer for Dallas but that seems doomed for failure.
