Locke says if we don’t do anything within the first hour or so it’s cuz the trade market dried up on us. Mentioned the Zach Lowe Brooklyn Royce deal as a possibility… really kinda threw cold water on anything significant happening and did the old “we changed our coach which is basically like changing your whole team… so this isn’t running it back at all”.
Mentioned they could look to get off of Gays money as it didn’t work out and Rudy’s wasn’t really happy about it. If we have to attach assets I wouldn’t do it. I’d see if he will take a buyout and give back like the minimum amount for both years and then he can sign a min in LA I’m sure. You can waive and stretch the remaining amount and it isn’t that bad and helps with the tax or we get out of the tax.
