I think you also get a small gift from Russ when you buy him out. Tell him you will buy him out immediately if he gives back a minimum salary amount and he is free to go wherever he wants. If he says no then tell him you will keep him on the roster the rest of the season... even if he gives back like 1M it gives you some space and he will make it all back.
They're also reportedly interested in SiakamDinwiddie/Harris for FVV/Trent Jr. with Brooklyn sending the Dallas pick is my guess.
They owe Houston all their picks until '27 (FRP in '24 and '26, swaps in '25 and '27). They have the Mavs pick now, of course, but I think they only have one additional pick to sell (plus swap this year and 28 or 29).DFS / Cam Thomas / Dinwiddie / 2 or 3 FRP for OG / FVV
I feel like anytime you see this kind of news it's already not happening. Like people learn about these deals after they have fallen through. I actually get less excited we see stuff for the Jazz like last week for different teams wanting Vando. When the trade comes it's gonna just drop out of nowhere. The hit rate on these 'exploring the possibility' trade tweets has got to be 0% or lower.
when Woj sends the tweet about "hey this deal ain't done and Toronto is having convos" you can be assured that **** about to go down. Its a way of claiming it first... Shams fingers getting faster so the old dog had to pull out this trick.I feel like anytime you see this kind of news it's already not happening.
