    So instead of getting Hayward as a cap dump, we got Kemba.

    Also, if we come out of all this minus bum Grant, and plus Ivey, Duren, and we get Ayton...that's a 500 foot home run.

    What do his salary numbers say? If a team friendly deal is possible, nice to have his scoring off the bench

    If I'm reading it all correctly...

    We basically traded Jerami Grant for Kemba Walker, Jalen Duren, a 2nd round pick swap this year, and two more 2nd rounders in the Portland deal.

    Kemba has one year left on his deal at just over $9M, and this eats into our cap space by about $11-12M (when you include Duren's salary for next year). Still leaves us with max-ish space if we want it. I have no clue what this means for Ayton.

    This seems great on the surface. Kemba for 1/9 is much better than Heyward for 2/30. Not sure what the Knicks are thinking

    Ya if Bagley is smart he takes a moderate mid level deal and carves out a roll as the 6th-7th man on a team on the rise.

    Wrote this in the draft thread, but this all makes more sense if our big play on July 1 is for Miles Bridges and not Ayton. And a team with Ivey, Bridges and Duren would be insane athletically.

    We have a team option on Diallo for around $5M. I wonder if he ends up getting dropped to make sure we have the space to give a max deal.

    If not, he's on that level, too.

    He would have been higher on my big board if we didn't have Stew/weren't rumored to get Ayton. I'm just not ready to give up on Stewart. But I'm totally cool with collecting young talent.

    I would think Ayton is off the table with the Duran pick, unless we flip him in a S&T.

    I haven't seen anything about what Charlotte is getting. I'm assuming they got more than the Milwaukee pick from NYK.
