If they don't want to lose him for nothing you could send Barnes back. Edited June 18, 2022 by NYRaider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I’ve read they can, would need to clear some space and it would be the end of their roster building. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holmes would be gone so fast if I was in charge. Kings front court could be solid with Miles, Sabonis, Lyles and Jones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can afford to do it, just becomes a matter of if they value him that highly. They can always clear a ton of cap space by moving Hayward and/or Rozier for expiring deals. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a small market team though it's so hard to find talent and Bridges has improved every year. I'd assume they want to build around Ball/Bridges.

IIRC they were rumored to be interested in a Westbrook for Rozier/Hayward swap so that they could afford to pay Ball/Bridges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't need to do that to afford Bridges. If they did that, they'd get significantly worse WITH Bridges. Rozier is a better player than Westbrook at this point. Oubre's money falls off after next year and then Hayward's the year after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually you're correct because LaMelo's extension won't even start until Hayward's deal is off the books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have plenty of flexibility. If Mike's already using the Hayward/Rozier contracts as an excuse, there's a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
