2026-27 Team Developments: Trades / Free Agents / News / Rumors / Ideas

Ayton, Lebron and understandable Van was the most unhappy with roles. Ayton was not going to be satisfied with a bench role.

 

No.

 

Rob gets a C so far this season for me. The only way I would give him an A is:
- IF had made the Sando/Grimes contracts 2 years + team option for year 3
- Gave Grimes half of what he actually got on a per year avearge ($6mil x 3 years)
- Re-signed Smart instead of Sexton for the same deal
- Re-signed Hayes for the minimum
- Uses the 2nds we just received to package to salary dump Knect+Hardy combo and uses the money saved to sign either Kuminga/Rui back

 

Spencer Jones is better than Kuminga.

Kuminga wants to be Kobe but is OJ Mayo.

Spencer Jones wants to be a Shane Battier.

 

Rob Lost points for Austin, Walker contracts Plus Van, Dalton still on the team. Lebron had to go gain points, Ayton was going to be unhappy gain point. Smart is a mix bag. Defensive difference maker but older and injury prone plus gets in the way of younger guys. Got away with a low risk high reward season but keep moving. previous 3 years played less than 30 games. No back up center and PF so incomplete. B as of today with a potential of an A
