Deuce's skillset is more easily replaceable for cheap. Shamet comes close himself. Kolek has a different skillset but he could take Deuce's minutes as well.

Mitch is the best at what he does, he changes games in the playoffs against the best comp. Would be hard to lose him. I think we need to move on from KAT 1st and foremost, he's not a serious player and i don't think you can win it all with him.

Ihart could be a FA next summer which is interesting, but if OKC turns the option down its to save $ so they wouldn't want $ coming back.

I'd guess that he is also a key role player to their success. So it's a hard decision they going to make.

Jalen Williams had a killer finals and then had major wrist surgery on his promary hand. He has played just 17 games. My take is they will go easy with him. He has his big ass extension and one has to think he'll return to form at some point.
As for iHart? That "dumb" contract he got was for 2 years and it gave him finanical security and a ring. This might rub many but if you really look at his numbers and career one might say in these parts he is over rated and over paid. The OKC thing proved to be brilliant given his game, and that Chet was injured as he was last year. iHart can basically do know wrong in these parts and with good reason but one really has to look deep into this games played and were the stats were. In the end I hated losing him but we went further last year with KAT even with his foibles.
