Rose we either trade for smaller contracts that can be traded later or just let him walk for nothing and use that cap space to sign someone outright.

As for Noah, we have a max slot free this offseason, and if we get rid of melo we have more space. We aren't adding any significant free agents for a few year so why are you sweating Noah's deal? He's a good leader, good locker room guy, I'd don't get why people are so desperate to get rid of him, we don't need the salary or the roster spot.

SMDH! Why? Because he takes 17M off cap for next three years!! Problem will be, Phil will have to give him minutes or admit trade was bad. And we all know Phil won't ever do that.

As mentioned, he is here to stay unless we give away a pick or take on another ****ty contract.

So the deal might be swapping Noah for Deng. Equal bad money, both not reallly playing.
