That was one of the virtues of the James Johnson contract, right? Now even if we offload Powell we won’t have enough to keep J-Rich&THJ and pursue John Collins for instance. Part of the advantage of having large expiring contracts is that you can trade them with other assets for a large contract and then re-sign your own Free Agents. That said, it’s likely they tried to swing a deal but didn’t have a match or the assets they were willing to part with. Seems like another possible missed opportunity, but I understand not going “all in” on Aaron Gordon. He would’ve been a huge upgrade but preserving our assets for a bigger deal is probably the best route. Just worried with Luka’s extension coming up we will have a lot less wiggle room soon.
