That's it.
We can't trade:
any first rounders until 2025
our second rounder this year (it's gone to the Warriors)
use cap to absorb bad contracts (we're functionally over the cap)
We really don't have good contracts to trade. We're very top heavy on contracts so we have the big contracts of KP/THJ, untradable guys like Doncic, and then not a lot of ballast/beneficial contracts to match/sweeten any deals. Every trade I look at, I just fo go to contracts and we just don't have the contracts to match and we're over the cap. If we trade with a team
I honestly don't think we can even make a trade if we wanted to. Maybe something involving our 18th/31st, but any trade involving the 31st pick will have to wait until November, because then it becomes rights to a player and not a first rounder.

31 is first pick of second round. And we can agree to a deal in principle if someone wants us to draft at 18 for them. Not saying that will happen. Personally, I’d like to see them use the picks, assuming there are players they actually like. Worst case they suck and you dump them relatively painlessly. Best case you get a low cost starter.
