Why would we trade a high lottery pick to get rid of a 12.7mill expiring? Just let him expire next offseason and spend the money then. We already have like 30mill in cap to spend this offseason.

I mean this could be one of those drafts like 2013 where there basically isn't any talent, but you at least take the gamble. Using a high lottery pick to get 13 mill in cap one year early seems silly to me. Any star young enough to be a good partner to Luka and KP will fit in our cap space. It's also dumb to put effort into clearing assets for potential signings-- we've done it before and ended up with not much to show for it.

I meant to trade the pick to a team who is pretty high on someone available and getting a good player in return
