    So GS signing KD to the max then trading him to Brooklyn for Russell?

    I can't keep up.

    No, KD and Kyrie are both signing for less than the max so that the Nets can afford to add Jordan too

    Good call. So what is GS giving up for Russell? Seems odd that they're offloading Iggy with a pick if they're having to give up valuable for Russell as well.

    Possibly nothing... Nets are also sending them Treveon Graham and Shabazz Napier so I'm guessing it's a salary dump to make the KD/Kyrie/Jordan signings work

    Hate this for #MyGrizz
    Why?

    This is all tied into their trade exception that they got for Conley ... they got a future 1st out of it when they have no real interest in doing anything from a $$$ standpoint

    Iggy will eventually get bought out and head to the Lakers or something like that to chase a ring before retiring at the end of the year.

    The only bad thing I see about this from a Grizz standpoint is that they are really going to struggle to not convey a really good pick to Boston eventually. I don't see them exceeding the protections this year and then it becomes whatever the following year. Boston could very easily get a Top 3 pick out of all of this.

    Nevermind I misread it as three firsts, one mildly protected significantly future first for Iggy is probably okay.

    It's Golden State sending the 1st if I read right ... all Memphis is doing is absorbing the salary.

    Yep I read it wrong as addressed above.

    And yes, I no longer hate it for my Grizz. Love it now.

    And conveying the Boston pick has been well established as a problem for a long time. It's a massive issue.

    When you enter into a Sign and Trade, you essentially enter into a "hard cap" for the following year at something around $140M ... because of the obligations that the Warriors have on the books plus Russell's deal the $17M+ that Iggy has doesn't fit at all.
