re: 5 Potential Offseason Paths w/o Jrue

Philly has over $50 million in cap space. They can get even lower than that. There is no benefit for them other than warm fuzzies or whatever we pay them.
Brooklyn finally has their own pick in 2019, so it seems like they really should be planning to tank after next season. Why sign Holiday to a deal you won't be able to trade when you'll need to hit the reset button soon? If tanking isn't in their future plans, then Lin/Holiday/Lopez isn't the worst core to chase .500 and the 8 seed with.

To be honest, I really don't think Brooklyn is a player in this as much as we've bantered it about.
Philly is, but again, I think they'll sign him out right because of their cap situation and because of their young core. Holiday can be very effective in Philly with Embiid and Simmons surrounding him.
New York is who to watch out for if anyone else only because he is the type of PG Phil Jackson wants and would probably go there if his brother wants to stay.
But, the final reality, to me, is that we are our own competition for Jrue's services unless he takes a tremendous paycut to be a backup on a contender (which I don't see happening).
