Once again..from the view of our FO that 26 million going forward is more valuable.

That’s a stupid point of view imo.
Give me a realistic FA pickup with that money.

Therein lies the issue. If you trade Jrue in a lopsided trade to gain cap space, you realistically are not looking to compete this season. At that point do you use the cap space on a FA (in a weak FA class), or make trades to take on final years of salary in exchange for future draft assets?

Or could we use the 26 saved from Jrue, and the 7-9 million in space we would have (after renouncing everyone but Ingram) and try to convince Van Vleet and Montrez Harrel to sign for say 4/80 and 3/45?

I don't have to and I can't answer that until we do something with JJ/ Lonzo. Please tell me why it is a stupid point of view? Because we would have 26 million and not know what to do with it??

You think that's more stupid than emotionally spending 31 million in cap for 1 draft pick and no plan for that player?? Lol
