Then go 2 yrs with a final year option. Big risk of another Kevin Love type of crash with age

I really like Ingles’ fit on this team. We could obviously use his shooting, but it’s his passing and secondary playmaking that would also help. You can run sets for him with the bench unit and not have to worry about where you’re offense is going to come from for multiple possessions while the main starters rest. Being able to help facilitate on the second unit would alleviate some of the pressure on the younger guys, especially Kira, and would make me feel a little better if Kira is penciled in as the backup 1 to start the year.

I mean obviously that's what I would want to do.

I think the difference between him signing with us and not a better franchise are things like Team Options.

I’d think 17 and and 35 for ingles and 30 might be a bit more realistic. Either way I’d be good with it. Ingles fills a big shooting need

They wouldn't want 17 with trying to free up salary.

Also it's been rumored you could probably get Ingles or Bogie from them for free if you can eat their salary, so 2 2nds with #30 seems great. The 2nd are more valuable to them because it's not guaranteed salaries

Seems like they are doing Westbrook a favor by trading him to the Lakers. I feel sorry for the Wizards if that real,y is the trade,

If so, look for the Warriors to be all in on Beal.

I would bank on Westbrook and Buddy being almost done if Shams is tweeting it.

Salary matching will be an issue, and may get them fined, as the only way to match salaries would be a Schroeder S&T

Shams indicating it may only be one?

They would not be doing both, unless it is a 3-way deal with Buddy going to Wizards.

Wizards insider is saying Kuzma and Harrell could be flipped to Brooklyn to get Dinwiddie. Good news for the Pels if so.
