I’d love to be able to package Jaxon and picks for another shooter and bring Willy back for the $2 million on his option but I think he will ask to be released so he can play somewhere. Kira is never going to play here so moving on from him would be good also if possible. Then you have Temple and Richardson who won’t be back but I think Seabron and Liddell could take those spots at the bottom of the roster. We will have to go cheap with the last 4-5 spots on the roster with 3 guys making $30+ million next year. Jonas’ contract looks like a steal at this point, defensive issues aside.

Jax will walk

I imagine they'll let Willy walk


I believe they already picked up the option for next season on Kira, right?

Why are you concerned about the players at the End of the bench. No team has a roster where everyone contributes let it go

Package Kira and Willy for a shooter. They make ~8m combined.

I’m ok keeping Kira over the off-season, first off-season since coming back see what he’s got, if not impressed trade him by the deadline.

Will probably be downvoted but seems like most logical thing with the former 13th pick.

They are never going to play him. He also makes 6m next year which is a lot for a guy that never plays. Turn him into a shooter via trade

Willy is 100% gone. He wants out, and he's too slow a defender.

Jaxson is 85% gone. He doesn't work hard to develop his talent, and he fell completely out of the rotation this season after being an integral part of our playoff roster last year.

Kira is only 40% gone. He's still really young and still has a lot of development potential. I don't think that Griff would hesitate to include him in a trade, though, if the salary was needed.

Unfortunately Jax will be gone

The team tried to make him a stretch big or some shite during preseason. He played like Aids in that role and got put in the dog house for the majority of the season.

Yet, every time they actually gave him run at the 5 this year, he played pretty damn well.

But he will be gone. Something obviously happened behind closed doors at some point this season, bc we were trotting out Nance and Jonas some games where they clearly looked dead instead of playing Jax and trying to win the game.

Willy is going to play Euro league

Kira is trash. He will be completely out of the nba by this time next year.

Honestly it's time to move on. We need specific skills these guys don't bring to the table.

We can replace them with useful skillets like a pure shooter, a rotational big, rim protector, and maybe give Liddell or Matkovic a shot.
