His value is 18 million to add to a trade package for a star. That’s pretty much what it’s always been if we’re being honest and it’s only gone up in that sense now that he’s an expiring. We just have to pull the damn trigger for someone.
On the Jrue front, I’d love him as a Knick next to Brunson. He’s a 6’3” tank that can guard 3 positions, 2 of them at an elite level. But that salary is too steep to get to without gutting the team of still valuable pieces. He’s not worth trading Fournier’s contract, IQ and IHart for example. If he was say, 28 years old, I’m doing it though.
Third, unless Embiid is a lock, i think trading Mitch would be a mistake. Rumor is he’s available but Leon wants multiple first for him. His rebounding is elite and his value will only go up as teams start to lean more into the importance of offensive rebounding.
