bro is going hard to secure that next contract, hopefully we can keep him and Yabu.

Is it possible for us to sign Yabu first and then just match whatever he gets.

I’m not sure what Kelly is going to do but I could see him opting out and freeing up some money.

Look I hate to say it but it will be extremely difficult to hold onto Grimes and Yabu
I think it’s almost impossible to keep Yabu at this point. He’ll get offers from a lot of teams that can pay him more whether they are contenders or not. If a middling or even bad team decides to cash him out what can we do :yeshrug: . People think only contenders will go after him, which give us a chance financially to retain him. Because most of the contenders don’t have much if any cap space like us. He has no incentive to stay with us if anyone offers him more money.

If Oubre picks up his $8.38M option, we can use the $14.1 MLE on Yabu, then give Grimes $15m using his bird rights.

That will put us over the tax but under the 1st apron. I could see Oubre leaving and getting more elsewhere tho, especially now that Embiids injury no longer makes us contenders anymore.

I like Yabu but he’s 30. It’s imperative we keep Grimes.

If Grimes wasn't so hand dominate some of this shyt might be legit. Any time he tries to dribble with his off hand shyt gets real awkward. I think he is legit a high level role player though. Hopefully its here but he should be out for the biggest bag.
