So, once Chicago matches, does Sactown make a ridiculous offer to Smart?
I don’t think Chicago matches that.
don't they almost have to. Otherwise the Butler trade looks awful. They also were looking at signing him at 16 million a year so another 4 isn't a ton.
Not really. Markkanen looks like a keeper — you don’t need to match bad contracts just because you trade for him. It does give OKC two days to negotiate with Chicago for a Melo salary dump, as if Chicago matches, that trading partner is gone.
as I said. Matched. I just couldn't see them not matching given what they were going to reportedly give him. Sacto probably knew it as well
