end of contract/already off the team: AJ Johnson, Powell, Tyus Jones, M. Kelly, B Will

Sign Tari Eason to 3yr/23m contract (use part of the MLE)

resign Bagley, Cisse, and Middleton on 2-year (2nd year team option) minimums. Nembhard already has a standard contract. Pick up Lively's team option for this coming year. I would hesitate on the extension until I see him play 60 games.

Pistons trade: basically PJ and Max for 2 firsts and a very good 2rp which will give us cap flexibility next year I have a dedicated post for this one: https://fanspo.com/nba/s/general/trades/oNJ5NJWHf2ddz6/max-and-pj-for-draft-capital

Nuggets sign-and-trade: Peyton Watson is my primary offseason target. I think his shooting, scoring and defensive playmaking will fit beautifully next to Cooper moving forward and the Nuggets likely can't pay him. They get Naji in the S+T who fits their team context.

We got a squad this year, with Klay + Lavert taking 30m off the books next year in a loaded FA class.
