"Valid question. Financially it increases flexibility next year and could save some money next year. So it improves that way. Buying low on Knecht and adding more shooting is never a bad thing. The Rui for Hunter swap is the interesting part. Rui rebounds less than Hunter but has been a more consistent shooter and can guard up more in lineups (remember he guarded Jokic). So from a stylistic fit it makes sense. If they ended up with a deal like that wouldnt be mad"

"And he might be as the first big and they may see how Tyson fares sliding back to the SF role first.

The question for Tyson is has his step back with Harden been temporary due to Harden's skillset due to Tyson playing more [--] or just needing a different lineup look Getting Tyson back to the bench may provide more"

"When has LeBron taken a discount He's talked later in life about maximizing earnings to the fullest extent and passed on discounts with the Lakers when he's had the chance. With that: LeBron opting in does guarantee his salary if he can force his way out. Opting out would have limited his earning potential (no salary from Lakers this year plus very little money in the market place). By opting in he guarantees most of his salary this year thus affording him to choose the best fit regardless of financials. There was no way he was getting $20M $30M or $40M anywhere this year so opting in"
