yes. Although in my scenario we'd be under the cap. I assume we gonna operate over the cap, to have the MLE available. I think in that case we can take back around 17 million for Branham + Wesley
Can we combine Wesley and Branham to take back a bigger number if we wanted?

@ people saying we should give Sochan 20 million per year
Looney's underrated still and he's a decent backup option for lower salary if Spurs can't get Kornet. The biggest thing with Kornet is that he's got some promise of playing with Wemby.
In a very small sample size of 203 minutes over the last two seasons, Kornet/Porzingis is +25/100 (Porzingis alone +8.7, Kornet alone +12.8, no Porzingis/Kornet +7.8 in many more minutes)
Looking at his impact with Horford: Horford alone +9.5, Kornet alone +14.3, no Horford/Kornet +6.4, Horford/Kornet +12.3
So it seems like even though his primary role would be as a backup big, there is an avenue toward more minutes by playing him together with Wemby and at the very least not be a net negative
Of course, this is with Boston's 5 out spacing, but I think there is enough signal there to support the notion that Kornet could be an excellent fit on this team both with and without Wemby

Kornet is easily the best free agent C, it's not even close.
Others are either on a serious decline or were never good enough to begin with.
Kornet is a really smart player, good short roll passer with high basketball IQ. He obviously has quickness issues due to his size, but you can always count on him to make the best decision on both ends of the floor.
Something we sorely need after all these years of low IQ basketball.
Yea Kornet is easily my #1 FA target. He impressed me last season, especially in the Playoffs. And while they'd likely mostly stagger minutes, jumbo lineups with both he and Wemby on the floor together is really intriguing. Just don't think the C's are going to let him walk. They're in a tight situation with their cap though so we'll see. All hinges on their ability to trade Simons and get his contract off the books. If the Spurs can somehow lock him up, it'd be an A+ offseason tbh.
From what I've read most Celtics fans think he's gone, similar to how Spurs lost their role players that went elsewhere to get paid.
Although he might be willing to stay in Boston for less money because he'd likely be the starter in the upcoming season.
Lebron picked up his option, wasting another year of Luka's prime on a first round exit. Nice.
I like Presti spending all of OKC money into keeping together a team that is far from being great. When a true good team (hopefully Spurs) will challenge them, I expect them to fold easily.
Which makes mouthpiece stuff like this from Shams all the more hilarious. It's Kobe at the end of his career all over again. He wants to compete for Championships but refuses to make the sacrifices necessary to build a Championship contender.
Hey Bruno, while your here, I was looking at Mathias Lessort yesterday or the day before. Do you think he'd be a good fit, or not really?
It seems he had a lower leg fracture and has re-signed for 3 years with his Euroleague team. Any idea how he is physically and if he has any interest to coming to the NBA? I see the Wizards also acquired his draft rights. Have they been trying to bring him in?
What are your thoughts on Yabusele? Do you think he's a possibility for the Spurs?
I wouldn't be getting both Luke Kornet and also Guerschon. I think those two would be great additions.

If I'm Wright, I'm offering a 2 years full MLE to Capela or Lopez at the start of the FA period.
Kornet might be a good option but he will likely ask for a longer contract which I don't like.
On a positive note, LeBron continues to be a blight on the Lakers. Picking up that option at the same time claiming he wants to compete for championships. That’s some nasty work.
I don’t like however, that the Spurs will probably be competing with the Lakers over the limited center prospects available in free agency.
Front office goal should be about protecting Wemby’s body, as best they can, from taking a nightly beating by opposing bigs.
Some people are just re s and there's no helping it.[Charania] BREAKING: The U.S. District Attorney’s office is investigating Detroit Pistons guard Malik Beasley on allegations of gambling related to NBA games and prop bets, sources told ESPN. Serious development surrounding one of the top NBA free agents.
I fully agree with this, I’d rather have one of those two guys tbh, I like Kornet and think he’d be a nice add too, but is he that much better than Zach Collins was last year? I don’t see a huge difference
What an absolute dumbass if true. Dude was about to get a bag from Detroit. Now he might be banned from the league altogether.
They're going to have 90% of their cap tied up in 3 players in 2 years. Add in Caruso at ~11.5%, now Jaylin Williams with another 5%, Joe ~7%, Wiggins 6% that's already 7 players at ~120%.
Cap is soon unless Shai/Chet/Jalen give discounts on their maxes.

They’re totally different players. Kornet would be 10x more impactful than Collins. Collins is an awful defender and offers little to no rim protection.
Kornet made $2m last year. Sure he showed he's worth more but the full non-tax MLE? I don't think so
He’ll easily get it unless he takes a paycut for staying in Boston. Charlotte, among others, have a starting position and 35 mpg for him.
DFS would be a significant loss for the Lakers. He's one of the few guys on that roster that actually defends.
He's the only reliable rim protector who isn't washed.
I'd easily offer him 28/2, it's not like we'll have cap issues.
Lakers are ed if DFS leaves, they have to keep him.
