No. EDIT: to be clear a sign and trade is not off the table it just isn't more likely now we've not extended the qualifying offer. The QO gave us the leverage to match the offer sheet he signed and thus more chance of getting assets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was more thinking Mo's market being less than TPE, Mo could pick a destination, we could take on equal or more salary and get picks. Other team still have full MLE. If we had QO, does that limit us to teams that submit offers? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hootie249 293 Report post Posted June 29, 2022 Now that i have a minute to think about it i really don't know. We probably have two players we already targeted. They tend to lock in on free agents, remember Aminu? Out of the blue i would say one player as a true free agent and one player we take as a trade from another team with nobody sent back. I think there is enough money out there to get Bamba without forcing some sign and trade from us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
All Eyes On Me 1,196 Report post Posted June 29, 2022 I see us not extending the QO as CYA. What it comes down to is we weren’t willing to risk paying Mo just shy of $11 million next year, and we didn’t think he was gonna get an offer sheet that he’d sign. I don’t expect him back and wish him well going forward. If he ever puts it all together, he’ll be great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’d be ecstatic with either him or Zach Lavine if this is the direction the FO is taking with the salary cap space we currently have. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It’d be wild if we threw a max at Beal or Lavine, but I don’t think WeltHam are ready to go all-in like that with our roster so raw right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
