Yeah, I get all that.They can sign Lebron and George by stretching Deng and denouncing their free agents and non-guaranteed contacts. If they can get Lebron and George to take a little less than the full max in the first year, they could keep Randle and Bryant as well.
The difference between trading away Deng and stretching Deng is about $8M on this year's cap (+ whomever is traded away). Unless they have a third FA lined up for that money (or are forced to use the max on both AND are set on keeping Randle), moving the contract isn't necessary. They certainly can't move Kuzma without locking up Randle.
The topic was the cost of moving Deng.
Some fans think Kuzma is too high.
I think that's crazy talk.
