Hey, just taking a quick break from being really fucking pumped about Kemba to share some notes on what the deal means so far.
The Kemba/Rozier sign-and-trade alone is exactly the same for us as renouncing Rozier and signing Kemba outright. We have to take Kemba into our cap space here because we aren't sending out enough to match, so we just get the room exception and like $2 mil of cap space. Same situation it looked like when the "definitely not an agreement yet" started coming out, no full MLE or trade exception.
The fun part comes if we can work something out this week to expand the deal and include Kyrie and/or Al. There are two main things we can do after that.
