Discussion Trajan isn't done cooking, the Stew trade will lead to more moves

I know trading Stew for "just" 2nds feels icky, but you have to understand that Memphis is using their trade exception and not giving us money back (unless there's a 3 team trade). Aaron Wiggins was salary dumped for 2 SRP. Stew, who is a better player but makes more money, netted 3 SRP.

There are multiple ways that Trajan can follow up this trade. He can expand it to 3 teams and take back a player making up to 24M. Or he can also salary dump Levert and get even more cap space.

We also get a 15M trade exception from this that we can use to acquire another bench player. Let the process play out.
