This deal doesn't make sense for the Warriors. They're not giving up Kuminga for a lower-tier starting center.

Patrick Williams is a cost controlled wing who fits well as a role player, more so than Kuminga who is less a role player. Intel days Warriors want Vuc among a few other potential bigs

I understand the logic, I just don't think Vuc/Williams have the same upside.

Don't think the Warriors are looking at long term upside. Think they may be focused on the remaining Steph years and may not want to overpay Kuminga in the meantime

Dear Eric, thanks for all the cap insights over the years! One Lakers question I'm coming back to: If they'd free a Roster Spot in a trade - let's say: Rui, JHS, Pick Swap 2029, 2nd Round 2025 for Vucevic. Could they then go after Lonnie Walker IV, pay his release clause and sign him to the Vet Min?

I'm skeptical as the Bulls haven't traded with the Lakers in any meaningful way in any of the decades I've tracked. I also don't think the Lakers wanted Lonnie Walker back previously, so why would we assume a shift?

Fair point and interesting that they don't seem to have a relationship with an eastern conference team. My question was, however, more so a theoretical cap question. Are 1st apron teams allowed to pay release clauses for players employed in the Euroleague?

NBA teams can pay a limited amount in the 800k range
