that is the wrong trade for Harris in my opinion. First off, the additional assets should be coming our way. Harris is an albatross contract. There is no way we should give up a FRP. It should be, at minimum, Harris, Thuybulle, and an asset (pick or Springer) coming back.
Second, why use Holmes? You can make it work with Barnes, Harkless, Holiday and Len. Save Holmes for a separate deal where you obtain an asset.
The deal should be
Barnes, Harkless, Holiday, and Len for Harris, Thuybulle, and Springer or FRP.

So it really comes down to one of two truths:
Monte is working a trade and needs the cap space to take on more salary or Donte didn’t want to be here and we decided not to do Buddy/Bagley all over again. The second one sucks but they may have determined DDV wasn’t a good enough piece to risk matching on a 40 mil dollar deal for an unhappy player. Let’s hope it was the former
If we just wanted to sign a free agent we could have had both DDV and Monk or whoever fit into the MLE

I still see the DDV proponents tap dancing around the question of; what do you think he'll fetch on the open market? Seems like this thread started with posters talking about 10mil a year for DDV and him starting and will end with him taking considerably less to play a backup role..
Giving him the qualifying offer so we can rescind it by July 13th?? whats that accomplish? Seems like an exercise in futility.

If CHA moves away from Miles Bridges, so many different directions come into play. One trade concept I'm mulling: CHA: Harrison Barnes (1 yr, $18M), Richaun Holmes (3 yrs, $36M), Justin Holiday (1 yr, $6M) SAC: Plumlee (1 yr, $9M), Oubre (1 yr, $12.6M), Bouknight (3 yrs, $15M)
Hmmmmm Maybe?

Capt, looking at our current cap situation, whats the most we can sign DDV to now, since we didn't extend the QO?
I wonder if its a situation where DDV agent said they are looking for 4 years/$60 mil contract and Monte told them no, but good luck with that. I won't extend the QO, go ahead and test the waters yourself and comeback with an offer sheet and give me a chance to beat it. Otherwise Adios.

Well, if you don't want a player it's to try and get teams to come to you in free agency with something if only a 2nd rounder to get you to look the other way. Monte didn't get anything for Bogdan but it forced the Bucks to come to him. For this to make ANY sense it would be that Monte is trying to make it right by Donte (why? Don't know), or he needs that little tiny bit of space to bring in someone specific in trade at a lower salary or as part of a bigger deal. The issue with Monte right now is he's kind of telegraphing his moves. He certainly did on draft night.
I know, if they are using that space they'll renounce the cap holds which should still get them under a little. If they wanted Donte, this wouldn't make sense for either side. For this to be at all useful it has to be about targeting a non-FA player and being able to give a team some salary cap relief. I think somehow the Kings will be the 3rd wheel in a John Collins trade with their old friends CASH and Mr. 2nd round pick coming to the capital city. lol.
The cap hold on DDV appears to be $14M, so we've got enough space to get up to around that 4/$60M region with an escalating contract.
But if we were willing to go that high, why balk on the $6.6M QO? Showing "good faith" and negotiating against ourselves rather than letting hte market dictate his value?
Because DDV is now unrestricted, there is no offer sheet anymore. DDV can negotiate with every team, and we have no chance to match.
