I believe the question was more, highest profile FA, not like undrafted rookie FA that worked out the best. You dont need cap for that.

Fwiw, Masai isn't wrong. We're actually likely to be one of the few teams with a bucket of cap space depending on what happens with the Pascal trade.
If we don't take back any significant salary (players not on their entry level deal) that extends into next season, we're on the books for 90 million with that covering most of out good players. Expect maybe 95-98 million if we take on someone like Jarace Walker in a Pascal deal.
Scottie, RJ, Jake, Boucher, Dennis, Koloko, McDaniels. Quickley will extend, but I expect us use some cap first and go over with the Quickley extension.
The cap will be 142, with the luxury tax at 176. So we could pretty easily have 40-45 million in cap space to spend if we wanted to and then use the ~27 millie Quickley is going to get and a veteran rotation player with the MLE to bring us up to the tax threshold (which I don't expect us to go into)
There aren't a lot of big names to go after, but I think we'll either be active by taking on salary in trade or picking up a few good players. Claxton, Miles Bridges, Oubre, Melton, Lonnie Walker, Bitadze, Kyle Lowry (pbuh) all interesting names.

maybe we can sign someone almost as good as Siakam.

You're way more interesting in paying a good 2nd option elite money than I am.
I mean, how good do you think Siakam actually is?

Aw, you think Zeke is interesting.
OKC is fucken loaded
No team has their roster , cap , draft capital flexibility
They can pivot any way they want until 2030 with Presti

I don't see how. Bagley has turned himself into a NBA player worth taking a shot on. I don't see what we have that's comparable to give up for 2 professional bench bodies.
Thats how I see it , our bench is full of expiring crap

Yeah. They'll probably turn Muscala and Gallo into random kids or 2nds at the deadline.

Which side of the trade do you want though? I don't see how Bagley fits here (bad defender, some upside but meh, maybe a good rotation big eventually) and Muscala-Gallo would be okayish veteran depth for us, but just okay.
Just trying to get some bench depth , our crap for not as crappy in return
