Perfect situation if PG doesn't come to us would be PG stays in OKC and Kawhi is traded to the East.
Let's see how LeBron would construct his team then.

Klay will 100% get the Max

Yeah, if noone else will, then even the Kings won't mess this up. They'll trip over themselves giving Klay the Max offer.

According to Tony Jones, Thabo's camp expect his deal to be picked up.
Wow.

PG isn't an idiot. OKCs payroll is going to be ridiculous next year. About 250m with taxes.
Yeah but if they're committed to paying it who cares?
Same dude said he will announce at 12:01 he’s re-signing with OKC. I highly doubt that will happen.
If it does better OKC, a team we’ve already established to be behind the Jazz, than helping create a team in front of us.

About 102m for cap.
I’m going to go very unconventional here but...
Dwight Howard on a 1+1. I’m probably the biggest Dwight hater of all time, dating back to his Orlando days. Fake superstar, mentally weak, and the opposite of Jazz DNA. He didn’t work with Kobe because Kobe had to have seen through his lack of discipline and lack of toughness. All that said, I think this may be an interesting option for a few reasons.
We’re thinking about adding guys who can play wing or 4 and bring some offense. Looking at a C isn’t really something we’re doing. I know we view Favors as a good Gobert insurance but we weren’t very good with Favors at C. Aside from Gobert, we don’t have a strong rebounder. I love both Udoh and Jerebko, but their offensive limitations makes it hard together, especially as there’s no offensive in the second unit.
Dwight is now at the point where he’s been forgotten and would be underrated. I wouldn’t want him as a main cog, but he’d allow us to run (effectively) the same kind of defense without Gobert. We can do the same if we run Udoh as the backup (which is what I favor in most scenarios), but Dwight can bring more offense and lots and lots more rebounding. It would make an even better pairing with Jerebko or even signing Bertans. Hell, trade Bradley for a S&T of Bertans and something else.
If we have someone like Jabari at the 4, it makes it imperative to have a strong rebounder on the floor for 48 minutes.
Flame away.

Depends on the price. If he is really cheap, sure.
