It'll be interesting to see what kind of interest Schroder, Gallo (in a sign and trade), or Adams (probably not a positive asset with his contract) garner on the market. There's a chance that Presti only sees weak offers and the team tries to run it back. Convincing Gallo to stay might be tough though. But, yeah, it's likely that things get blown up.

Funny enough, I would have been fine with Billy staying for a rebuild. I just don't want him coaching a playoff team after three straight years of poor playoff coaching. Even though this team overachieved, I think we win the first round series if Donovan had just used better rotations (e.g., going small more with Bazley and Gallo). If it's a rebuild, I'll embrace it. Low expectations can be fun.
Don’t they have to stay within something like 80% of equal salaries on a trade?
