Jan 21, 2020 — Neil Olshey

The decision this board surrounds ultimately brought in Caleb Swanigan. Later outcomes never rewrite the board.

POR on 2020-01-21: the listed basketball needs were event creation, creation, rim pressure. 1 player(s) were publicly on the market, but none had a source linking this team to them. 1 open-market candidate(s) matched at least one listed need. Market access, basketball fit, price, salary route, and legality remain separate.

Public market context only; no team linklisted needs: event creation · creation · rim pressure1 candidate — ordered by team link, then need match, then evidence. No target score.

Historical decision board. A public-market player is not presented as a team target without a named team link. Minimum outgoing salary is not exact legality. Missing asking price is not a zero price. Later outcomes do not alter the decision-date board.
