I know its going to take some time for the perception of the Grizzlies to get out of people's head. But, this is a whole new era. Whatever feelings people had about the core 4 and the old front office should vanish soon.
That's not what I'm talking about
. Like I said I've liked what the grizzlies have been doing for the past year or so. But what exactly is the plan with those expiring contracts? Next year is terrible for free agency so are they targeting someone in a trade or something?

- you think their plan right now is to keep Iggy going into the season? There was a lot of chatter about him getting bought out when the move first got made...everysingletime

If Kahwi could just re-sign with the Raptors. The league would be so wide open and unpredictable. It'd make the nba fun.

Not necessarily. He’s already been there for a year and knows the team and organization. Doubt he’s got too many questions for them.

There's several ways to go into this. We aren't trying to make plans to contend any time soon, so you can either sell off those expirings at the deadline for a 1st/multiple 2nd's + longer contract. You can use the money in free agency to make a big offer at a RFA (Levert, Murray, Brown, etc.). For guys that have a ltitle more value like Crowder, you may be able to move him in a deal straight up for a future pick to a contender. A small market with these type of options are good.
Unlikely, but a possibility, they could build up enough assets to make a big play on the next star that comes available. Most teams look for picks and young assets. Regardless of where the star wants to go, you can take that risk by trading for him if you believe that guy will push your team over the top and Ja/JJJ are eventually in a position to help carry you as well.
At the moment, I haven't heard anything about if we will buy Iggy out. Its crazy how this has been the talk when Memphis has yet to say a word about it. The roster is getting full, though. If we decide to bring Delon back, we will be at about 18 guys with Korver/Bradley non guaranteed deals. I don't think we are done making moves. But, I think we only buy Iggy out if he wants to be somewhere else. Ideally, I think we want to keep him.

^^^ Not if Iggy embraces the role of being a mentor to younger guys the way Vince Carter has...but that doesn’t seem to me like what he wants to do at this point. He’ll probably try to force his way out of Memphis at some point.

I think it’s funny that, at this point, everyone acknowledges it’s impossible to get in Kawhi’s head and know what he’s really thinking, yet we all keep trying to read into stuff he does

Exactly -- and the ring chasing argument isn't even a thing considering he already has 3 rings and a Finals MVP.
I will make a prediction to say if the Grizz buy him out, the number is going to have be pretty small. At the most 50% of his contract. There's no real incentive for the Grizz to buy him out close to his actual contract figure. The reason we just traded Parsons was due to both parties not agreeing on a buyout number.
So, if he's bought out, it will be a favorable number for us or we decide to trade him again while getting multiple 2nds for him (which also adds to the Conley trade since we acquired Iggy via his trade exception).

I’ve been going to Clippers, Lakers, and Raptors forums and it’s crazy how each fanbase watches or reads the same thing but comes to a different conclusion
