Anthony Davis carries −$61.2M of negative surplus on $175M across 3 years. It grades "needs-sweetener" — the front office's biggest lever is finding the exit before the term shortens the buyer pool further.

DAL carries $85.1M of tracked production (25th of 30) against $242M of true cost, netting −$157M of surplus (24th of 30). That profile reads rebuilding: an overall F-grade roster (24/100) whose defining trait is optionality (42/100).
Klay Thompson is the surplus engine: −$10.0M on $16.6M, 4.3 marginal wins of production.
Anthony Davis is the drag: −$61.2M under water on $175M still owed over 3 years.
