Owners trying to get rid of S&T's

This isn't about Stuckey, Gordon, etc....this is all about getting rid of Rip and his bloated contract.

Hamilton led a player revolt last year against their coach - he gotta go even if they get a new coach.

DWill,

Okur has one year left, not two.

 

[A-Train (old)]

Memo for Hamilton and #8 is a deal I would do, the Jazz could either buyout Hamilton or use him as a shooting guard, then they could trade the #8 and #12 for the #5, and they draft Kanter at #3 and Knight at #5.

I think it should be mentioned that Okur has 1 year left. Not 2.

 

[The-Joker]

I'll have it be known that Memo actually has 1 year left with an up to 7 year GM Option for a "TBD" amount of cash which can range from 400k up to 20 mil.

The gist is the league (owners) want more restrictive policies to prevent players from jumping ship. The S&T takes leverage out of the hands of owners and forces them to accept 'trades' they don't want to make just so they get nothing when a player walks away.

Yeah, you can do sign and trades when they become free agents on July 1. However, the current CBA ends June 30. There won't be any free agent signings this off season until the new CBA is worked out. That also means this trade can't happen until the new CBA is worked out (which many are estimating could eat half the season).

Which is exactly what billy shelby meant when he said: AKA-this trade will never happen until the looming lockout is over.

Yes, but theoretically an S&T can still transpire under the old CBA. So everyone else is right. But without a CBA, there is not going to be any S&T's. So nobody is going to acquire Prince by way of S&T before the draft unless he miraculously agrees to a low rent contract.

From Midrange? Because he is a terrible 3pt shooter.

He has a good mid range shot. He can definitely develop a three pointer too. I would be willing to take the Rip Hamilton baggage if we get Stuckey and the 8th Pick and send them Bell and Memo.

I just can't see that trade happening, memo, bell and the 12 the pick for rip, stucky and the 8th pick. That sounds a little more realistic
