Top 5 Targets for Summer 2018

[Handlogten's Heros]

We have the best assets to trade with Washington. Any salary we save them prior to July 1 is saving them that money times 2 or 3. They are set to be a repeat luxury tax offender.

For example, trading Burks ($10.8) for Gortat ($12.8) would save Washington like $6 million not just $2.

We have so many scenarios trading with Washington. Move up from #21 to #15, get Porter, get a future 1st. So many options...

I believe luxury tax for last year is frozen... next year is a different story doe.

So they actually weren't a luxury tax team last year, but they project to be this year (around $5 over) and definitely next year. If they want to keep Oubre and Satoransky and the rest of the team intact, they will stay over the luxury for quite some time.

Also, is Bjelly any better then Jerebko?

much better range. He can absolutely fill it up from very deep range

You don't think they'll even use their MLE?

If we can sign either Bjelica or Joe Harris then I will be really happy. Not sure if we can Bjelica would mean losing Favors.

They are in the tax but can’t change that now. Salary cap freezes at some point and teams are stuck. If they can duck the tax this year it helps them avoid the repeater tax.

That's what I was referring to. I think we could make a draft day deal which lessens their luxury tax impact for this budget year and saves them a ton towards next year. Something like our nonguaranteeds for Gortat.

Not sure. They seem similar. We'll let DL decide.

What do you guys think about a trade built around:

Bucks get Gortat
Wiz get Udoh and Jerekbo
We get Dellavadova and draft considerations.

Seems like the Wiz could use the massive savings, the Bucks need a big man, and we could harness the Aussie irritant. Plus, we should end up with #15 if we help both these teams out...

I've wondered the same thing but HH seems certain he's a significantly better player which is basically good enough for me tbh.
