So Memphis gave away Huff for a second round pick and a second round pick swap... and I know this is like a minor deal but I kind of love it for Indiana. Dude is good and cheap and bigs were expensive this offseason. Not signing Turner helps a lot with their cap situation and they can dip out of...
I also think it is helpful to wait and see what you have before getting a guy like Giddy who does kind of box you in a little. Especially for where we are.
Yeah I $20M per year like him. I $30M per year kinda hate him. He likely gets closer to that and I could see them regretting that one if it gets there.
He has done it multiple years so I just wonder what player he is most like. Cap space may not mean much next year. We will see.
Depends on the price but he really goosed his numbers post AS break and if you are buying based on that... there could be some buyers remorse if he is closer to 12/7/6 than 21/11/9. He has been a post AS break looter. Even at 25M per year I have real reservations.
We wanted Collins though... he wasn't a means to get out of Gay's money. It was 100% about getting Collins the player and not a salary move. We could have paid Gay and used like 20M+ in cap space that offseason. Might have even been at the floor.
I think there was only the report that Grimes wants like 25-30M a year. So you are there with 3/75. My guess is Sixers are in the 4/75 range. I guess I struggle to see that as a win if you got him at 3/75M or if they matched that it doesn't really help that. Like just with John Collins... is...
I just hated how that question was asked and how there was no follow up or clarification. Big game hunting was hilarious and @Elizah Huge and I called it out on the pod when it happened. It had like 2-3 qualifiers that no one bothers to mention. It was reinforced by others in the local media...
Grimes gets us just a smidge too close to competence and I think it will take 4/100M to make them pause on a match. To make the offer we give up a little flexibility on the amount we can take in salary dumps. If they want to work a sign and trade with the exception maybe I guess but I don't want...
Depends on what they want to do with Walker but it will be basically max or ability to get to max very easily.
There aren't going to be FAs you would want to max out though. Partly a guess based on which guys get extended. I would bet its more a thing where we would take someone's slightly...
Not sure why you would want to mess around in RFA right now. You don't want to put in EBay bids that you don't want to win. Good/Fair offers will get matched. I'd rather just keep the full MLE and full trade exception and have the ability to take on 40M in bad expiring salaries and just get cap...
Take on salary dumps with the trade exception and MLE. Fill the coffers with second round picks. No offer sheets in FA. Hold our nose for one year. Go into next offseason with a bunch of cap space and decide what you want to do with it.
Yeah... my position was the "profit" from that deal had to be in the acquisition. The Hawks should have had to pony up the Kings pick to get that one done. Getting Collins for free likely cost us 6-10 second round picks in cap space we could have rented out. This offseason would have been killer...
