76ers releasing Bogut

[akirac73]

We wouldn't trade Favors for Bogut.... Good Lord guys.

IF Bogut is getting bought out and wants to come here, we pull the trigger on trading Favors somewhere else. Waiver wire pickup Bogut would be huge for us. With him, we don't need Favors as much as other assets. So trade Favors and picks if you have to in order to improve the team and future.

I still don't follow your logic. You're bascially saying that Bogut is a power forward...he isn't. I wouldn't mind Bogut as our backup center or maybe play PF in situational roles (i.e. against big frontlines like AD-Boogie). If people are complaining that a Favors/Gobert frontline ruins our spacing, does a Gobert/Bogut frontline change that? Saying Bogut = Favors is ridiculous. Comparing both players right now, Favors is far more versatile defensively, has a better offensive game, and he's younger.

I could see the Jazz doing it just to get to the salary floor.

 

[David Stern]

They can have Boris for him.

Bogut's a also a great passer. A complete upgrade package over Diaw

Mack to Cleveland --> Cleveland 2nd rounder to Philly --> Bogut to Utah.

Mack to Cleveland --> Cleveland 2nd rounder to Philly --> Bogut to Utah.

Why doe? If they buy him out we can just sign him and trade Mack to CLE for that 2nd rounder.

Do you waive Diaw to make room?

It's not going to happen now, but Bogut would take on backup center duties. Favors and Gobert only play 11mpg together right now because of fit. Favors plays most minutes at C. If we got Bogut, we could have traded Favors for a better PF and/or other assets. My whole idea was to add Bogut for free then trade Favors since we'd have backup C covered.

I guess technically we could still add Bogut, shelve Favors until he gets close to healthy and then decide what to do in the summer.

Bogut? **** no.


I post, therefore I am.

Spurs, Cavs, Rockets... All interested, and none from Utah. Well done, DL. Well done

And all contending teams. Claim him off waivers. It's one of the few advantages to having cap space at the deadline.
