Disregard Mirotic, Aquire Favors!

I mean crowder wasn’t killing it either though. I think the gravity he has still allows us to stretch the floor.

Yeah, but a lot of the talk around trading for Mirotic was trading Favors in conjunction with that move, either in the trade for Mirotic or separate.

If they decide to keep mirotic then he would just be a free agent in 2019 and we can get him then right? Or would we be left not having enough monies for him at that point?

Yeah, but if they decide to keep him that probably means they are deciding not to keep Boogie, which means they would probably commit to Mirotic long-term.

Yeah... butterfly effect comes into play... who knows.

Maybe he slumps and NO decides it needs to save some dough. If not we can wait. We know he had interest and I can’t see NO retaining him with Boogie and AD. He won’t want to be a 6th man forever and there will be money concerns.
 
1. We dangled both Burks and Favors but Chicago wanted a first rounder. They would have taken our deal as you see they took NO’s deal.
2. NO only came into the picture in the 11th hour because of the Boogie injury.
3. Always take the bird in hand when you’ve got it; the landscape changes fast (see #2).
4. I’ve remained doubtful about him being acquirable. Yeah, we can project tax landscape, but again, the landscape of the league can change fast.
5. I always said our pick wasn’t going to be that good.
6. Next year we could have had Niko rather than Burks.
7. He’s an 18 PPG guy in our system, by picking up what the offense gives him.
8. I’ve rupture both my achilles tendons in the past 5 years. Boogie’s rupture was more painful than both of them.

I disagree. They can mitigate the tax and letting Boogie walk is smart until you consider that AD really wants him back... and concern number 1 for them is keeping AD happy.

They could probably move Moore without a significant sweetener. They could also move Niko mid season once Boogie is healthy.

Milk was a bad choice.

Stay strong buddy!
 
The thing that gives me hope is they were concerned about that second year and almost balked... so money is on their mind. So it is a factor.. if they can flip Niko for Crowder and save 10-25M I think they will consider it. They are one of the franchises that loses money... so throwing more money in the pot may be unpalatable.

They are winning a playoff series for the first time. That's what makes AD happy.
