Good find. Not sure if Atlanta had the $$ to sign Joe Johnson without a sign-and-trade, and Diaw may have also requested a trade (I think Zach Lowe wrote an article about Diaw recently...should probably check), but still the two 1st round picks turned into Rajon Rondo and Robin Lopez.

I lazy googled it.. Phoenix didn't take back salary so Atlanta would have had to be under the cap. In other news Boris Diaw used to be skinny.... skinny Boris Diaw would be scary. Link to skinny diaw below

Best asset is cap space. We just got Hood this year basically for it didn't we?

How so?

Are there lots of teams looking for overpaid and underproducing players?

Didn't you see how easy it was to move AK47? Teams love overpaid and underproducing players... Oh wait....

Rudy Gay got traded twice with an unmoveable contract. Hayward is a player that fits on almost any team... Gay is an isolation player. In a year you could trade him for expirings if we need flexibility.

This.

I don't know why some of you are panicking here. Hood and Burks could easily start next year and I doubt any of us would notice Hayward's absence.

We're vastly overrating Hayward folks. It's unbelievable. Parsons is a better player. Ariza is a better player. Neither come close to deserving the max.

Healthy AK would have been moveable... Hayward doesn't have those concerns.

Maybe, maybe not
No one knows what the future holds.

Maybe hayward blows his knee out

@LullOnSports: Paying a 3rd option on offense 15 mil/yr isn't ideal, but Wiggins playing on rookie contract for entirety of Hayward deal washes it out.

Gay is better.

And by all means, let's use Memphis, Sactown, and Toronto as models to follow..

If we can get that again then great, but we got that last year... this year's market is different. If a team wants to dump salary they have a ton of options... As of right now either Chicago or Houston, if Anthony decides to leave NY, will need to dump salary... no other teams need to dump salary.

Yet.

But you don't take that risk. You have yet to provide 1 reason to match this.

I'm waiting

We have an Oh-Folks moment from O Gatino!
