What's new

News, rumors and buzz around the draft and free agency

If we didn't have Exum's contract, it's very likely that we would have paid more for the contracts of Bojan ($20+ instead of $17), Davis ($6+ instead of room MLE), Mudiay, etc. Some might could consider that Exum's contract helped us.

Plus, it looks like Green wanted to go back to the Clippers all along. He waited for all the dust to settle before re-signing to a decent deal.

I’m talking about offloading him into cap space. If he can be as good as everyone says, this should be easy. If it requires an asset (two second rounders), then fine. If nobody bites on him + 2 second rounders, we should be asking ourselves some serious questions. Here are guys we could have had if he was moved to cap space:

1. JaMychal Green.
2. Aminu.
3. Marcus Morris.
4. Jerami Grant?
 
Seriously though:

Miami gets Westbrook
Utah gets Winslow
OKC gets Dragic, Bam, Exum, Herro, draft compensation from Miami, 2nds from Utah

Miami gets their guy and save money. OKC gets young players, picks and save money (this year and tons starting next year). Utah gets a starter at PF.

I haven't given up on Exum, but Winslow fits a direct need more than Exum does. If OKC is willing to dump Grant, I don't see them wanting Winslow who makes more for longer than Exum.

I think he would take more than 2 seconds... so I guess we are asking ourselves some serious questions.

Guys who cost a first to move... Crabbe... one year overpaid deal... Moe Harkless... good player on a fair deal... Iggy... good player on a slightly overpaid one year deal.

So it’s safe to say it’s cost a first at this point. If it cost a first it may not be worth it.

Miami will say no because they have high hopes for Bam, especially after they got rid of Hassan. Try somebody else.
 
Luc would be a great option, IMO. See how he does coming back from that injury, and he might give us some great defensive presence. Tony Jones believes there isn't a chance that Carter would come. Not sure why. I don't think he's cited "sources" on that.

Because at this point in his career Vince probably wants to go somewhere where he can get minutes. Here he would just be sitting on the bench unless someone got hurt.
