Utah Trade Deadline Discussion

Some of you act like stretching a contact is such an easy thing to do. $3+ per year for 5 years is a pain. Look at Detroit, they have to pay Josh Smith $5 per year until 2020-21 and it really hurts their ability to have quality depth.

It is a guarantee that $3+ per year will be frowned upon for 5 years. That is a certainty. A pick in the late teens being worth it in the end is not.

3M of a 108M - 110M cap is basically a minimum contract. If you are the Pelicans and that extra $8M means 16M in tax then it's an easy sell. Chicago would likely not waive, but as strapped as NO is I would think they'd try to move Hill and stretch Asik. Not sure they can move Hill.
 
To lighten the mood...

A Mexican magician tells the audience he will disappear on the count of 3. He says, "uno, dos..." *poof* ...
...
He disappeared without a tres.

You are right. It's small, but not insignificant. If it was easy, New Orleans would have done it by now.

They would obviously wait until the last day to do it considering you pay his current years salary no matter what. Doing it last year means you would have paid nearly $4 million for 7 years.

It's simple, they'll stretch him this season if they don't move him. Tacking him on to a deal in which you acquire Mirotic makes even more sense. Simply offloading Asik and giving up a 1st does not make sense.
 
I don't know if we're going to be able to handle another two weeks of this. Hoping DL can make a solid trade soon so we can all overdose on a rush of trade endorphins.
 
Is Asik and a pick that will fall in the teens worth the cost of $25 million? I hate that we'd handicap ourselves so much.

I'd entertain Asik and Ajinca for two #1's if NO is intent on going all out for Davis.

You take Shumpert to get that first.

I'd do Favors for Shumpert and the Cleveland 1st. If Hood was part of the deal I would want the Brooklyn pick as now the Cavs shed Shumpert's salary and could play Hood at SG and Favors at C. Though I think the Cavs are going to do everything they can do to move J.R. Smith and TT. Though doing either will definitely cost them. They're lucky to have that Brooklyn pick and I'll be surprised if they don't trade it in a salary dump.
