Toronto can't just absorb him, that's the issue with them

And I think you are right. I think it might take more than just one second rounder to give him away

Again, that second rounder has a sticker value of 1-2 million dollars. Ajinca is owed over 11 million. So, you gotta think you are going to get 9 million dollars of value out of him as a player to do the deal. I don't know if any teams think he is worth that right now

We will find out by this afternoon

Whether this is accurate or not this conversation reminds me of draft night and how were indirectly saying we would trade our picks to get Diallo. I mean I almost feel like you are trying to prepare us for an Ajinca trade happening today. It may not but you are pushing this one harder than most.

Probably not right now, most teams already addressed their backup needs. Where his value will come is next offseason when teams are looking for backups to fill out the roster and you'll have more Lance Thomas style contracts that make Ajinca look decently valued. Especially if the minimum is going to be increasing as well.

I see your point but you can pay to move him next offseason too, and next offseason you might be able to give him away, so why pay to move him now when you can just cut Gee to get what you need?
