SVG turned Jennings/KCP/Singler/Smith/Drummond into that within a year and we are left with Dell.

I'll probably sound like I'm in a fantasy dream world when I ask this but I don't know how the dollars would shake up...is it feasible with our cap situation to get Bazemore, Lin, Morrow, and Taj Gibson this offseason?

Holiday/Lin/Frazier
Hield/Pondexter/Qualls or Barber or some other SL signee
Bazemore/Morrow/Cunningham
Davis/Gibson/Babbitt/Diallo
Asik/Ajinca

I'm guessing not bc that would mean either Lin or Bazemore took less than what's being projected for them

TBW proposed a Tyreke for Taj swap.
I've proposed a Cunningham for Morrow swap

Those get you half of what you want and are more or less cap space neutral. With Gee declining his option and them not picking up the option on Ennis, the Pels should have in the ball park of $23 million for Bazemore and Lin. That's a little tight with Bazemore's price creeping up every day, but it might be doable.

OKC wants cap space, right?

Three-way trade?

Bulls - Evans
Pels - Gibson & Morrow
Thunder - Douglas (non guaranteed) & 2 2nds

That's $10.2 going out and $12 coming back which covers Gee's contract and Douglas's non guaranteed contract anyway...

Leaves 24m like you said for Lin and Bazemore - 15-16m for Bazemore and 6.5m for Lin may work...use Room Exception on Diallo and what's left on Frazier/DL signee

The reke for taj swap makes a lot of sense

Baze at around 16 and Lin at 6-7 seems doable to me

Jrue/Fraizer/SL
Buddy/Lin/Douglas(?)
Baze/Qpon/Babbit(?)
AD/Taj/DC
Asik/Ajinca/Diallo

I don't know how many more ways I can come out and basically tell you guys not to expect anything for Tyreke. If a team took him for a fake 2nd, it would be a huge win for us at this point

Stretching is a real possibility

I really hope the cap is $96m like Lowe predicted in his podcast - makes those moves very doable

Ok stretching would be paying $10m over three years right? Wouldn't that mean we pay $3.4/yr against cap? Still think it would give us an opportunity to get Gibson. It would be harder but possible

Weren't you saying around the draft to expect something?

Rockets have tendered a qualifying offer to Donatas Motiejunas, person with knowledge of the move said. Not offering one to Terrence Jones.

Is he healthy enough even to get a fake 2nd for him? I fear that no one will touch him with his injury and that a stretch or buyout may be our only option.

If what people are saying is true and Rivers would command 8-10mil, Lin is going to get 10mil+.

Better player, can actually hit free throws

What?! I sure hope the media is overestimating these contracts. It is just getting stupid now.

Asik might not be good, but if you think they are gonna solve the center problem in this free agent class for a decent price, you are just being unrealistic. Better to hope he comes back healthy and plays like he did post AS break in 2015


The Warriors are allegedly trying to unload Bogut to clear space. Not sure if they are expecting much besides cap space. Would you give up a 2nd or something to get a 31 yr old very injury prone Bogut for 1 year if you could also move AA somewhere? Would eat up about $6.5M in cap space.

It was always going to be stupid, there is a HUGE imbalance between the supply of money and the supply of talent this year. If you sign a guy this offseason you better not miss on him.

Well, you're an overly emotional mouth-breather, so that's no surprise.
