re: League Rumors Thread - 6/17

I think have to still be interested in Brogden with Zo still being so raw, I just don’t know if we’ll be able to afford him in this market. Seems a lot of teams have interest in him at around 18-20 mil and idk if we’d be willing to do that. Might be smarter to go after someone like niko, and sign Payton to a cheap contract.

Kind of a “duh” because that is the weakest part of our roster right now.

well there is FA.
I would love to get Turner, but there's a bunch of FA capable centers that you don't have to break the bank on.

Ed Davis is a rebounding and defensive machine. He opted out of his contract and is looking for a multi year deal. not like he's getting $15M/yr or anything.

I'd rather sign Davis or Dedmon, or Cauley-Stein, or Noel, then trade #4 to ATL for 10 and their 2020 first. Sign Jaxson Hayes and you'll be fine at center for the foreseeable future. You pay a guy like Davis or Dedmon some money for 3 years, let them go, then you're ready to resign Hayes. that also gives him some time to be groomed and work on his shot, while watching high motor guys play the 5.

I would rather #10, future first, and signing Davis/Dedmon, than Turner/#18, even though i like Turner.

thats not a salary dump 

Turner signed a 4/$72M extension in October

Not a straight dump but I mean finally rid of the Solomon millstone

Missing a season due to injury is slightly different than missing a season due to causing an international incident.

What’s the story here?

I must’ve missed this. International incident?!?!?

What did he do (allegedly)?

I will say tho, you’d have to pay Turner 18 mil/ur, then Ingram is gonna want similar money at least next year, plus Jrues contract. It starts to add up here a bit

Ed Davis

Any chance if we acquire him we can give him #23?

There's like 30mil between the cap and the luxury tax line. That's where bird rights become really important. Plus Gayle is willing to spend

Jrue at 26
Turner at 18
Ingram at 18

I wouldn’t consider that bad at all with how much contracts are increasing yearly.

I was using what he said, what do you think it’ll be? 22?

How would you guys feel about Solo/4 for Turner/18

That's what Simmons was suggesting during his podcast with Russillo. I would do that in a heartbeat, but even with the upcoming dilemma of having to pay Sabonis next year, I don't know why Indy would do it.
