re: The Official Trade Proposal Thread

FAs arent an option unless we move BI, CJ, and/or Nance plus renounce Jonas. We have -$60m in cap space which includes about $23m in holds for Jonas.

Spotrac

Any signing of an RFA would require making a deal with their team as a sign and trade as a result.

Knicks can only pay him that much if they want to let OG walk.

If they give OG the raise he’s looking for, and bring Precious back on about 5 million, they will be over the tax line.

Their only hope to stay under the second apron would be sending iut Randle and taking very little money back

Dolan is notoriously cheap despite bringing in the most money in the league, no way he’s paying that 2nd apron penalties

Only 2 million of Bojan’s contract is guaranteed, they could cut him, which would save them 17 mil in cap space. Now I don’t know if they would do that, but at this point I’d rather have Hartenstein than Bojan.

They are at 112.8 for 9 players if they keep their young cheap players, and decline Bojan. If they pay OG 37.5 million they are at 150.3, 17 to Hartenstein they are at 167.5. A few mill for their rookie and they are at 170 for 12 players, still well under the second apron. Precious for 5 and they are still only at 175.5 for 13 players. It really comes down to weather or not they prefer Bojan or Hartenstein.

I like that trade, but only if we can flip Barnes, Nance, 8 and 21 for someone else.

Maybe expand it and send those 4 assets to Atlanta for Murray and Okongwu, or Spurs send 4 instead of 8 so we can take Reed

I don’t think we drop off at all. I actually think we are, at worst, the same. Of that me and McNamara agree.

I do think you’d want to flip CJ, 8, 21 for something of note

Trae or Murray fit that well. Maybe try to get Isaac in a 3-team deal

Use MLE or BAE for Bitadze or Hartenstein or Wagner

Murray / Dyson / Jose
Herb / Hawkins
Trey / Barnes / Ryan
Zion / Isaac / JRE
Collins / Bitadze / Karlo

You’re better defensively, have more shooting, and financial flexibility

I'd do the kings trade and then use the ammo combined with our other assets to get a true superstar

I like the trade that McNamara posted today a lot Pels get Harrison Barnes, Zach Collins, 8th pick, 2027 Kings 1st, 2028 swap with Kings, 2029 Kings 1st, and 2030 swap with Kings

That’s a fricking horrible trade. We unloading Zion to while we are at it?

Problem is we did that once, along with a trio of good young stars and what did Griff do with all those picks? Not interested in going down that road again.

Oh, really? Which one?

I see alot of posts about Bridges being available, and the Nets wanting to rebuild.

Could Houston go all in?

Rockets: Bridges, Ingram
Nets: Jalen Green, Dyson, Adams, Jeff Green, # 21, their 2 future picks and swap rights back from houston, 2 additional Pels 1sts of their choosing

Pels: Cam Johnson, Jabari Smith Jr, Jock Landale, #3

At 3 we take Sheppard and get our lead guard. With JSJ and Cam we get two guys that could play small ball 5 for us, and also backup Zion, Landale can be a minutes eater. Re-sign Naji and throw the full MLE at the best center you can get.

CJ/Sheppard/Jose
Herb/Hawk/Ryan
Trey/Naji
Zion/Cam/EJ
MLE/JSJ/Landale/Karlo

That would be a big switchable team that you can adjust starting and closing lineups to whatever you please with a frickTON of shooting for Zion to play off of.

Houston does it because they go all in cashing in two young guys and 3 picks for two “star” players.

Nets do it to get their picks back as well as additional 1sts. They forgo the #3 pick in favor of Dyson and 21 seeing Dyson as a better pick than anyone in this particular draft.

Ingram for JSJ, salary filler in Landale and #3 is fair for both teams

Dyson, 21 and 2 future firsts for Cam is also fair, albeit a slight overpay, but we do the overpay for Sheppard who I believe Griff loves
