I think teams no longer playing can make moves. Probably need to use this previous season's #s for the cap, which definitely is a bit odd.
Read the tweet, Cleveland can't trade Lebron until after the finals.
I know this was just a snarky response to an original snarky post but.... Not necessarily. It is an opt in our out that he triggers. Maybe some could claim it is a forgone conclusion he opts out but I don't think so now with the cap going up so much next year summer. Especially if they win a title this year. Although it isn't as much about money anymore for LeBron as much is it is about who the team surrounds him with.
both those contracts have team options for next year so Mil can clear the capspace, giving them about 22 mil to spend this summer if they desire
possibly, but does Philly WANT more than that? I don't think so. I think Milwaukee would live to get rid of Mayo's contact to sign a legit PF and bring Parker off the bench
Parker is going to be a star. Why would they want him off the bench?
The clippers got worse IMHO. Less defense and even less big men.
It was rumored Char was considering offering up their pick just to get Stephenson off their team
And they traded for a guy that plays their deepest position. I assume they're going to trade Redick or Crawford for a SF, or the might decline Crawfords option so they have $9M. If DeAndre leaves, they're absolutely screwed, because they'll only have $4M to $9M in cap space to fill starting center, backup center, backup PF, and backup SF. If DeAndre returns and they play Stephenson at the 3 they'll still be worse than last year because they will have even less of a bench.
I bet they deal Redick and sign Ray Allen and Francisco Garcia for vet mins.
they'd want Batum for him which as much as I think we need to explore trading Nic I'm not sure that's the right deal. If you have Stephenson and Crawford at 2 you don't need Allen, plus if Allen returned I don't think he'd go there
Doubt it, I bet they'd take Kaman and next year's second.
