    Danny Green sucks. If he gets $12mil per season, that makes Batum's last contract a steal (even if he did suck it up last year).

    That would suck if he went back to Denver AND they get a future 1st. What an unfortunate turn of events Lemony Snickets style.

    Interesting ranking they have:

    15. Roy Hibbert: He opted in.
    16. Greg Monroe: 2 years, $30 million with the Knicks.
    17. Tristan Thompson: 5 years, $55 million with the Cavaliers.
    18. Timofey Mozgov: The team picked up his option.
    19. Paul Millsap: 2 years, $38 million with the Rockets.
    20. Khris Middleton: 4 years, $40 million with the Bucks.
    21. Robin Lopez: 2 years, $18 million with the Lakers.
    22. DeMarre Carroll: 4 years, $40 million with the Hawks.
    23. Thaddeus Young: 4 years, $44 million with the Nets.
    24. Wesley Matthews: 4 years, $52 million with the Mavericks, last year only $2 million guaranteed.

    If Middleton and Carroll are only getting 10M/yr then I hope we're in on that.

    Could we trade Wes Matthews to the Cavs today for Haywood's 10.5 MIL contract? After today it wouldn't matter since I doubt Wes come back but if we could do it now (under this year's contract) then it would give us option to get Hibbert today instead of tomorrow. Or 3 way with Indy for Hibbert.

    Cap guys, is any of this possible? @BrianFromWA and etc. I would have to think CLE would prefer Wes over Splitter.

    Can't trade a guy who doesn't have a contract for next year.

    I don't think so because he's technically a free agent. Haywood would will be on the Cavs if they choose to. That wouldn't apply to matthews

    Probably true but we are still in this year so didn't know if that mattered. I guess we could sign and trade him tomorrow then but that doesn't do much other then if we do the 3way. Otherwise it is just cap space for cap space if we traded him for Haywood.

    What you could probably do is do a sign and trade for Haywood to sabatoge the cap space. I suspect Cleveland would much rather have Matthews than Splitter. Then we can release Haywood

    So while the season is ended (and why we could trade Batum and Blake), Wes' contract is ending, and we can't trade him until July 9 at the earliest in a S&T

    How will they have enough cap space? Is this something they will sign after they grab their players?

    AD $145 million 5 year extension. Why can't we offer that much to Aldridge?

    Is it because AD was picked #1 and LA #2?
