Merged: |0fficial| Trade Deadline

Rebounding has never been the issue. He can score and rebound with the best of them. He just doesn't play a lick of defense, and Terry isn't exactly a defensive motivator.

 

Ya I'm prepared for this rumor to resurfice. Wouldn't be surprised if the Blazers did have interest in him. Probably could get him for fairly cheap with out giving up the house for him.

 

I want Jabari Parker. Parker + Monroe..... but I'm sure they would want CJ.

 

I'm not big on Monroe for a few reasons, one of is that he has been very bad defensively his whole career and thats one of the big issues we have to work on. Yea he would help us out offensively in easy buckets especially in the low post but scoring hasn't' been an issue for this team. Then there is his contract which has a player option for this year that he will most likely use so its essentially a 1 year rental and with our cap situation we are't going to be able to afford to compete vs other teams for him because he sign as a FA with Milwaukie and he isn't going to have played 3 years there so I do believe we wont have his early bird rights and can only sign him for 120% of his last contract which with the cap expected to go even higher is probably a pipe dream.

 

I see John Henson had the DNP last night for the Bucks. His minutes are dwindling. Not a huge fan but others on this site seem to be. He would come cheaper...

 

I really really like Parker but i'm not giving up CJ for Parker.

 

If we're gonna make a move, I'd rather compile our assets and go after a star/semi-star, not a guy getting DNPs in Milwaukee. Wait for Boogie or AD. Hell, even Noel.

We have enough singles. Need a triple or HR sometimes.

SMH. Excuse the baseball analogy. Last time.

 

AD is wasting away on that team, but he's still young and I don't think they'll move him.

 

Seems to me the most realistic guys on the market who fit our needs are

Lopez
Noel
Cousins

But we would have to give up a pretty penny to get any of them. For starters, it would seem that CJ or Crabbe would be on the move. I think one of the reasons we re-signed Crabbe is that he can step into CJ's role if the right deal comes up.

Let the blasphemy begin!

 

Holy SHIT he's hittin' swish3s now!?

Did you see him yank Andre Drummond's crankle at 2:00?

Shit..... If he could stay healthy...

 

Tim Frazier is our secret agent. This will happen soon enough.

Dame on AD:

Also from this summer:

 

That's pretty much what I have been saying for a year now. I like CJ, but I'm not sold on a small backcourt and we have the depth at shooting guard to absorb that loss. CJ is worth more than Noel though. Quite a bit more. The problem is that CJ is a PPP right now, which makes him VERY hard to trade.

 

PPP?

Also, CJ isnt playing as well tight now than last year. Does that decrease his value, or turn some teams off thinking he may regress? I dont think CJ's value is as much as it was last year.

 

Except that of those, we only have rumors about one of them. There has been ZERO indication that Brooklyn wants to trade Lopez or that Sacto wants to trade Cousins. Monroe is obviously available, and equally obviously undesirable. Even Kanter is probably unavailable now they traded Ilyasova (probably to force the coach to play Kanter more).

 

For all those people saying "they'd probably want CJ" - most of the players you're talking about, the player they'd ask for is Lillard. CJ is nice, but he's an Eric Gordon/Bradley Beal kind of guy, and those guys wouldn't land you a premier big man.

 

PPP - Points Per Possession?

 

Show me where it's the other way round and I'll get excited. Half the league wants to play with Davis.

 

Poison Pill Provision

http://www.cbafaq.com/salarycap.htm#Q90

"Poison Pill" isn't a defined term in the CBA, but there are a couple situations that are commonly referred to as a poison pill -- meaning a contract clause that creates a potential difficulty because the cap accounting can vary from the norm.

The first is when a team extends a first round draft pick's rookie scale contract (see question number 60) and then trades the player between the date the extension is signed and the date it takes effect. When this happens, the player's trade value for the receiving team is the average of the salaries in the last year of the rookie scale contract and each year of the extension. The sending team uses the player's actual salary when calculating their total outgoing salary, and uses the current-year maximum salary in place of the (unknown) maximum salary for a future season, if necessary.

For example, if a player on the last year of his rookie scale contract earns $2 million in 2011-12, and his contract is extended for four seasons starting at $10 million, with 4.5% raises, then his salary in each season will be:

Season Salary
2011-12 $2,000,000
2012-13 $10,000,000
2013-14 $10,450,000
2014-15 $10,900,000
2015-16 $11,350,000
If this player is traded during the 2011-12 season, then his outgoing salary from the sending team's perspective is his actual salary -- $2 million. But the player's incoming salary from the receiving team's perspective is $8.94 million -- the average of all five seasons. Such a player would be very difficult to trade -- a legal trade can only be accomplished if both teams add additional salary to the transaction, or if they include a third team that is able to absorb excess salary.

The Gilbert Arenas provision (see question number 45) has also been described as containing a poison pill. This is in reference to the third season of contracts signed according to this provision, which can contain a substantially larger salary than the first two seasons. Houston used this provision to its advantage when signing Jeremy Lin and Omer Asik in 2012.

 

He has a $12M contract and is not worth that IMO. Much rather get Brook for a bigger price.
