Give me a break. If Aminu is "freely open", where is his defender? The logical answer is that he is double teaming somebody better/more consistent and that is a bad thing. I know, how dare I make assumptions or jump to conclusions. My mistake for giving a serious answer.
Hill is completely unplayable. Why do this instead of just Leonard, one of Swanigan or Stausakas, and a 1st for Mirotic?
better would be Turner + Baldwin + 1st for Mirotic + Wesley Johnson Pels get to unite good friends Jrue and Turner. Blazers audition Mirotic and possible clear major cap next year
Why do you keep answering the question with things that are irrelevant? It is a simple yes or no answer. By your avoidance of answering the question should I "assume" you prefer the shooters to be covered then. I actually like it when someone is freely open.
From our end or theirs? From ours because because you don't have to play Hill but we know the team will play Turner (so send him away). From there's? No idea why they would agree to it.
Trust me, I'm on the Turner would be better off the team train too (I may have even started it) but if we have to take back Hill it's not worth giving up a 1st. Mirotic is a free agent this summer so if he left and we lost our pick and had to take on Hill's contract that really doesn't seem like a no-brainer to me.
I never knew about Holiday and Turners relationship. In every scenario I just had us trading Meyers. But keeping their franchise guy happy might be worth the extra $7M or whatever.
I know this is dumb because our GM doesn't seem to want to be creative enough to pull something like this off BUT every time there is a trade like this where we get a player we wouldn't want (in this case Wesley Johnson) and knowing that we can't combine his salary with others, I immediately start thinking of what team we could ship him to as part of this trade. Since we'd be getting a PF, combining Aminu with Wesley Johnson gets us up to $13.1 Million in expiring contracts (plus we could throw in smaller contracts like Stauaskas). So then I start thinking about all the possibilities that could bring if we added a 3rd team.
"Wait, is hoopsjock trying to say that we can actually make more than one trade before the deadline?"
Under your scenario it would have to be one trade. Wesley Johnson cannot be packaged in a trade if he was just traded to us.
Evan is quite close with those Philly guys. He said on his pod last week that Iggy made him a best man in his wedding and even named his daughter after him. No joke
I believe it also saves 17 MIL off next years cap numbers. I don't see a reason Mirotic would leave unless we didn't even offer him.
