Will he turned down twice the money offered by Portland to stay with us? I doubt it. Loving Portland doesn't mean much. It is just a marketing term.
Anybody else feel like this is what Afflalo was supposed to do for us back in the day. Loved the way Rodney played last night. As soon as I saw him galloping I knew something was gonna happen.
So, i've got another question. Is it possible to engage another team with cap space to orchestrate a sign&trade for Hood? For example, a East team with cap space sign Hood to a multiyear deal and then they trade him to us for Leonard's expiring plus picks or Zach Collins is it possible???
Pretty sure there are rules that say you have to wait so long to trade a newly acquired player. You can release but not trade. Not positive though.
You knew it was over when Hood came galloping into the game. That shit was hilarious. Then he turned it on.
Whoa. Bitch. Step off. Don’t come at me rookie. (Where the FUCK have you been? And how the FUCK have you been?)
No. Just stop trying to make this work. Hood either signs for $4.15 million or we use the Tax-MLE on him for $5.3 million (which makes retaining Kanter or Curry impossible) or we open up the Full-MLE via trade and are hardcapped.
Or we somehow dump Turner and Meyers and use the resulting 14M of cap space and the Room Exception to resign Hood, Kanter, Aminu, and/or Layman.
Just living the life. Glad to see you on here - makes me really happy actually. Happy you’re doing well, too!
Yeah no. As much of an uphill battle that would be.... The rest of the league has that one sniffed out as to wtf we’d be doing....
I actually think we can get Hood to sign a 1 year 4.15 mil deal, it’s more than he made this year and I’m sure he understands that contracts will be coming off the books after next season. Kanter, on the other hand, I see pretty much no way of keeping. I’d love to but the guy has been making 17-19 mil per the past few years and with more teams with money than big time FAs I see someone paying him, especially with how he’s playing now. Maybe all the FA centers drive him down but he’s still only 27 and very skilled. As for Curry, do we need him if Simons can contribute? I don’t know? If we can keep Hood and Kanter than I’d be pretty happy with our roster until Nurk comes back, guessing we’d let Chief walk but Zach might be ready to start next year, I wouldn’t mind him and Enes starting until the Beast is back. With the way Skal looked he could get some burn at 4 and 5 and Hark could play in certain lineups at 4 also. Enes/MH/Skal Collins/Skal/Hark Hark/Hood/ET/Layman CJ/Hood/Layman Dame/Simons That’s ^ some roster flexibility, and looks even better with Nurk&Turk. Of course this all hinges on some way to keep Enes, otherwise we grab an Ed or someone of that caliber to be a place holder till around the all star break. Thoughts? Fuck ETs contract.
Theres no way Kanter makes more than $12M, and at that point I think he resigns with us. The market isnt set up that way and most teams have good Cs.
