    Yeah Diallo was a good player on both sides. Limited offensively but solid. Would be a very good tax-MLE target.

    It only took 3 years before ET became an expiring and thus moveable contract. :blink:

    Hilarious. That team is not finishing above LeBron and AD.

    We need big depth. A guy that plays good defense and can defend a little bit out on the perimeter and inside, and he finishes well around the rim (63% from 2pt last year), can hit from in-between (50% from 10-16ft last year) can knock down FTs (75% last year), can rebound (13rpg per 36 last year), and he's still only 22 years old? That's not intriguing to you?

    Diallo seems like such an Olshey pickup.

    If they strike out, maybe its a dumping place for harkless (so we can sign Kanter)

    Can someone tell me? If we dump Hark, do we open full MLE?

    We only needed to dump 2 M before the Turner trade, which we could do with just Skal. We picked up some salary in the deal though so I’m not sure if just dumping Skal is enough now. I think they could dump Skal and revoke Layman’s QO to open up the full MLE though....not sure on that one.

    So, if we could sign Kanter for full MLE but have to give up Hark OR layman/skal...would you?

    I know Quick said that but it's not true. I've shown the math several times. We need to cut enough to use the Full-MLE and sign 3-4 other guys. Do you really want 3 rookie free agents to fill out our roster or do we need enough to sign better vet minimum guys too?

    If I remember correctly, I believe we added an additional 660 k in salary in the trade for Bazemore.
