why would he leave luka, they should be even better once hardaway comes back he has a good role on that team, theres no reason for him to leave
not yet, he said the Grant deal could be expanded and completed next week just to allow for more flexibility/exception generation from one side or the other. also could have cash changing hands and one of the teams could want to do it next calendar year. Sidebar, he said thybulle might stay in Philly, and the PJ Tucker wants a deal like Batum is rumored to be getting. He's just trying to get another offer so force Miami to up theirs. Ayton might not get a max from anyone. Portland ain't happening. Suns are telling teams they're gonna match.
Draft was boring, when are we getting Thybulle or someone else to start at SF. I think we just need a lock down defender and facilitator at that position with the other 4 starters. Prime Batum would be nice but I’ll take Thybulle. Make it happen.
Nas would start but Thybulle would be his primary backup which would be awesome. Batum would be cool too.
Couldn’t find the answer on Larry Coon’s FAQ, with regards to cap holds and the MLE, is there an order of operation work around where you can use the full MLE if the holds are below the tax and you don’t go over with the MLE? Or is that one of those against the spirit of the rules things and can only use it after signing FA’s so would be left with TPMLE?
The primary thing is staying below the tax apron, not just the tax, when using the full MLE. Using the normal MLE hard caps a team at the apron. We'd be able to use it as long as we do not go over that amount.
This is not my number one option but: Bledsoe for Green. Bledsoe is perfect for OKC, who can eat the salary but save some money and the roster spot. Green is a serviceable 4/5 and we get him for basically 4 million since we would have to eat Bledsoes 4m guaranteed anyways
I read that Batum is going to want 10 million instead of the chump change the Clippers signed him for...I'd sure as hell love to see him back...Joe Ingles is going to be interesting to see how he looks recovered.
I would send out Winslow and Keon + a 2nd round pick for Green. I still would think that an expiring $19m contract could still be valuable for us, next summer’s free agency class is pretty good. So I would rather just wait for a right trade for a $19m salary. Or would keeping Bledsoe mean not having the full MLE?
