    He's the expiring salary needed to get the deal done.

    I think Maxey's value is high. I think if Philly wants him they're going to have to find the teams that will give us the kind of pieces we need to move Dame. I do not think that Houston is a player for Harden anymore after all of the money they've spent.

    I don't think that Joe should draw this out too far, if he really values Jaquez a lot and wants to wait around for him Joe should get a deal done soon and just have it finalize in a month. I think ideally Joe has already fielded offers from multiple teams that he can use as leverage in negotiations with whoever he deals Dame to. I think that it would be way better for the team to know the direction they're going in as soon as possible, just in order to know how they'll fill out the roster.

    I proposed a batshit 4 team deal (I know they hardly ever happen).

    The idea here is that Maxey wouldn't get us enough for Dame and they would need the assets from the Harden trade as well in order to get Dame. The Tobias expiring contract plus what anybody could get for Maxey does not equal Dame. Possibly what Morey could get for Maxey from one team and from Harden from another would be enough for Philly to land Dame.

    No chance Houston trades all that for Harden.

    Agreed there. Just seems like a very trivial detail to hammer on so many times...

    I don't have a person either and it's probably some agent BS, and maybe it's because Dame is built different I have a different expectation which ultimately falls on me. I just dont want this to be true where he's fucking our team on the way out.

    You jackasses should never have suggested Claxton. Looking at his stats and age, he'd be PERFECT next to Jeremy and Triple S.

    And now that I've seen these stats, it insures we won't get him :(

    I said it was batshit crazy!

    I'm not really sure what his value is right now. It's hard because they don't have cap space and they don't have many big contracts that they can trade right now.

    Yeah, sorry, I didn't flesh out the entirety of the offer. I know Philly would have to add more, was mainly just curious on Maxey's value. Should have just said that specifically.

    I don't think the Rockets would have interest in Harden anymore because of FVV and Brooks but this is the kind of thing that Morey will have to pull off to get Dame.

    Why not? Brooklyn got Bridges.
    For Cronin to make a good trade, he should be getting a Bridges-like player and some picks.

    Scoot Sharpe Amen Grant Claxton would be crazy awesome.

    Because Cronin has never negotiated a trade with a good return other than getting Grant which Damian set up for him.

    I agree Cronin is untested, but if Dame was that instrumental in the Grant trade, Grant would want to renegotiate his contract so he gets out ASAP after Dame leaves, since he was the only reason Grant wanted to be here.

    Here you go. Think New Orleans would want Harden?
