Plausible destinations for our vets?

Nets don't have a lot of salary next season, only big contracts the have are Claxton $26mil CamJohson $21mil Finney-Smith $15mil. So I'd imagine they prefer to just keep Simmons/Bojan and cut that salary.

If Finney-Smith was playing worse and not starting maybe they'd send him to us instead of Bojan.

I tend to think a trade to a team with more players on similar 2 year salary would be more likely to get completed.

 

Ant to the Bulls for Vucevic makes some sense. Maybe if there is a way we can give them a bunch of 2nd rounders but get our pick back or something then that would be awesome.

 

the Blazer poster at RealGM who, months before it happened, said the Blazers were chasing Avdija hard, said there have been lots of discussion about moving Simons over the last 24 hours. He says an executive told him he believes Simons asked to be traded

 

Rockets upgrade their backup center for a Sengum/Ayton duo
Rockets cut their PG cap hit from $45 million to $25 million while getting younger from 31 to 25

 

Sounds good to me if true.

Do wish Cronin was more proactive then waiting for Powell/Hart/Dame/Ant/etc to ask out before making improvements to the roster.

Also there are so many players that are untradable until Dec15th - the time to do this was over the summer.

 

How many draft picks do we get?

 

Good catch, yeah we probably have to give up a 2nd rounder.

Ant may have had value for a FRP in years prior - I doubt that is the case any longer. Will be pleasantly surprised if Cronin can get one for either or both of those guys.

 

Smart hasn't been healthy much in Memphis, maybe they're ready to get someone to fill in for Ja

 

So we get nothing out of it for our future. Might as well let them walk then.

 

Some bad blood between these franchises or this type of deal could make sense

 

Blazers get another son of a Blazer;

 

Lakers could make sense as an Ant destination - but if were trying to hold out for a FRP with a Grant trade maybe that stops Joe from considering sending Ant there;

 

That would be a good deal for LAL imho??? All of those players are underperforming. And not needing a FRP.

 

I gotta give it a C for creativity!

 

I believe that; Simons hasn't looked happy or motivated.

 

We need to trade Ant for a FRP and expirings, already have too many players as is. I’m guessing a late FRP and some players we can buy out who can go to other teams.

 

We are in the unique position to be able to send multiple rotation veterans to a playoff team who needs a boost.

Grant
RWIII
Reath
Thybulle
Simons
Ayton

Pick your meal.

I could see the Lakers, Mavs, and Kings all looking to make moves. Maybe Philly.

 

Love it. Whatever gets us the best package of picks is what we should do
