Ruin the reputation of the players you want to get rid of. In other words, call up Canzano. He's your man. barfo
the fact that they would buy him out may be a big fat warning sign, also the Clips need a big backup and he and Doc are supposedly tight, so Clips likely have the edge in any case
Just because I don't post in every thread that has some veteran scrub, usually on an expiring contract, being gained for Leonard and Robinson doesn't mean I don't see the absurdity in such an approach, either.
Again, regarding Hawes, there is no guarantee he'd be back in Portland, and you'd end up overpaying for a bench center who would be making more money than your starting center. Then, you have to re-sign RoLo at some point, or let him go and have LMA back to defending opposing centers. Hawes was never going to happen at the deadline. It was cute seeing everybody post it over and over and over, but financially, along with on the court, it made little sense.
