Montrezl Harrell, I mean. He’s so important to the Clippers but apparently he’s available on the trade market since they can’t afford to re-sign him this coming summer. Who would you give up for him? He is a near All Star level PF/C and his contract is only $6 million.
The only reason he'd be sort of available is because he won't be making 6M next year. https://clutchpoints.com/clippers-r...-at-least-20-million-annually-in-free-agency/
Right so they would want one back in return to match salaries plus a #1 pick. Unless someone had room under the cap and they just gave up a #1. Otherwise why trade him?
Trade him to bring in a player who is NOT on an ending contract so that they get an actual player instead of losing Harrell for nothing. If they're trading for an expiring contract, why trade him at all? He IS an expiring contract. Or is that what you're saying?
I think Harrell would be the biggest god send for the future. We definitely need a guy like that, however what’s the price? I think the highest we could go is Skal, Trent, Nas, and a pick.
I wouldn't trade him at all if I was them and I doubt they will. But if they do because of future salary like the link suggests, then they at least need to get a high draft pick out of it. You are not going to get equal value for his 6 million. But this is all moot. They have a very rich owner. He is not going to worry about salary when they could win a championship this year.
yep they have to pay the Bill's and would need a first back. I enjoy his game a lot but so does everyone else in the league.
So Clippers cannot afford his extension but we can? He will make way more than Nurk this summer. I think around 17-20(Atlanta can go even higher). And personally i would give up any player not named Dame,CJ and Nurk for him.
The Clippers are trying to win a championship this season. They're not going to trade Harrell for crappy expirings and a pick. That makes their team worse this year. It's more likely they'd just let him walk after making a run this summer. The Clippers went all-in this season when they traded for PG13 so they're not going to make any moves that could jeopardize the short title window they could end up with. The only way they'd trade Harrell is if it was with another player like Harkless to get a better player for this year.
They gave up 6 picks for Kawhi and George. If they're trading away any core pieces, you can be sure they want to restock their future picks in return.
They could pass OKC. There's so many games left though... It's not unrealistic for them to get back in the mix for 3-8. It's also not unrealistic for them to be a lottery team.
I don't believe he's available. LAC are a title contender with him. They will figure out contracts and changes in the summer.
I wasn't even paying attention to the standings. I great to see you posting....maybe you have been and I haven't noticed, but awesome to notice it. You bring a lot to the forum in a great way
