I don't think we can read too much into anything any GM says at this point. We all know about smokescreens and all these guys are going to leave ALL their options open. Perhaps that is Plan A at this time or perhaps it is Plan C and Olshey just wanted to mix things up. I don't read too much into any of that stuff.
True but still olshey would be a fool to go after pek; especially when he is rumored to get 12 mil per this summer. That eats almost our entire cap. There are too many holes in our line-up to make a gamble like this.
That part's specifically called out as illegal in the CBA. The NBA is just looking for shenanigans like that during the FA Frenzy--and I think the high-profile FA's are the ones that are scrutinized the most.
Maybe we can get them and Pek to hold off until July 19th, and then we can just send them Batum for Pek in a S&T deal.
