Yikes, we're in trouble

We're over already, by S&T needs. If PA isn't panicking, neither am I.

Oh wow... the choice of words there. lol.

 

[PDXFonz]

Wonder who it was...

Wow great opportunity for Mr Bigshot.

 

[Minstrel]

Are you posting from the past? Can you tell "yesterday me" not to eat that burrito?

Yesterday-you wouldn't listen, though.

 

[Minstrel]

Wow great opportunity for Mr Bigshot.

Is it? Seems like he could be ripe for holding the bag when it falls apart, if James leaves next year.

If James stays, then it's a pretty smooth transition into being an executive.

making room for CP3 maybe???

The Spurs? Definitely. I think that if they don't get Paul, they may turn their sights to George Hill. Hill is a Popovich favorite--supposedly broke his heart to trade him for Kawhi Leonard.

was responding to the Tim Frazer trade.

 

[KingSpeed]

Billups offered 5 year deal to run Cavs front office.

Thats not how you spell Lebron James....

[Cippy91]

Lol

 

[Minstrel]

See, ripcityboy--it's not all doom and gloom. A small market team can have the very best Twitter account in all the league.

 

[PDXFonz]

Wow that is awesome, and C got him too. Love having these two (Dame CJ)on our team, both very active around the league. If they can't attract FA's at some point then it's probably never going to happen.

 

[Cippy91]

Remember Adam?

 

[PDXFonz]

Remember Adam?

How could we forget. "WHAT!?!"

I wonder if Harkless/Crabbe, #20, and #26 would be enough for #10. I'd do it. #10 and #15 could maybe get you up to #6 to take Isaac.

So that's Crabbe, Hark, 15, 20, and 26 for Issac?

No thank you.

No thank you.

It's a big risk, I mean if Olshey was 100% sold on Isaac... we'd be cuttin somewhere around 25+mil too... I could get behind it.

 

[PDXFonz]

I would laugh if the Spurs trade LA to a lottery team!

No thank you.

Don't underestimate the Power of the Cap Side.

 

[illmatic99]

It's a big risk, I mean if Olshey was 100% sold on Isaac... we'd be cuttin somewhere around 25+mil too... I could get behind it.

And how exactly does the team get better by saving PA some $? We'd still be over the cap.

If Z Collins was there, I'd do:
#15, #20, Turner, + Meyers ($25.6M Out)
for
#10, Afflalo, + Koufus ($20.5M In)

Then try and flip Afflalo for something of use. If not, then cut him for the $10M savings (he only has $1.5M guaranteed).

Interesting idea, but I'm pretty sure we're targeting someone at #15. So, it would probably look more like
#20, #26, Harkless, whoever for #10 + whomever
