OT Free Agency Round The League

[Sarni]

Miles Plumlee? Hello?

I don’t see a point to be honest. He makes even more, also has two years remaining from what I remember and is just as bad if not worse. That was probably a top 3 baffling contract at the time because it was clear he didn’t have any potential to get better and nobody was bidding for him.

I might be wrong, but I think @BonesJones was simply saying we could trade Leonard for a contract just as shitty if not worse if we really wanted to. I don't think he is advocating trading Leonard for Miles Plumlee.

Now, Turner for Miles Plumlee I could get behind. It saves us over $11 million the next two seasons and generates an over $5 million TPE.

What da fuck ? Mozgov get's traded 100 Times with that shitty Contract???

Who was the dude that got traded like 5 times last off-season or the season before? Some of this is straight up comical.

I mean, wasn’t Ridnour traded like 4 times in a week at some point? But Mozgov’s contract is big and he’s ugly.

He’s been sent to prison for Grand Theft?

From espn:
2016 coming home to roost
Though front offices have certainly seen it coming, even the most grizzled among them are impressed by the sheer tightness of the free-agent market. The money and years are simply not there for anyone other than top-flight talent, somewhat a function of the decision not to implement cap smoothing.

"2016 basically hosed two years worth of free agents," one exec said. "The restricted free agents are really feeling it."

But it's not just the fact that 40 percent of player salaries are being paid from deals that originated in 2016. A confluence of other factors exists. For one, the dominance of the Warriors has persuaded several teams to lay off big deals. There's also a strong belief that teams are getting smarter about the allocation of resources, and the majority of contracts are for one-year terms. An interesting wrinkle in this regard: The league loves to talk about the value of roster continuity but doesn't love continuity enough to make it a priority when there's legal tender and cap space at stake.

Yet another example of how the players will always make the short-term cash grab choices that are bad for the league and often bad for themselves in the bigger picture. The owners wanted salary cap smoothing but the players union rejected it.

The 2018 free agents are paying the price for the greed of their associates in 2016.

Just read this and it made me wonder?

@BigGameDamian was right... untouchable

$10M/year cheerleader.

Exactly my take.

I don't want to get political, but it really seemed like the union was catering to the top 10% of players instead of the average player. Now, the bottom 90% are suffering, and the top 10% are joining superteams.

First, you find amber. Hidden deep inside is a mosquito that stung Leonard along time ago, you extract that, mix it with genetic materials from a frog, and bingo Dino DNA!

 

[santeesioux]

I wish we could trade Turner and Meyers for equally bad contracts just to have some new bench warmers to bitch about.

Blazers should have went after Smart and Bjelica

I guarantee you the Knicks would take Turner for Joakim Noah. Do you really want something like that?

If they give us a 1st or 2

 

[hoopsjock]

Unfortunately no trade with the names Turner or Leonard in them will result in us getting a 1st round pick.

Mozgov is getting traded left and right...why not Turner?

 

[hoopsjock]

Someone was trying to say the Spurs would for sure match.

Did you read the last couple pages of this thread before typing that?

Man... Why don't you look at what he's been traded for before making this post?

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Agreed, although I'm leery of Smart after the last time we signed a Celtics free agent who couldn't shoot, and maybe Wade Baldwin can be our Marcus Smart.

Also wish we'd've had a shot at SloMo, but Memphis might be the perfect place for him.

He could get traded tomorrow - if you were willing to take back Chandler Parsons.

LBJ signing as an FA left and right, why not us

I see you made the same point first.

1. The post smugfuckery can fuck itself.

2. Jettisoning a cancerous Dwight Howard and ending up with a guy the Hornets originally drafted who is alright at defense should not be classified as a failure.

3. This is not in the same category as Mozgov (in a roundabout way) for Biyombo. Biyombo is a specialist and Noah is a corpse.
