Kahn trying to trade Roy

[KeepOnRollin]

I just think it's hilarious that he thinks he can trade Roy. It's not going to happen.

Actually I think it is easy to trade Roy if you wanted to. His contract isn't guaranteed next year so you only pay the pro-rated share of the rest of this season. Plus teams know he is either going to retire any day or that they can buy him out for 70% of what is left on this season's deal.

A team looking to clear some cap space would trade for him in the right deal.

There are plenty of other guys out there who are in the last year of their deal.

Some teams prefer a guy who won't play vs one that will. And this one can be easily bought out where some other players can't.

Eh, if they're in the last year of their deal you can just cut them. No need to buy them out.

Geniuses are often mocked. Therefore Kahn likely is a genius?

What makes you say this? Why would Roy even consider agreeing to a buyout. This year's salary is 100% guaranteed. Players usually agree to a buyout so they can sign on with another team. That's not going to happen for Roy. He'd be a fool to settle for one penny less than he's owed.

I knew there was a fallacy there somewhere.

Just as long as it isn't a phallus-y...

I'll give Kahn full marks for knowing it's time to pull the plug on a blown pick. If he can somehow flip that blown pick into a really good player like Millsap then good for him. The only cardinal sin I can think of in personnel is holding onto a guy for years out of stubborness or pride (see: Colangelo, Bryan and Bargnani, Andrea)

I'd just like to point out that Derrick Williams has been playing very well lately. They wouldn't dare trade him right now. Better to hold onto him into the summer and see if he can continue this play.


Also, stay the hell away from Pek.

since we matched MIN's contract, Nic has to consent to any trade (though he'll get ~$6M for doing so) and cannot be traded to MIN.

If a team matches an offer sheet and retains its free agent, then for one year they cannot trade him without his consent, and during that year cannot trade him at all to the team that signed him to the offer sheet.

Was there talk of trading him? I think most of the focus has been on Hickson or Matthews.

 

[BrianFromWA]

As far as Roy's contract goes, it's probably more valuable at the draft. Someone can use a player for the playoffs who would keep them over the lux tax (or cap), and then trade him for Roy at the draft, cut the guarantee and basically reduce their cap by about 5M immediately.

One of the previous posts...I just hadn't read that far yet before replying.

LOL!

That trade Roy idea sure seemed to work out well for Kahn.

 

[KeepOnRollin]

He was almost traded to BOS for Lee.

As Brian said his deal makes it better to trade him at the draft though. That is assuming he doesn't retire by then.

 

[Sedatedfork]

Will Minny retire his jersey?

This is Kahn we're talking about.

To be fair, Kahn was probably talking about trading Roy to the Blazers for Hickson's and his Bird Rights. Then Stern told him a) he can't send him to Portland for the length of the contract amnestied, and he wouldn't get Hickson's Bird Rights anyway. But at least the dollar signs were close enough to work this time. Progress, Davey!

They should retire KG's but not Love's IMO.

But his old buddy Dwight Jaynes said he could do that trade. Dwight also told him that Batum wants to tear up his contract and sign with the Wolves this summer.

Still wonder if that offer sheet by Batum was signed in a) crayon, b) invisible ink, or c) glue & glitter

Pek's contract will most likely be signed in blood.

Yeah, Kahn's blood.

Actually, Kahn thought he was trading for Hickson and the rights to Larry Bird. Why not? He signed a guy who had retired with two bad knees for $10.4 million and got a whopping 5 games out of him. I bet Larry Bird, bad back and all, would be good for at least 6 games - and he'd probably be their best player for those 6 games.

As Carl Sagan put it, maybe they laughed at Galileo, laughed at Copernicus, laughed at Darwin - but they also laughed at Bozo the Clown.

Khan did that to get back at blazers. Signing Roy took away the insurance. But guess what?! Roy only played for 6 games and needs to play for a minimum of 20 games for the insurance to be lifted. Double whammy for that cock sucker!!!!

He played in 5 games, not 6.

And where did you see that about the insurance thing?
