closer to floor? don't think so as Ersans and Tiagos salaries are very close

Exactly.

I doubt he plays either....but getting close to the floor doesn't save them money. They just have to pay it out to the players on the roster.

Maybe they are trying to make room for Crabbe, Leonard and Ezeli for Okafor. :bgrin:

Getting to the floor, does save them money. Say Philly takes Ezeli. They get the credit on the cap calculations of paying him $8M when they only spend $2M on him in real cash. They save about $5-6M on a trade like that.
 
CJ for Drummond yeah fuckin right Detroit you idiots, no where near equal in value

It's not insulting since Drummond is #2 in rebounding and has a slightly higher PER. It just doesn't make any sense to fill one hole while creating another though.

That's an insulting offer to me. Drummond is good but not anywhere near CJ value

Surface stats. Drummond isn't as good as they would lead you to believe. The teams defense is actually better without him on the court lol.
 
What happened with Drummond? I thought he was a franchise player and Det was huge on him?

No Drummond

"One league source told ESPN's Ramona Shelburne that the Portland Trail Blazers called to inquire about Drummond but quickly abandoned their interest when Detroit asked for Blazers guard C.J. McCollum in return. The Blazers, sources told Shelburne, regard McCollum as an untouchable."

Probably the right move, but we passed on Drummond once and I regretted it. I hope I don't regret it again. He is a very unique player. If both hit their ceiling, Drummond is probably worth 3x CJ.

Woah hot takes!
 
I'd love Drummond but not for CJ. We already have possibly the C position solidified so we're giving up our SGOTF and create that hole?

We passed on him for Lillard. It's not like we picked John Holmes over him.
 
I'd like to know how Detroit would have planned on making a CJ/Drummond swap work financially.
 
Blazers should have done the deal... how much longer does Neil need to realize Dame and CJ won't work together... guys like Drummond are not made available very often
 
for me this has been a successful trade deadline already with the Nurk deal, I'd like to see a few more moves but as usual it depends upon what's out there and if its a good deal for us. My guess is that we'll have another modest deal but a guess is all it is. Lets everyone relax and enjoy the process!

Not if they get Aminu....

Hmmm... but Aminu and a draft pick? Hmmm. I really appreciate almost everything Aminu does for us. That's probably just me being a homer and overvaluing my team's players though, right?
 
Yea i dont like that. We're gonna have to pay Noel, so the only way to get him and pay him is to unload crabbe
 
remember Tor has been rumored to be offering Sullinger expiring and a pick for wing depth - Aminu? and remember the Nigerian connection with Masai and now Ibaka there
 
Unless of course we trade Aminu/Crabbe + a pick...but then damn, we need a lot more coming back
