Well, BRK was 2.8 points per 48 better last season when he was on the court than when he wasn't.
Maybe the problem in HOU was his coach and their system...
The guy would be a back up PG, not a starter for us. Like I said, he's like 10th on my TPE wish list. I'm not losing any sleep over it one way, or the other.
Rofl.... So you say Turner is an albatross contract, and want cap relief.
Except you came up with a scenario where Portland takes back MORE salary.
Regardless if you think it's easier to trade or not.
There are people who disagree with you on thinking Turner's contract is the albatross you so desperately want others to believe. If you can't accept that.. Then not sure what to tell you.
I can accept that people believe Turner's contract to be untrade-able. Just like I could accept that people believed Crabbe's contract is untrade-able
Hope crabbe has a great year playing for Port... omg the Brooklyn?
Turner and LBJ occupy the same space on the floor.
They are the same player, except LBJ is a MUCH better player across the board and it's not close.
If you really think LBJ means by another ball handler a lesser version of him otherwise he'll hold the Cavs hostage. Then LOL @ you.
Drose, Turner, LBJ... Splash brothers aint got nothing on these 3.
The Knicks are in rebuilding mode, but giving up a quality 3 and d player like Lee is nonsense if they don't get anything in return. He still has a couple years left on his contract... His value isn't going to change much unless he has a career ending injury.
In your scenario they would give up a young player + quality 3 and d player for D-league trash and cap space. Oh right cap space... Such an incentive for Free agents... Who was the last big name star free agent to sign with the Knicks? Amare Stoudemire.
Again, none of the 3 teams in your trade would accept it...
I tried to go with a short answer, when you so subtly mocked me for not providing arguments.
Now I return the favor.. with the mocking.. I however an not being subtle.
Yes you take back more salary, but you shorten the time of you paying half of that salary because Iman's contract is shorter and you can trade Lee's contract because it's reasonable and even if you don't Lee fits our system better than Turner.
Turner's contract is not bad? are you for real?! do i need to convince you why we need to trade a 17mil' guy who couldn't help a bottom 10 team? (and we were bottom 10 team before Nurkic).
Turner and LBJ occupy the same space on the floor? what about when James is on the bench and the Cavs have no creator? what about the fact that the Cavs are severely lacking wing players because Shumpert looked like a D-Leaguer?
The Knicks can always get free agents at the level of Lee or better. They got Lopez,Afflalo, Hardaway Junior , Kuzminskas,Derrick Williams and of course Lee himself. Heck, even Kyrie wants to go to the Knicks.
The Cavs can add Kay Felder to the mix and the Knicks get cap space + 3 young guys with potential. Maybe we need to add a 2nd rounder.
