[ official ] 2016 summer moves

[Sinobas]

They cut off my favorite part where he says, "We got a youthier player within Zach Randolph"

 

[SwissBlazer]

Welcome to RipCityTwo!

Thank you. Was thinking RealGM was not so busy and looking for something busier. Looks like the place to be

If Meyers is expected to get a big offer, I certainly wouldn't mind replacing him with a more experienced version of him, and picking up a draft pick to boot. Neil's already pursued Hawes once. This seems like exactly the kind of move we should be making.

That'd be a terrific move. Hawes is on $5.6M a year so hardly a staggering sum.

Hawes and Monroe...

Rejected Portland and now their teams can't wait to get rid of them.

In Hawes case 2 teams right? Clippers and Charlotte

 

[KeepOnRollin]

How large is Lamb's contract? He is the better player over Hawes. We do need a big more than SG/SF but only if that guy would have serious rotation minutes. Not sure Hawes would.

Again bringing into question Neil's track record in free agency.

Too big (21 mil) and long (3yrs) to swallow for just the 22nd pick.

Thats what she said.

 

[illmatic99]

Hawes' contract is a lot more palatable. About 12 mil for 2 yrs, and last year is player option.

 

[Blazinaway]

Thats what she said.

IMO Lamb is a very serviceable rotation player and in the new NBA salary madness that's a very cheap contract

 

[Boise Blazer]

Old and somewhat pointless but info nonetheless

Not with CJ/AC/Moe/Aminu already on the roster. Where would he even get minutes?

 

[Boise Blazer]

They freaking hate point guards in Phoenix haha

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

They should keep knight.

 

[KeepOnRollin]

After hearing that, agreed.

 

[selloutking]

funny cause at one time, they LOVED them having like 4 on the roster all playing plenty of min lol

 

[Sarni]

Well they don't need two of them at the same time. They got a shooting guard in Booker, huge talent.

Surprised Utah wouldn't bite on that deal. They must think Bledsoe is injury prone. I think Bledsoe plus the 4th pick is great value for Hayward. Especially if he leaves Utah after his contract (rumors he wouldn't mind being out).

and are you that confident Crabbe is coming back? especially if he gets an offer at 12-13 mil? if he did then Lamb's contract would look pretty good

Yes, it's a terrific deal for Utah IMO. Bledsoe when healthy is a quality guard and with #4 you could replace Hayward with either Bender or Jaylen Brown, or get someone like Buddy Hield to form immense shooting backcourt. They would still have enough assets to move for a new small forward easily.

 

[illmatic99]

I'd take AC over Lamb. Even given the price difference.

AC shot 46% from the field, 39% from 3, and 87% from FT
JL shot 45% from the field, 31% from 3, and 73% from FT.

Worlds different when you have a spacer who shoots nearly 40% from 3 vs. a non threat.

Crabbe might get 12 MIL but he still only counts as 2.7 MIL to us for 3 days after July 7th while we decide to match or not. So we have from July 1st to July 6th during the memorandum to get someone to agree to use up our cap space and then from July 7th to July 10th for someone to officially sign before matching on Crabbe.

Uhhhh what does this mean for dame?

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

Uhhhh what does this mean for dame?

Are you kidding me? Lowry is good, but lillard is better. They better still have some room for dame on the team.

 

[KeepOnRollin]

Uhhhh what does this mean for dame?

Dame still hasn't officially decided if he is playing or not. There are alot of PGs that had to drop out or decided to for one reason or another. This isn't a surprising move. If Dame plays he still has a chance to be the 2nd of at least 2 PGs behind Irving. He would beat out Lowry. I don't think they keep 3 PGs this year at all but if they did then Lowry could have a shot.

[KeepOnRollin]

At one time I would have said yes to this. Now? No thanks. Maybe (and I only mean MAYBE) if we get into free agency and we can't get anyone signed.
