Quick says look for a trade on draft night for a center

[RR7]

Sorry, I meant Freeland, not Leonard.

 

[Blazinaway]

A guy who plays 18 mpg and makes over $11m/year isn't a 'decent price', IMHO.

he's capable of playin a lot more, they chose not to. I'm not sayin he'e perfect, but he's a viable option IMO. Is he a risk? yes but I think we have to take some., what's your choice fo a C and how do we get him?

 

[magnifier661]

How do you figure? Roughly $11.8 in cap space, McGee makes $11.25m against the cap.

Freeland makes around $4 mil. So basically it would go 7.8 mil against cap

 

[illmatic99]

Does the 11 mil cap number include the salary for the 10th pick?

I wouldn't lock up McGee for $33m. I don't see how that makes sense at all, IMHO.

So the idea is to give up the 10th-ish pick and Freeland for McGee and his contract?

Olshey would never do that. Ever. Nothing in his history says he would do it. I mean, speculate about it, but it makes such little sense to me.

McGee-10.75
Aldridge-14,628,000
Batum-11,295,250
Wes-6,875,480
Lillard-3,202,920
Leonard-2,222,160
Claver-1,330,000
Barton-788,872
Roster hold(490,000)x4

53052682

If the cap ends up at 60 like predicted, we'd have 7 million roughly to work with.

then is your unhumble OPINION WTF would you do? Give us your ideas

I think so

I wouldn't trade for JaVale Mcgee. That's what I'd do.

$7m for 3 roster spots, and no first round pick next year, either.

Really intriguing. Enough money for someone like Reke probably if you give him 4 yrs/30. Then you have the mini MLE to get your backup PG be it Maynor or someone else.

Dame/ Reke/ ?
Wes/ Reke
Nic/ Barton
LA/ Vic
McGee/ Leonard

That looks like a 45-50 team next year if healthy. Any other exceptions we can use to fill out the roster spots?

 

[PapaG]

LOL, U are fill of crap, criticize away but offer nothing, about what I figured

Um, OK. So I don't like an idea to get JaVale McGee. What's wrong with bringing up his contract? Or was I supposed to post "THAT'S A GREAT IDEA OMERGERD!!!"?

Tyreke is restricted. That contract might get it done but no guarantees.

 

[PapaG]

OK, I've never been good at Imaginary Trade Land. I see things that make my head hurt, and then I make people upset because I challenge them.

 

[RR7]

yeah, I'd guess Sacramento would match. But having 7 million, 3 2nd rounders, JJ's bird rights in a S&T, and the mini-MLE would be plenty to fill out the roster.

 

[illmatic99]

Ya but it's the Kings. I figured it would be enough to pry him away. Maybe play around with some bonuses like we did with Wessy.

 

[Blazinaway]

Hey, when you offer no ideas/opinion on what we should do I call that BS, or do simply have none and prefer to criticize everyone else?

I am offering an opinion. I hate the idea of McGee. Are you 12?

 

[illmatic99]

So with this, can we potentially go over the cap?

Dude, challenging is fine, we do it all the time. But when I pretty much never see you offering up any ideas and then so often criticizing other's ideas it gets old and I call bullshit. I guess for you it's really cool to sit back at take your shots, but never open yourself up by trying an idea out. Is that it?

I offer up plenty of ideas. Are you being serious?

I happen to like the idea of Tyreke Evans, and I've posted it plenty of times. Just not with McGee, since this thread is about centers.

Stop being so sensitive.

If I see McGee on this roster next year i'll puke. The guy has a huge contract, he hasn't earned it and his D is very very bad. He can get blocks and rebounds but thats all he does. I'd rather pay an unkown Mozgov 11m a year then McGee. I only take McGee if we send out nothing and Denver gives us Corey Brewer and their first round pick this year.
I'd send our pick to PHX for Gortat, yes he is a one year rental but we could give him a 3 year extension and if at anytime Leonard looks like he is ready to start moving a good defensive center like Gortat wouldn't be hard. If we can't get him i'd call up Wash and see about a trade surrounding Okafer or NeNe. I'd also call up Chicago and see if something along the lines of our pick and Mathews interests them in moving Noah.
If the Pacers get knocked out in the first round they might be interested in moving Hibbert.
If we don't make a move on draft night i'd send a contract at splitter at 4/40m.
Or if we don't like any of the FA on the market we could do something radical like absorbing Pau Gasol contract for scraps and testing the market next year when Gasol's contract expires and LA is set to test FA.
I also wouldn't mind drafting Deing and throwing him to the wolves off the bat. Tell him and Leonard that they each have 6 fouls and are expecting to use them every game.

 

[illmatic99]

Nope

My understanding was that in essence, we can. We can go over the cap to sign JJ, and can trade for a guy with a similar new salary? Is there a precedence to this?

geez, you got it, it's a thread on C's - WTF is your idea?

You guys wanna take this stuff to PMs? Really clogging up the thread.
