This theory stems from a stupid tweet from a guy who is just as negative about the Blazers as you are. What team could take Aminu back without giving us something in return? Until you can answer that question stop posting nonsense.
Because it makes no sense to dump wade or layman now if you can dump them in february
So we kept them now because we want to do a salary dump in February? LMAO
I don't get what's so funny. We did the same with Noah last year. I'm sure we can find takers for them at the deadline like we did with Vonleh. Give em a shot for the first few months then cut losses.
But Noah was guaranteed already. His point is, if the goal was save money, then they wouldn't have guaranteed their deals
Maybe sacramento??? Vlade and Neil made a Lot of Deals in the past. Neil:"Hey vlade my Friend can i Send you Aminu to safe our owners Money? He's on an expiring cheap Contract and i Don't want anything in return" Vlade: sure i'll take him till the end of the Season, have a nice day"...Thats probably the conversation
Yeah because it doesn't matter whats the payroll is, until february of course...
But with vonkeh,we had to pay money to move him. Again, their deals weren't guaranteed. If it was $$ saving, you wouldn't guarantee them just to move them with cash or a 2nd, you'd just waive them.
As of right now they could do that but if they sign or trade for someone else between now and then they won't be able to. So the plan is to go in to the season hoping Sacramento would just take him to help us out? I know you hate Olshey but why on Earth would anyone ever have that plan?
After the Melo trade, the Kings are the ONLY team in the ENTIRE NBA that have enough cap room to absorb a contract of Aminu's size or bigger. So our whole off season strategy revolves around hoping ONE TEAM wants to take him at the deadline?
I think Detroit and Chicago, at quick glance, might also have TPEs big enough, but yeah,very few
Of course it isn't realistic. Like I said I was hoping Allen recognized that going deep into the tax was the best and only way to really take a big step forward but I guess the money isn't worth keeping Dame happy.
Chicago had to renounce their trade exceptions to be under the cap to sign Parker. As we've seen TPEs rarely get used so I didn't factor them in because assuming other teams would want to use them is foolish.
Thank you
Ouch
Post. His post is full of shit.
yeah...but to me the Hawks would have had trouble against the summer league competition....Layman or Swanigan would probably put up big numbers for the Hawks last season and most of that NBA competition was in the east....I'm not comfortable giving up either guy for this package especially giving up a 2019 first round pick...Luke Babbitt looked good on the Hawks and he sucks...I'm of the opinion that both Layman and Swanigan could make the leap this season...even though nobody else around here is....I'd trade ET or Meyers for Prince and Plumlee but still wouldn't throw in a first round pick...we're going to need that pick next summer..the Hawks are probably one of my top 3 most disliked franchises in the league
I love Princes game, Id see him as a big improvement at the 3.
Lets put it this way:
