    Green had a cap hold of $15m
    There's no pressing need for Toronto to get rid of him. He's young, improving and cheap.

    That's exactly why I said that you'd have to overpay. I just made up the 3 1sts. I dont have any way of knowing what his true value really is. Our picks arent likely to be high choices so that minimizes their value.

    There is nothing he can do. He tries but he can't compete with the better GM's out there. He has dumped all of our assets so we don't have many trade pieces.

    No he will cost a lot less and is more under the radar. We probably can keep this team and add him

    That’s how it works for any team with 2 stars. In fact, we have a ton of good pieces considering we have Chris Paul and James Harden. A crazy amount of flexibility too, and ALL of our picks.

    I’d like to see if Morey can land someone like Jerami Grant from OKC and/or Siakam from the Raps. Yes Siakam is a pipedream, but I wonder if it’s a possibility.

    Point is, no need to panic. The Rockets might be able to land a really nice piece or two via trade with all that is going on with other teams losing key players. Just want to see if OKC and the Raps become sellers.

    I’d rather have Beal but Cov would be good too. We can’t lose a core piece though.

    We’re not getting either, though, so it’s moot.

    What position would he play. Kind of redundancy

    So they can't sign him with the room now?

    Still there are some teams with their full MLEs available. He's just too valuable of a player to sign a vet min, and I don't think we're offering anybody more than that.

    He overplays his hand searching for a superstar. Then overplayed his hand retaining a superstar past his prime. He's also given too much leeway to his prime superstar, who's selfishness is outta control. The culture here is terrible

    Huh? Delusional smh. What team did you watch last year?

    -Harden had more unassisted FG attempts than anybody in NBA history

    -Harden's usage was higher than any player in NBA history (I believe 95%), yet he openly pouted the few possessions CP initiated the offense.

    -James Harden becomes very disinterested when other guys like EG has it going. Instead of feed them the ball, he ops to continue taking contested stepback 3's for better or worse.

    The reason he feels this entitled is because Morey's basically put him over the coach, and team. James KNOWS he won't be held accountable and that Morey encourages him to get these regular season accolades, even at the expense of team chemistry. What superstar wants to come to a team where one guy dribbles 95% of the game, pouts the other 5%, and the GM encourages him to keep doing it because his calculator says so?

    Morey trades ten first round picks for a marginal upgrade that buys the team one extra playoff victory before they're eliminated.

    Wings are not guards, u know that right. He cant play small forward. He a guard. We have enough of those. We need a true wing. Covington
