Players like IT and Ariza will have vlaue with decling salary structures, especially to teams that can't attract good pieces without having to overpay in free agency.
Actually I can't believe Valanciunas is available. that's the guy we should be going after. Problem is...we don't have what Toronto wants.
That report came from Alex Kennedy. I shouldn't have to say more. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p>Rival execs who've talked to Raptors believe they may be willing to build a package around Terrence Ross & Jonas Valanciunas to land a star.</p>— Alex Kennedy (@AlexKennedyNBA) <a href="https://twitter.com/AlexKennedyNBA/status/567356892117499906">February 16, 2015</a></blockquote> <script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
I'd rather have Brandon Knight at $15M than Goran Dragic at $21M... I really hope that works out! Maybe we can pry John Henson from them too! Git R' Done, Murray!
Didn't Phoenix trade two 2nd's for Wright? Why would they trade IT and Wright for filler and two 2nd's? I'm not sure throwing in our 2017 first rounder would even be enough (could be though).
I agree. It won't be like the time we had to trade Lin where we had to unload a first round pick. Lin was 15 million against the cap. IT is a good player and unloading that contract would be a lot easier.
ok...I saw it now and read the article. Noone believes it for real. It's more of (stupid) speculation. A backcourt of Knight and R.Jackson will certainly cause brain damage and an epidemic of madness in the fanbase. No owner would do that to their fans.RIGHT? right???.... Terence Ross is a lazy trainwreck who likes to play nba2k instead of practising and leaving girls pregnant left and right. He has not only not improved but shown serious regression. He has no developed Nba skills except for his athleticism (he is afraid of contact !) and his 3 point shot gets worse and worse. Valanciunas no way he is traded for someone like WEST
There is always a 3-way possibility, matching wants and needs. Rumors this week? CheapCheapandBullScheap.
If we get Brandon Knight and John Henson, could we flip Henson for a backup Shooting Guard and sign Amare?
In a three team trade sure. But why? You dont' trade big for small esp when it's a backup. Knight will be your backup SG. Anyway it won't happen.
If Larry Sanders gets bought out any interest from HOU? I know that dude is having some issues, but I find it odd that he was doing fine before they arose. When he's focused and on he's a load in the paint.
Honestly I'm not that far away from your thinking bro. I have no idea why all the hate for thomas. This is a guy who is shooting almost 40% from 3, and would average 20/6 over 34 minutes. I get that his defense is not a strength, but we also have Pat Bev. This kid is about to hit his best years and he's on a value contract.
