i knew this would happen. don't be happy. this is bad news. now they can't go after david lee and they will likely try to get josh smith.
The Rockets couldn't afford that anyway. I guess we're looking at a trade or someone else like Joseph.
no. we can't match anything anyway because he's ufa. We can only offer 2.5 per or full mle which feigen says will go to mcdaniels. They can offer right now 6 per. My hope is that Bird after the West Lance and Hibbert fiasco won't like to add other potential lockeroom headaches.
Btw didn't Clutch shut down this thread because we weren't starting new threads for such topics haha.
I can smell a trade... All signs are pointing to it. Could you imagine if we got Lawson for T-Jones, K-Pap, Dorsey, Prigs, and Johnson?!
No no I didn't mean match the offer. I meant getting close to matching the dollar amount. If we don't use MLE on Mcdaniels or Harrell.
Who else is after a PG? Dallas doesn't have assets. New York doesn't have assets. Sacramento just signed Rondo. We offer them something other teams don't which is cap space. Trading for our "garbage" allows them to take little money back and generates a TPE if I'm not mistaken.
Yeah I think therealallpro meant the less anoth team can offer the smaller the differential is between our $2.5m. If Indy offers $6m then it's really about $2m more than our offer after factoring DET's cut.
tpes are useless for teaps with capspace. they are also useless for rebuilding teams. Denver has no need to trade Lawson yet. they would like to but that doesn't mean they have to trade him for peanuts. A trade opportunity for a cheap (by new standards) good pg will appear esp at the deadline. the prime target for a trade will be collison most likely. but it depends on josh smith. What he is deciding to do lol
With their desire to become a faster paced team (move from Hibbert to Turner), I can certainly see them targeting Smoove. I'm hoping they go for a more sound Vet like Brandon Bass instead, but I don't think he fits next to Myles Turner.
