Translation: Rent Lowry for a playoff run and then let him go.
If we really want, we can throw our room exception at him. $2.7M for half the season is a lot more than vet minimum, right?
We are talking about RFA in 2014 versus URFA in 2015. I'm not sure if you get this point. The difference is not on the cap hold or the wasted...
After you use cap room to sign someone (KLove) in this case, there is no MLE available. Instead you only have the so-called room exception of...
Couldn't be said better. From a pure mathematical point of view, picking up his option for 14-15 is just a no-brainer. I don't think you can get...
This is clearly about Asik+Lin+picks for Deron Williams. Can't really think of any other possibilities.
There just isn't a market for Asik at the price Morey is asking. A properly tanking team would not be interested in renting an above-average...
I agree with the point you're trying to make, but can't help saying that you are over-reacting to the trade. Bass and Lee are slightly overpaid...
I'm not even going to argue if your valuation of Ask is more accurate than the managements of other NBA teams. It's clear that it's the later...
How elite is "elite" and how good is "good but not great"? How about a 7-foot 4.4pt, 6.8reb unprofessional backup center with a $15M balloon...
You basically threw out two separate trades. (I mean value-wise, you do likely have to combine them to make salary matching work) Sure it's...
I also think these four teams make the most sense for this trade, but you are a bit too optimistic IMO. Also we are not trading Lin. Let's keep...
This whole "Any backup player on a $8M/year contract needs to traded" sentiment needs to stop. Seriously. As a team with Championship...
Turner is due for his pay day though. I'm not so sure, but some team may offer him close to MAX, like $50-60M over 4 years. Are you ready to...
This post fails at so many levels and it's not even funny. Firstly, trading a good player in Lin for a large expiring contract is a downgrade...
When you are a tanking team, I totally agree you shouldn't tie your cap-space into market-valued good-but-not-great players. But the situation is...
First of all, it was overly risky for us to move Lin AND Asik for cap space for Iggy during the summer while we already have Parsons. At that...
Well, we need a wing defender, but that wing defender has to be overall a very good player, good enough to see the court when the game matters....
I'm sure the Morey is all over it if we can pay 12-13mil to replace Parsons with an even better player. But who is that "championship piece"...
Don't be so conservative:) 13 out of 15 West team would be top 3 in the East. Ladies and Gentlemen, there are TWO, I mean exactly TWO teams in...
