    Liquidate then monetize.

    It would not surprise me if Martin and/or Scola were not moved until the trade deadline unless for a big trade. Those two contracts will allow us to meet our league cap floor. Plus other teams might want them for a playoff push, especially Martin being an expiring contract.

    Martin's best value in a trade will probably come at the trade deadline, and he's a capable player going into the final year of his deal looking for one last pay day. If I was Morey, he would be someone I would try and hold onto him until the deadline unless a mega trade needed his salary.

    Scola is much more likely to be moved in the next two weeks.

    If Courtney Lee goes anywhere I would love for him to come to Boston!

    I like the moves by Aimge this off season he's giving it "one more year"-I don't know why :confused:But...maybe after they amnesty KG after 2 years or buy out whatever the new CBA will allow.-replacing Allen withJT is big for them since JT still has legs under him. The gamble on Sullinger may vary well pay off
    as an Ibaka type player until back issues catch up with him after a few full
    NBA seasons. Lee let us get some value on a sign n trade please! We helped you show you ARE a capable GREAT role player needed on a contender:cool:
    Thanks CLee

    Dude Martin is our best asset he's in a contract year bro.-already "underpaid so good value"-so uses if we trade him since he doesn't fit well
    with Mchale bc of Lee (he could actually play both sides of the court which is better than 24ppg&no D)-anyways he's expiring in a contract year he will
    be looking to get paid again ...he's a great ASSET;)

    I want future picks. I'm talking much future. Like perhaps a 2016 or 2017 pick, when this team has to rebuild.

    Why -it's a sign n trade we aren't getting a Bradley we are getting a salary dump and a pick similar to maybe the Mavs pick where it could last until 2018, or whatever but nah just a "innovative pick", and a throw in...we aren't getting
    either of there picks from this year either haha they were steals of the draft for them in the EAST:cool:

    some of ya'll need to remember that he could walk and we'd get nothing. Even getting a 2nd rounder for him wouldn't be to bad, a 1st or a young prospect would be a steal.

    The 2013 Charlotte 2nd round pick is a nice asset.

    Clearly, if the Rockets can obtain 1st round picks in S&T deals for Lee and Camby they will look to do that. All of those assets are more liquid.

    Can KG be amnestied? Didn't he just re-sign a contract?

    Expiring contracts only - and a future first like in 5 years.

    No, not anymore, he is ineligible, only contracts on the books at the date of the CBA signing are eligible to be amnestied.
