Deal has to include Nene. We are subject to the 150% rule, so we need $6.7 million for a $10 million player and $8 million for a $12 million player. KJ + Ennis Only gets you to $5 million. You could start throwing in <$1 million players like Harrell, Nanu and Wiltjer, but that makes this a 4 for 1 or 5 for 1 deal....exceptionally difficult to pull off.
Koufos plus Nene is what we need, while retaining Capela, Harrell, Dekker, Ariza, EG, Bev. That seems highly unlikely to pull off IMO.
I would love Chandler, or Chandler, or Dudley. Bogut only if he's cut... I know its crazy but part of me just wants more three point shooters. Let's just quadruple down on three point shooting. If you can't shoot 3s and your name isn't Clint Capela, you're out.
Plausible options: Wings: Arron Afflalo Jerryd Bayless Trevor Booker Alex Burks Wilson Chandler Jared Dudley Tyreke Evans Gerald Henderson Joe Johnson Michael Kidd-Gilchrist Courtney Lee Jon Leuer Iman Shumpert Mirza Teletovic Marvin Williams Posts: Andrew Bogut Tyson Chandler Kenneth Faried Derrick Favors Marcin Gortat John Henson Solomon Hill Al Jefferson Amir Johnson Nikola Pekovic Miles Plumlee Zach Randolph Nikola Vucevic Thad Young
We're not trading Nene. See my previous post. We could be shopping for a player for another team. I think we know KJ and Ennis are gone.
I don't know if it's going to happen, but I also think it makes a lot of logical sense. We need to get younger at that 3 & D spot and Chandler fits the bill as a younger marginal upgrade to Ariza. I thought Gallinari would have been a target, but now that Houston has Lou Williams, they are probably looking to improve the 3 since they just acquired a scorer. Can't see how this trade can happen without Ariza being included. The only other salary matching piece possible would be Nene and we need him given our big depth and Capella's injury history.
Beverley plays defense that Lou does not. Highly doubt Bev goes. Tbh the guy that is looking suspicious in the number crunching here is Ariza..
Seems like Rockets put this out there to put pressure on a team......wonder if it's Phoenix or Denver
