Although in this case their asset is worth negative dollars. If they can get a penny for someone to come to their house and bury their dog poo they should be thrilled.wutang112878 said:
They're one of only a few legitimate threats in the Kevin Love sweepstakes. Ugh, this sucks.soxhop411 said:
I was diddling around with a Rondo and pick for Irving last week......this would recreate the franchise. It places tremendous value now in keeping Avery, add Asik with Green and you have a tremendously balanced lineup with enough defensive presence.RedOctober3829 said:
Well obviously now you have to dig into some future picks but Cleveland is going to need a PG and a name to save face.moly99 said:
They'll trade Kyrie who'll learn how to play defense, Love will get Bill Walton feet, and Embiid's back will explode.Devizier said:
It rarely happens these days because the teams have spent so many resources in marketing their young star player. The times is does/could happen is when two players have either worn out their welcome with the team, make it known they want to move on to greener pastures, or have a large contract coming up that the team doesn't want to commit.BigSoxFan said:
Does this pipe dream include getting Love in another trade, or would that be too much of a pipe dream?HomeRunBaker said:
I don't see this as a factor with Love. Minnesota would have to be Parsons choice destination in a sign-n-trade as he is a restricted FA. I don't want to speculate on his choice of climate but that's a tough sell for a born and raised Floridian.Grin&MartyBarret said:
He's already said he won't opt out though.Devizier said:
I'm not sure anyone is going to be eager to pay $15M for Jeremy Lin right now, even without a proportional cap hit. He's a guy someone short a guard might be willing to pay $7-8M for down the stretch, but I'm not sure anyone is going to go into the season with a plan on paying him that much.mcpickl said:
Wasn't saying anyone should. Was just pointing out there are other options to move him besides teams with TPEs available.bowiac said:
Houston shouldn't have any trouble moving Lin if Carmelo, Bosh or LeBron are on the table as he is a productive player who can fill a role and sell some tickets rather than a complete sunk cost. They can pay up to $3m toward the contract plus add either a pick and/or Terrance Jones, the latter especially if it's for Bosh.mcpickl said:
Looks like Blatt's hiring is just pending Gilbert's approval.Brickowski said:
Well they save about $8M this year it looks like (assuming they don't pick up Damembert's option). I don't know why they do it though, Calderon is ok even at $7M, but the loss of Chandler is big, and Larkin showed nothing as a rookie.TheDeuce222 said:
