Could have signed ANY stop gap PG or heck just convery Adam's GL contract. Baaaad use of $13 mil in capspace.
$13.8 with the trade kicket.
Didnt have to be an oft injured PG at $13.8 mil who may not even be ready to start the season.
Marks has won all of his trades.
It's in reference to the Hawks passing on taking on Denvers expirings for the 2019 1st, instead we took Lin and got a pick swap 5 years away and a 2nd 7 years away.
We have $8 mill unless we drop Cleveland and Morris. Unless he does something with the capspace its a bad deal for a 7 year 2nd.
What are you referencing? I understand the terms of the Lin deal, and its a pick swap in 2023.
If we had traded for Beli or Illy to Philly at the deadline we would have had 2-×nd from Philly and Bayless and $9 mil. Instead we have Lin at $13.8 mil.
Something else doesn't make sense, at the deadline - Schtink said the only deals he got for Beli and Illy was taking on 2 year deals for a 2nd (Bayless and a 2nd). But yet he just took Lin at $13.8 mil for a A VERY DISTANT 2nd when Bayless is $9mil.
Me thinks Schtink is getting taken to the cleaners.
Side eye watching.
Faried is an expiring who has been riding the pine in Denver, there's no tension to be had. Heck just buy him out.
The idea is to get an asset now, 2 even 3 years from now, not a 2nd ROUNDER IN SEVEN YEARS.
Faried and Arthur are ALSO expiring contracts so that doesn't affect our capspace for next season. Faried's contract is a similar amount to Lin's. Faried could also be an option to make a move midseason and he's at least healthy.
Something smells. BKN got 1st AND a 2nd.
I don't buy the 3rd PG B.S., we could have bring Isaiah Taylor back, hell even sign IT for the vet min he took from Denver. Doesn't seem like a good use of capspace now to get a 2nd round pick SEVEN YEARS from now.
The mentor thing? that only works if Lin can GET and STAY on the floor.
Something smells - seems like another move to fill Philips arena with the LinSanity fans for what will be another season of loosing.
(Oh we still have ~$7.5 mil in capspace)
Having said that....I'll withhold overall judgement until the dust has settled and see what else is to come.....cause there has to be something else. This can't be it.
