On the "please share" request. My house got caught up in the Paulding tornado 2 Saturdays ago. Picked up my shed and tossed it at my son's car. Been dealing with both a house claim and an auto claim while dealing with real life, more certification requirements and a merger. So yah...you get what you get.

See here: the disabled player exemption only applies to a player on your roster when the injury occurs. IE: we could use it, a trade partner cant. We are under the cap so it doesn't apply. Only savings is waving him and insurance compensation offset. " Disabled Player ExceptionEdit Allows a team that is over the cap to acquire a replacement for a disabled player who will be out for either the remainder of that season (for in-season injuries/deaths) or the next season (if the disability occurs during the offseason). The maximum salary of the replacement player is either 50% of the injured player's salary, or the mid-level exception for a non-taxpaying team, whichever is less. This exception requires an NBA-designated doctor to verify the extent of the injury. Under the 2005 CBA, a team could sign a player under this exception for five years; since the 2011 CBA, it has been allowed only for one year.[5] Note that while teams can often use one exception to sign multiple players, they cannot use a combination of exceptions to sign a single player."

Not gonna lie. The Parsons injury hurt our negotiatingnposture here. It may be us that moves.

https://hoopshype.com/rumor/1312233/ Status on the Drummond deal with the pick that was targeted and as previously discussed was the conversations behind closed doors with Drummonds agent after permission was finally given (I misstated Jones when I said it), was that he'd want close to a max extension to re-sign. That was the hangup.

That is why he is in green, no red. But they aren't married to him long term. If it improves them, they'll move him.

I wanted to get home so I could type, not text this answer. Gallo isn't our secondary target. We are 2+ million still under the cap. Assets - In order of salary greatest to smallest (Red = Hawks want to trade) (Blue means Hawks would prefer to keep) Green = no preference) All can be had but our preferences are listed. Parsons contract Turner contract Parker Len Carter Bembry Jones Graham Fernando Our first Brooklyn first OKC first Future picks Now the only thing with trade value for bringing in players are players. There are no dollar values on picks. So no matter what picks are involved on either side, dollar values will need to match if the Hawks take on more than $2+ million in salary. Targets - 2 year contract players...not 4 year players Space and defend C Space and defend PF (both need to improve rebounding and at least 1 needs to be a space eater) defensive wing mentor for the rooks who knows how to defend the pick n roll and who understands motion on offense They are trying to flip our (assets) into 3 players and trying to use the 2 big salaries to get 2 of those and use the extra salaries to get the 3rd. Teams like Philly, LA, etc (contenders) have no interest in the salaries or picks but would have interest in Len, Carter, Jones, Bembry at the right price. Teams like OKC want a salary dump while remaining competitive (salary reloads and a player (Len/Parker, etc)) Teams like Chicago (late stage rebuilders) would be interested in Bembry, Fernando, Len types and picks if available. Teams like Charlotte want a salary dump and picks. Teams like NY want players under 25 + salary dump+ top 10 picks. It is a complicated mess, the Hawks are at the center and holding all the cards. The Parsons car accident, Parker injury mucked things up and put us in a less advantageous position and teams know it.

Question and answer via app on The Athletic.

Kirschner live Q/A going on now. He affirms Adam's is our target, says the defense has been terrible and names players, much more.

That salary is a hit over what we want to accomplish this summer though

If Adam's were on a friendlier contract (say 15 to 18 mil) they might ship the first, but not at his salary.

His miffed at minutes because he's trying to make that new contract. But helping a contender win a title, even in limited minutes, is a money maker.

Sadly, I do not know.

In all seriousness though. Turner at 2 million is worthwhile bench player for a contender. Emergency fill guy.

Answering previous question. It would be something like Adam's for Turner+Jones. They want Len and would probably jump on http://www.espn.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=t7k7z9k. But right now the Len deal is too valuable to add in as fodder.

Turner + salary match to make it work for max cap savings. Everyone wants Len because his salary is low.

,.but a turner buyout deal is the hottest commodity right now and he'd get signed by a contender before his gear was packed.

You're spot on with OKC. Haven't heard Denver. Have heard contacts with Chi, NY, Det went no where. Charlotte, Miami, Philly Phoenix have all inquired. Also Len talks cooled off after back strain. Multiple asked for him to be included to replace any big they sent.

3rd party to a deal, not main partners

Too many possible moving pieces to get too specific. Have heard Houston and Philly wanting to tweak as well and may want to get in.

We are actually taking on salary and years depending on which team (if this happens at all...) and would be getting a better player without giving up a pick.

Player a goes to team x. Player is on 1 year salary. Team x trades player on 3 year salary to do so therefore clearing space going forward. Team x buys out player a. Team y signs player a after the buyout to a vet minimum deal. A portion of that amount is removed from team x salary cap, therefore getting them under or closer to the LT. Yes teams give us better players to do this. So we send out 18.5 mill salary plus 3 million filler. We take back 25 mil salary. We saved team x 3.5 million in LT but up to 15 million in penalty. Same team waves 18.5 mil salary. Vet resigns for 2 million. Team x saves Nother million+ in cap but 5 million more in penalty. That's how it works. Next year team x has 25 million less against the cap to play with.

Well cat is out of the bag it seems. They are talking with 3 teams as I understand it. So the value from the Hawks end is the buyout potential of moving the big contracts. That if moved Turner would get bought out and will immediately be resigned elsewhere saving our trade partner a few million. Hang ups (as always) are what we include and get back. It isn't a bidding war but multiple teams are asking for the purpose of waving him and getting an asset. Similar talks were being had involving Parsons which is why we played him about a month ago (to show he was healthy). It did not go well, his foot speed and reaction time was deplorable. If insurance kicks in it could free up a bit more cap space to make this all work. And I would have elaborated yesterday but barely have time to breathe right now.

Things are currently happening in the background. Consider yourselves on notice.

He doesn't fit what LP wants to do. But never say never.

I pointed out the kicks to my wife and she says, "huh? Periwinkle!"
