BornandDieHawks Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 that BK is playing hardball with several teams to get as much out of the trade or he has to wait to see the outcome of the legal battle with the owners to make the moves he need to do.

mountain_jim Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 If it's owner battle related then Al will have to walk. Cause that ain't getting settled quickly. mj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WraithSentinel Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 BK might as well play hard ball. We got nothing to lose in this situation. We are losing Al either way. Al cannot get his big deal without a sign and trade. Unless the Bobcats want to jump in. I don't see that happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that team is Indiana because Bird and company thinks they are one player away from contenting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exodus Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 I think i read somewhere that Murphy's BYC status ends on Saturday so that could be a factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators AHF Posted July 6, 2006 Moderators Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 Quote: What is BYC? Base year compensation. It limits back the amount of salary you can receive for a player in the first year of a new deal and makes them much harder to trade to anyone over the cap.

That leaves no sign & trade deal for Al. I simply do not like waiting this long. W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin chillzatl Posted July 6, 2006 Admin Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 I think you're wrong there. The fact taht all these moves are being made means that there are going to be more SnT options than we thought we would have. Al knows the free agent market isn't going to get him what he wants. But he still has a lot of teams interested in him (6 at my last count), all of which have various packages they could offer us for him. Waiting is part of the game.

mountain_jim Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 Quote: And then they can move on to the business that is sign-and-trading Al Harrington for some much needed help (another PG and another big). This also could be completed before you’re done feasting on those 4th of July leftovers. Well I've finished my 4th leftovers and still no deal... mj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
