plskeepbibby Posted July 5, 2013 Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 Why are we promoting picking up expiring contracts... We have all kinds of cap space this year and it has netted us crap.... No thanks on Bierdins or Bogut... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PSSSHHHRRR87 Posted July 5, 2013 Moderators Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 If Dwight doesn't come here, I hope it's San Fran. With that said, I hope Atlanta doesn't do anything to help him get there. Bogut, Biedrins, and Jefferson are just turrible. Would rather have broken Bynum than broken Bogut, unless Danny wants expirings because he thinks he has a chance at LBJ. Myers just needs to take Bieds and drown his ass in a remote part of Bay. Most worthless player in the league... lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plainview1981 Posted July 5, 2013 Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 I agree... We already have the cap space. Harrison Barnes is a decent role player, but I'm not interested in helping other teams get Dwight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaceCase Posted July 5, 2013 Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 (edited) Why are we promoting picking up expiring contracts... We have all kinds of cap space this year and it has netted us crap.... No thanks on Bierdins or Bogut...A beauty about cap space is that you can also absorb bad contracts to go along with other valuable assets. Why would you say it hasn't netted the team crap when you are eliminating an entire avenue for its use? Take the expirings and wash and repeat next year, pretty soon you have enough young assets and picks that you can construct a real team. Atlanta needs to start thinking like a small market team seeing as the "big city" label hasn't done jack for it in free agency.

plskeepbibby Posted July 5, 2013 Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 Where has it stated that Klay Thompson and Harrison Barnes would be dealt to make it happen. Those are the only assets that I'd want from their roster. No report has mentioned either of those players... It mentions three bums and a 2014 pick (which is apparently untradeable). I'd entertain the idea if it included Barnes but I still think this whole thing is a stretch, a last ditch effort where Dwight has told them that they are his first choice and given them an opportunity to make moves and sign him. Good luck to them getting someone to take their scraps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawks05 Posted July 5, 2013 Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 Warriors wouldn't trade Barnes and bogut for josh. They want cap space this year to sign Dwight outright since the Lakers won't agree to a SNT. That means no one will view their expiring as assets as usual because they would be using cap this year for cap next year. They will have to trade one or two of the expiring plus an enticing asset to a team that can absorb it.That's a small grouping of teams. Hawks should try for klay if Dwight says no to us. Klay and bout for two seconds would be awesome if agreeable to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Final_quest Posted July 5, 2013 Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 Guys, this is a perfect storm. Golden State has two awesome young players in Klay Thompson, and Harrison Barnes who averaged 16 points/game in the playoffs as a 21 year old rookie. The only way they would trade either of them is if they have a chance to sign someone like Dwight Howard. Since we missed out on anyone worth signing, this is great news for us. We take an expiring contract or two, and have a long term starter for the trouble. Next year we have our capspace again after Biedrins, Bogut, or whoever else comes off the books. If we are not gonna tank this is how you reshape your roster. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I doubt they will include them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolvetigers Posted July 5, 2013 Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 Warriors is one of the worst possible scenarios. We wouldn't get anything back from them most likely. At least if he goes to Houston we can pry away Asik. Dwight's agent is definitely leading this effort here...this is a great opportunity for the Hawks if we can get Klay Thompson and bogut then I would make it work.....THis would be a dream come true for Hawks PG- Teague / SchröderSG- Klay Thompson / Louis Williams / JenkinsSF- Corey Brewer / KorverPF- HorfordC- Bogut / Zaza Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kerrypack Posted July 5, 2013 Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 yeah, and they trade barnes or klay plus bogut (maybe plus jefferson) for smoove (maybe plus other filler). I don't think Atlanta will have zaza next year. no room in the inn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 5, 2013 Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 I want Barnes/Jefferson/Biedrins ...the young athletic guy in Barnes plus 2 expirings next summer. We would add a young piece while remaining flexible and possibly getting a top 6 pick next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
