NBASupes Posted July 2, 2016 Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 Right now, we have 6 million dollars in cap space with 14 players. Since no one can be signed till July 6th, we still have all of our cap holds. The mission to keep Al is an extremely tough one. It includes A. Trading Splitter. 8.550 million B. Trading or cutting Scott 3.33 million C. Trading or cutting Patterson 874k This gives us over 18 million dollars in cap room. Now finding a home for Splitter needs to happen right about now.

skimaskway23 Posted July 2, 2016 Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 So you're saying there's a chance? What would it take to convince a team to take splitter's contract? Surely they thought this thru Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WraithSentinel Posted July 2, 2016 Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 (edited) I don't think the Hawks will have any trouble finding a taker for Tiago. May have to throw in a 2nd rounder. Tiago at $8 or $9M per in his final year should be easy to move. Edited July 2, 2016 by WraithSentinel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATLiott Posted July 2, 2016 Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 Two things: 1) Al would have to wait and trust we'd get all of that done. 2) We still need a backup PG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I TRULY hope this is the crazy plan.....but what I don't get, is if so why would they announce Baze first and risk it falling through and losing Al when Al is clearly the higher priority?? It just seems backwards to me. Get Al in the house with an agreement and then pursue the trades and crazy stuff to fit Baze in. I mean this scenario, if it even exists with the Hawks, is about risk losing Al or risk losing Baze. Losing Al is far worse, imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to know what's Bazemore is getting first but before the deal. We had 19,550,000 million in cap space. Bazemore is averaging 17.5 per on a FLAT contract. That means we have two million dollars in cap room if his contract was simply flat. Splitter is 8,550,000 and we can trade him for a pick or better yet free. Scott can be cut at 3,333,334. That gives us: 13,883,334 flat. We are still short by over 4 million dollars. Thabo might have to be traded and Patterson is cut in any scenario. Umm.

I mean, we can trade him now but Splitter. He might have to be packaged with Thabo. The Nets come to mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every team has cap space (almost) and can absorb a cheap contract for a decent vet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can get rid of three players but not four. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently he was actually worth $72 million, since he took less to re-sign with us. 16 minutes ago, NBASupes said: Right now, we have 6 million dollars in cap space with 14 players.

Why do you keep wanting to trade away our only current backup PG in Patterson? Moving Splitter and Scott only gets us to around $13.33m in cap space. We'd almost definitely have to throw Thabo's $4m in the mix too - not Patterson's $874k. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but the truth of the matter is he was getting that or more regardless. My question is the team better off with him or without him? If it's truly a choice between him or Al, I want Al and will make with the wings we have. But if they somehow get Al to go along with Baze, I have no problem with it as I'm not sure who they'd spend the money on that would be better than Baze.
