NBASupes Posted July 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 1 minute ago, RandomFan said: Apparently he was actually worth $72 million, since he took less to re-sign with us. 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. We can't cut Patterson. We have a lot less than 6 million. That info in the 1st post was wrong. We only have maybe 3-5 million. Clearly, 5 million in cap space will help us a ton. It means Thabo and Splitter can be traded and we can free up the money that way.

It doesn't matter what he does at the top. That's for the future but for now, Atlanta needs to get 18 million dollars in cap room by any means.

Lurker Posted July 2, 2016 Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 (edited) It is if he doesn't come down from the 5 year full max. If he didn't want the 5 year full max, he may already have a deal in hand from the Hawks, but he does want it.

Bankingitbig Posted July 2, 2016 Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 This already includes us dropping Patterson and Scott. Meaning we need to dump Splitter + Thabo OR THJ to make room Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATLiott Posted July 2, 2016 Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 9 minutes ago, REHawksFan said: 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. Agreed. When I posted that I hadn't looked at some of the money that's being paid out today. $70 mil for Baze isn't that bad. I'm just praying they can squeeze Al in too.

Albert Nahmad @AlbertRandom1 Hawks would need to unload just under $11 million in salary to have enough room to retain Al Horford (at $94.4M cap) https://twitter.com/WindhorstESPN/status/749078449101348864 … Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REHawksFan Posted July 2, 2016 Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 Is there any way the Baze deal could be structured with a lower first year (like 14M or so) that would make clearing 18M for Al a little easier? All I've seen is 4-70M for Baze. Anyone know the actual starting salary? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'm pretty sure we'd need to move all three of Splitter, Thabo, and Scott to make this happen. But that should be very easy to do. Thabo is easily worth $4m in this market. And Splitter is still a steal at $8.25m in this market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NBASupes Posted July 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 Brooklyn is literally in need of all three players. Scott, Thabo and Splitter. Let's go Brooklyn! I will love you forever and you can forever f**k Boston! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naw, we need to get rid of all three players. Thabo, Scott and Splitter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So why in hell would you sign bazemore to this terrible contract 1st and then freak out trying to dump salary to resign your freaking all star center????
