NYK gets-Tiago/Dunleavy+multiple draft picks ATL gets-Multiple draft picks CLE gets-Rose/Korver This sounds much more reasonable to me. But who would run point in NYK? Seems like something is still missing here, but much more tolerable for me than that other ish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYK gets-Tiago/Dunleavy+multiple draft picks ATL gets-Multiple draft picks CLE gets-Rose/Korver Where are all these multiple picks coming from that the Knicks and Hawks are getting?

swanlee Posted January 6, 2017 Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 Why would we trade TH jr if we aren't tanking? He is only 24 and hitting his prime. Trade him and Millsap and we easily miss the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trade him and Millsap and we easily miss the playoffs. He is a restricted free agent this offseason. It is like with Bazemore - we may have to choose between letting him go and overpaying him depending on what the other offers are. If management feels they won't overpay him but would likely have to and we aren't looking to compete this season, then there is a case for trading him for assets rather than having him walk away.

Cavs made a trade with Portland to satisfy the Hawks Korver trade. They traded their 2017 pick for a 2018 that was owed to Portland since they can't trde picks in consecutive years. They owed Portland a 2018 pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimsey Posted January 6, 2017 Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 I'm seeing Philly in trade talks. Three way with Noel, Lakers pick and fillers. Philly then could take on highest bidder for Millsap. Unlikely but that would be brazy for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he is the exact type of player you want to pay to stay here. He is young, versitile already playing great but still has upside. If we are going to pull a Braves move and trade all our good players for draft picks that probably won't pan out as good as the players we traded away I'm not going to support this team.

This was the exact rationale used to overpay Bazemore. "He's young, versatile, already playing great and how knows how much better Baze will be!" I've been pointing out this upcoming dilemma with THJr since the day we traded for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not going to support a Braves like sell off, mish mash of rent a year min wage vets and always trading young talent right before they get a big contract they earned. Pony up and keep our young and upcoming players cause draft picks are a huge gamble. It's a never ending cycle of futility to trade young but proven talent right before they get a bigger contract. Stand your ground and develop young talent for the long haul instead of mid season trades right before they get a payday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stand your ground and develop young talent for the long haul instead of mid season trades right before they get a payday. Resigning Bazemore was a mistake. The decision with THJr is going to be a hard one - compounded by the fact that you already "kept your young talent" last year with Bazemore and drafted more young talent at THJr's position. Unlike baseball, you have a limited cap in basketball. If you resign Bazmore for 12% of your cap and THJr for 12% of your cap you basically have kept two backup SGs for 1/4 of your payroll and doomed yourself. I get your point but it isn't that simple. FWIW, Braves look like they are rounding into pretty good shape right now as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it leaves Atlanta dangerously weak at the PG position and 2 roster spots short of 15, while increasing our cap amount about 5 million while lowering Cleveland's considerably. Looking at this logically, I really, really, really don't like losing Dennis. I am a huge fan of his potential. Dennis in 2 years will be stellar. Love + Rose +Dwight is very scary. We would own the boards, have multiple solid scorers and that extra draft pick. The trade machine also assumes +4 wins for the Hawks but less wins for both the Knicks and Cavs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sap is a free agent while Love is under team control so non-basketball reasons makes that an improvement but it isn't worth the declining, selfish Rose.
