Dallas and a couple teams may spend but everybody else is bargain shoppping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvin24Williams Posted June 21, 2018 Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 Awesome. I thought for sure he would opt out and test the waters. Wait can we still absorb Farieds contract? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KB21 Posted June 21, 2018 Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 This probably means a trade is lined up, and they needed him to go ahead and exercise that option for the trade. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Peoriabird Posted June 21, 2018 Premium Member Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 I expect some apologies at some point. Especially from those who were convinced he was signing with Milwaukee 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait can we still absorb Farieds contract? Yes I think so since he was a cap hold anyway. The thing this does is make him a signed asset that can now be traded. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we'll still have about $16+ mil if we renounce any other FA capholds. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post hazer Posted June 21, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 Hory shet, that’s kick ass any way you look at it. Hawks either have their starter back or a valuable trade piece. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathan2331 Posted June 21, 2018 Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 This is great news. I was expecting him to opt out but I'm glad to have him aboard if we don't end up trading him. Hopefully we won't need to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought people were saying the Hawks were going to be one of the few teams with a lot of space. 16 million isn’t much at all. As bad as this team is it’s going to take a lot more cash than that.

Hawks either have their starter back or a valuable trade piece. I wonder if this has anything at all to do with a trade. Schlenk would have communicated this with him and Dedmon would have approved of the trade partner; otherwise he would have waited. This smells of something as usually options are not exercised until the last minute. This gives their agent time to gauge the interest. The deadline is the 29th; so a full week and change ahead of the deadline. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As bad as this team is it’s going to take a lot more cash than that. That should read $26 million. I remember seeing that if we renounced all FA capholds, both Dedmon ($7.2) and Moose opt out ($5) we could have as much as $40 million in capspace. My apologies. So $40 - $12, so $28 million. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But greatness and signing max free agents this year, come on man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is what I see also. 26 to 28 in cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
