Premium Member JayBirdHawk Posted June 22, 2018 Premium Member Report Share Posted June 22, 2018 Now that the Draft is over and Free Agency looms July 1st. What's the Hawks plans? Schlenck said on radio this morning, they'll just sit back and let the FA frenzy play out and sign one or two FAs to fill out the roster. We had approximately $26 mill in capspace minus our 3 rookies, so maybe about $16 mil now. An extra $5 if Moose opts out. (My nimbers maybe slightly be off as I'm doing this from memory). I still think we'll have a chance to gain some future asset(s) from teams looking to dump salary. Bucks, Wiz, Wolves, Nuggets, Pistons, Blazers, Spurs - all teams that were looking to dump contracts before the draft. They'll still be looking to make moves in FA Baze, Dennis, Plumlee - what's next and where to? I wonder if the Dedmon opt in was to go to Bucks since we had a trade lined up with them for #17?

I would love to get Jabari Parker for cheap, but I am looking more forward to Summer League July 2nd. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFuzz Posted June 22, 2018 Report Share Posted June 22, 2018 Take on some salary for as many future picks as we can, try and finagle Dennis and Dedmob into picks too, even if it means taking on some bad money. None of the FAs interest me all that much. Capela maybe 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnice Posted June 22, 2018 Report Share Posted June 22, 2018 Do they get a veteran as a 3rd point guard, just to hold it down if needed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member JayBirdHawk Posted June 24, 2018 Author Premium Member Report Share Posted June 24, 2018 Didn't think he would opt out and leave $28 mil on the table. With both him and Daryl Arthur picking up their option, Denver is now over the cap and will be into the Luxury Tax after resigning Jokic. Hawks will be in position to take on salary dumps for an asset. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royjr9 Posted June 24, 2018 Report Share Posted June 24, 2018 If we move Baze I would kick the tires on mccaw. He’s young a defender and golden state may not pay much as they are facing luxury tax he’ll even before Durant is resigned. Noel intrests me but for the right price. He’s a defender and after being effectively ostrizized by Dallas could be a buy cheap prove it type. I think it takes the max that Capela can get to get him here and I don’t care for him. The rest of our space take a bad contract for future capital. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope there is a bidding war for cap space. I’d like to see Dennis, Baze, or Plumlee moved in exchange for some expiring deals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member JayBirdHawk Posted June 25, 2018 Author Premium Member Report Share Posted June 25, 2018 Denver will need to shed salary if they want to stay under the tax. Faried ($13.5 mil) and 2020 1st into our capspace. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best thing I can say about that deal is that at least we gave it to Baze and not Evan "the Human Dumpster Fire" Turner. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is true ...can’t say that he didn’t repeat the “DPS” comment several times. Good point...Travis may feel he has his splash brothers and draymond green already via draft and perhaps is looking for his iggy (shutdown defender off the bench ) in say Marcus Smart? This is the one time I’d say don’t take C Vivs tweet with a grain of salt .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want anything from Boston, they haven't looked so good when they leave Brad. 2. He'll command too much money and I don't think we are in a position to do that. 3. I'd rather give Bembry a his last shot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forgot about Bembry he may flourish under Pierce....good points Bembry just need to stay healthy at this point . He’s shown some good defensive potential. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seems like a decent fit with Trae (Smart guards the 2's) and I've seen articles indicating that while he wants a nice 8 figure per season salary that he is unlikely to get it. Boston is hoping to resign him at Dedmon salary levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
