It is strange that they have been rumored to want to dump him for almost two years, yet cannot get anything done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d take MPJr/Faried to relieve their cap. However, if it hasn’t happened yet, they probably aren’t willing to part with anything to make the dump worthwhile for their trade partner. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they were hoping that Chandler and Athur would opt out, particularly Chandler who has bee unhappy there. They are/were looking for some type of asset in return for him. They probably wanted our #19 for #14 and Faried. How about a 2020 1st (top 10 protected) for Chandler, Faried, Arthur (all expirings) $32 mil in exchange for Baze. ($18 mil). Saves Denver $14 mil and get a useful player at the wing that plays defense. Hawks pretty much take on $14 mil for the pick since we're sending Baze out. Arthur may take a medical retirement so he can be cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member JayBirdHawk Posted July 1, 2018 Author Premium Member Report Share Posted July 1, 2018 I wonder what effect this may have on teams willing to pay the luxury tax as opposed to trading a 1st to dump salary? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KB21 Posted July 1, 2018 Report Share Posted July 1, 2018 The Lakers are turning their attention to Boogie Cousins. They will still need to get Deng's deal off their books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cousins is a really talented player, but you just don't want to have to count on him... Especially not for big bucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In other news: I think it is likely that the Hawks will take LA's 2021 and 2023 1st to get Deng's bad contract, and they then move Bazemore to New Orleans for Solomon Hill, Alexis Ajinca, and a 1st. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KB21 Posted July 1, 2018 Report Share Posted July 1, 2018 Time to put the screws to Denver. We will take the Faried, Arthur, or Chandler deals if you give us Michael Porter Jr. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
