Premium Member turnermx Posted July 31, 2018 Premium Member Report Share Posted July 31, 2018 I agree if this is true. But I havent heard Travis say hes willing to move Baze for little value...............Source? I seriously doubt he would get a longer term deal to tie up cap at this juncture. That continues with the presumptive narrative. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they are trying to either A) up interest or B) get that 3rd team involved and act as a pass through for Anderson. With teams with empty cap space drying up, it gets harder and harder to come up with value added pass throughs for someone with a salary like Anderson.

He literally told Dallas that the Hawks would do a 5 for 3 trade if they took back Bazemore and gave us Wes Matthews and his expiring deal. Travis has been talking to New Orleans for a while now about a deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not a good deal, because he tried to do that in lieu of getting the 2019 draft pick. He was basically saying that if they would take on Baze, we would drop down two slots with nothing else of value being given. When Dallas balked at taking Baze, then Travis agreed to take the 2019 pick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides, moving Baze' contract to go younger before the draft is different than giving him away right now for Anderson, when hes owed even more $ than Bazemore is..

GameTime Posted August 1, 2018 Report Share Posted August 1, 2018 A first round pick for Baze is a solid deal. I have a feeling we would be wishing this if we keep Baze and he goes back to 34% from 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member Popular Post Sothron Posted August 1, 2018 Premium Member Popular Post Report Share Posted August 1, 2018 We need to keep Bazemore. You can't have a roster full of young kids and one token veteran in Vince Carter than no one would listen to because he's not a starter. Baze played well last season. There's absolutely no need to get rid of him just to get something like Anderson's bloated contract. Unless we get a sweet deal for Baze I'd absolutely keep him. If he has a good first half his trade value only goes up. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No free agent is going to choose to sign with a sub 20 win team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
