thecampster Posted January 31, 2020 Report Share Posted January 31, 2020 FYI, Portland is shopping Hassan Whiteside for a high second and cap relief. They are currently 6.4 million over the cap again and would love to get under the threshold. Current estimated tax bill is about $10 million.

Hawks don't have a 2nd in 2020 or 2021 plus I'm just not a Whineside fan. I don't need anymore Portland players infecting the locker room. 3 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that culture infected Turner, who previously seemed to be a good guy in the locker room, than imagine would it has done to Whiteside, who already had issues previously in Miami. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post thecampster Posted January 31, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 31, 2020 That never stopped...what they aren't interested in is meeting the extension demand and the higher 1st. But the talks went cold because Drummond wanted some guarantees they aren't ready to meet. He's thinking 30 mil a year for the next contract +. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh hell no..Just sign Ibaka for a year or two in the offseason. He actually fits our offense. Or Baynes even. I dont want DRummond for 30 mill.... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His market value should be way under 30 but still would probably be more than Capela currently getting solely due to the demand for starting Cs in the league. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I can’t understand is why they would Keep pursuing Drummond if he’s stuck on his 30 mil per and they aren’t ready to commit to some kind of extension .....are they interested in his bird rights perhaps ? Is his bird rights an asset for Schlenk? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is really going to have a rude awakening in free agency ! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Vol4ever Posted February 1, 2020 Premium Member Report Share Posted February 1, 2020 Why is Houston considering moving Capela. I heard about this today and was told they not rely wanting to move him unless Towns is available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think they move Townes unless he forces another Anthony Davis fiasco. The league allowed LJ and the Lakers to get AD and rewarded NO with the #1 pick. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man, I really don't want to think about doing that. I like both guys but Collins might end up being better all around than Towns while obviously the inferior offensive player were he to be paired with a legit starting C 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s no telling how good collins will be once he has a good starting center next to him! He’s worth holding on to unless the player in return is simply too talented to pass up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LucastheThird Posted February 1, 2020 Report Share Posted February 1, 2020 I'm going to need a bonafide superstar and more to let Collins go. He would've been pushing to be an All Star this year if he didn't get suspended. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he really believes he's going to get 30 per, but he probably expects to be paid more than what Vucevic got (25 AAV). And some team will probably give it to him. Hopefully not us.

Popular Post kg01 Posted February 1, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 1, 2020 A brief break for comedy .... Quote lol and whos to say collins wouldnt be a backup on a good team? he probably wouldn’t be starting on the rockets if he were here. there’s also a good chance he gets caught again for peds and gets banned for life from the nba. why risk trading for such a knucklehead.morey needs to ask for deandre hunter and cam reddish... or no deal. heck, i’d throw in a first along with capela to get those 2. .. this is from HOU's board http://bbs.clutchfans.net/index.php?threads/shams-hawks-interested-in-capela.303506/page-10 ("clutch" fans? really?) So, to recap, Collins is a backup, he's a "knucklehead", probably gonna get banned for life. And, if that's not enough, guy wants to trade Hunter, Reddish (yes, that's and not or), plus a 1st ... for Clint freaking Capela? Do we sound like this to opposing fans? 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
