All nice guys to have as your 4-7 players in the rotation. None are really core pieces worthy of being the best piece of a trade for James Harden. The 'best piece' will be the multiple firsts they extract. But we'll see. I don't know if i'm believing this gets done. watch it probably just got done. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if we run it back with only some useful vets and a new lottery pick, we won't be the same team next season. I know. I just get caught up in the "what if" dreaming every year. Nothing's done yet so it still could happen. I've just gotten to the "dang nothings going to happen" stage of the annual trade saga. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which means he can't be included in a trade on draft night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have to grow into a respectable team before any FAs will want to come here. No one wanted to go to Golden State in 2012 just like no one wants to join us right now. I don't even blame these guys -- it's a huge risk coming into a losing program in a smaller market. If Trae/Collins/Cam can turn things around and expand the market here (and win games obviously), we can grow into a program guys have on their short lists. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely makes a trade more interesting if this years draft picks aren’t involved edit: missed the closing part of your reply my bad Edited November 17, 2020 by Marvin24Williams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure who would be entertaining Hayward trades though as he'd be an expensive 1 year rental 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTB Posted November 17, 2020 Report Share Posted November 17, 2020 I’m just wondering what we are going to do with all that cap space sitting there. This free agency isn’t great at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member JayBirdHawk Posted November 17, 2020 Premium Member Report Share Posted November 17, 2020 @NBASupes @thecampster 1. Is the 3 teamer trade still on? 2. Is it more likely to happen tomorrow during the draft tomorrow or on Friday the 20th when FAcy starts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Bledsoe, George Hill, and three first rounders. The truth is Bledsoe is not that far behind Jrue. The first rounders are meaningless. Kinda.

Honestly I would rather pay someone one year large salary to get to the floor if need be rather than blow the cap on middling talent. Either use it on an AS player like Hayward or a need like backup PG and sit on the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neanderballer Posted November 17, 2020 Report Share Posted November 17, 2020 Even if he opts in, couldn't we absorb him into salary cap space in a trade and then just extend him at a more reasonable number going forward? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member JayBirdHawk Posted November 17, 2020 Premium Member Report Share Posted November 17, 2020 Wait a minute...has FAcy started? Lots of crying already about not signing any FAs when it hasn't officially kicked off. At least wait until Friday at 6:03PM 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
