Premium Member sturt Posted February 3, 2020 Premium Member Report Share Posted February 3, 2020 Spud, if my math is correct, HOU would have to put out 24m in order to receive a 32m contract. The third-team alternative would have Hayward going to that third team, and the Rockets getting someone from the third team whose salary is within +$5m of Capela's. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spud2nique Posted February 3, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2020 2 minutes ago, AHF said: But for Houston alone, they can't take on 32M and only ship out 14M. They still have to match salaries (with the usual wiggle room around how to do that). A third team doesn't change the minimum amount of salary that Houston would have to ship out to take on $32M more. Where a third team makes it easier is by allowing a team over the cap to shed salary - not add more. Oh good point that’s right my bad. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya Celts can’t do that they don’t have anyone that makes enough salary. I had a brain fart there thinking the 3rd team could provide the missing salary and get assets in return for their trouble. Ya that doesn’t work. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member sturt Posted February 3, 2020 Premium Member Report Share Posted February 3, 2020 It's okay. At first, I was imagining a scenario where Morey goes out and gets Drummond in a Capela deal, but for the same reasons, that's not very likely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya that doesn’t work. I think Nene is making $10 million so Houston would have to find a team to take his salary. But IIRC his deal is kinda screwy (Houston tried to circumvent the cap) so it can only count $2.5 mil against the cap. So Houston doesn't have the salary to send out. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spud2nique Posted February 4, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2020 This is one that I mentioned a couple months ago on the trade section. The Hawks would prefer a cheaper alternative—such as Capela, or Cavaliers center Tristan Thompson, according to sources—and invest any savings in another ball handler who complements Young. – via Kevin O'Connor @ The Ringer 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could be one of those out of no where trades Schlenk makes.

It would probably cost a salary filler plus a second round pick, but Cavs might be asking for slightly more even though Tristan will be a FA this summer. I like the fit. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically Drummn'd but at like a third the cost plus has actually won ... well, he's seen winning from beside those actually contributing to wins so ... that counts. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's an expiring, so I wouldn't offer much. Would probably take a high 2nd or 2 lower 2nds. Unfortunately Hawks don't have their 2020 or 2021 2nds. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least flip them for future ones. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzzard Posted February 4, 2020 Report Share Posted February 4, 2020 (edited) Spurs are working on trading DeMarre Carroll. Could he be the Rockets Plan B wing? If so, can we still help them out cap wise and take Capela off their hands? https://nba.nbcsports.com/2020/02/03/report-spurs-working-with-demarre-carroll-on-trade/ Edited February 4, 2020 by Buzzard 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTB Posted February 4, 2020 Report Share Posted February 4, 2020 I don’t like the addition of a Tristan Thompson and all his Kardahian drama but I will get over it . capela is much better however. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spud2nique Posted February 4, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2020 We need to run a poll. Who squawk likes better. A. Adams B. Capela C. Drummond D. Stand pat (minor deal maybe) I know it depends on the assets we give up but in the end if we get each on a good trade, who is the best fit here. I usually have a pretty decisive opinion but a bit torn here myself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buzzard Posted February 4, 2020 Report Share Posted February 4, 2020 24 minutes ago, Gray Mule said: "B" Agree, its B. Capela's fit, contract, and production is the most attractive trade. A with Adams is 2nd because even though the contract is more of a hit, it is only for one season. I have been put off on Drummond's contract expectations and prefer chasing Montrezl Harrell or Tristan Thompson in free agency instead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
