Dragitoff Posted July 7 Report Share Posted July 7 2 minutes ago, JayBirdHawk said: Well the good news is, the $23 mil JCE TPE has been exhausted or close to it. Nance $11.2 + Dyson $6.0 + Lydell $2.1 = $19.3 mil. That leaves $3.7 million. (Depending in the Zeller amount). Better news, we've created another TPE from the DJ trade ~$28 million (if the trade kicker is include, if not ~$25 million). So once again, we'll be the holder of the largest TPE in the NBA.

Better to have it than not but I’m game for an avatar bet for anyone who thinks we are going to use it to add a big salary. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trade still makes us better (it would be hard to come up with one that didn’t) but it is farther from a strong return than it already was after today’s changes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is like saying we agree to give up our pick this year if we win the lottery and then telling people to lighten up because us winning the lottery is exceedingly unlikely. Just because it is improbable doesn’t mean it is value you should give away. The fact that we did it while taking Zeller is an insult to the fan base. This really pisses me off even though I agree that is almost impossible to make any practical difference because the pick is already thoroughly protected and limited in value by being a worst of pick. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member JayBirdHawk Posted July 7 Premium Member Report Share Posted July 7 The finality of this trade shows that we did not need to wait for it to be finalized to get other deals announced if they had any intentions of signing ANY FREE AGENTS. That wasn't part of the plan. 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That wasn't part of the plan. That’s the real sad part for those that understand the financial aspect and the mechanics (their ability to get FA commitments beyond this trade). There were chances as we know. But alas our FO chose not to take advantage of high quality free agents. actions speak louder than words Laundry Edited July 7 by theheroatl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony literally has a better chance of hitting the powerball than both the Bucks and the Pelicans being in the top 4. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly they won that negotiation. It’s something you push for value even though “they won’t ever be in the lottery that year”.

It'll be 'we had some deals that just didn't get done' “And since we couldn’t do any of those good deals we did the next best thing. We acquired Zeller and all we had to give up was top 4 protection on our new pick. I still wonder why SA wouldn’t let us protect our picks when we traded them. I kept telling them to lighten up and just let us protect them 1-4 but they insisted on 3 unprotected picks (one swap to be fair) in a row from 2025-2027. And if they insist what can you do other than lay down and give in? We did it with the Spurs and we proudly did it again today with the Pelicans.
