Hey, if everyone knows we're scared of the tax, sitting comfortably just under it should mean this is where we have the most leverage in negotiations, right?!

I know we are not even 48 hours into FAcy, but my frustration is already getting to a point. After waiting and waiting all last offseason for a move......and none came......don't think I have the patience for a similar offseason. I typically go to 10 games or so per year, I went to 1 game last season, opening night.......we'll see what this year brings. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve unfortunately gaslit myself into thinking that silence means that we’re working on a big trade before July 6. I think I’m going to be disappointed… again. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dejay Posted Tuesday at 04:52 PM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 04:52 PM We all was thinking that this was the Hawks 'big move' to get someone to help in the paint. We all was thinking it. I could see Laundry now, with Mr. Ressling I and II riding shotgun next to him, desperately trying to defend the move like those store brands selling cereal knockoffs ('If you love Trix, you're going to love Pranks!!!'). So if Eddy Curry was Baby Shaq, Kenneth Lofton would've been the Temu Shaq... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member JayBirdHawk Posted Tuesday at 05:03 PM Premium Member Report Share Posted Tuesday at 05:03 PM Hunter to LAC (PG replacement) for Terrance Mann and PJ Tucker. Route Tucker to another team for a couple seconds....under the Tax. Opens up MLE to sign Slo Mo, sign Tristan Vucevic. Still have CC to trade. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should make our threats not to offer someone enough money to require us to pay the tax super credible but I'm not sure how that helps us in negotiations with FAs or other teams. Just kind of puts us in a position where it is easy to outbid us (with the caveat that we could salary dump someone and then add salary to stay under the line such as sending Capela in a SNT for someone another team was just going to let walk).
