    Why the hell would we need to take a bad contract and a pick just to get Leonard?

    We have enough assets to get him right now...I don't understand why we'd need to do this?

    I am hoping this is untrue...

    Depends on what we take back and how we move those contracts, but yes we could.

    LeBron- 35.4
    Kawhi- 20.1
    Faried- 13.8
    Lonzo- 7.5
    Kuzma- 1.7
    Hart- 1.7
    Wagner- 1.5
    Bryant- 1.4
    Mykhailiuk- 0.86
    cap holds- 86.5

    Technically we could have that and still have room to keep Randle.

    I know this isn't a trade thread, but would you guys consider this? Would the other teams consider this?

    LA: Sabonis
    IND: Randle (S&T)
    ATL/CHI: Deng, IND 1st

    If it results in us acquiring Kawhi, and signing LeBron while also keeping BI, Kuz, Zo and Hart, but losing out on PG13, then SIGN ME UP!

    Oh wow...that actually works. I guess this would mean goodbye PG13...but we get to keep the kids and get LeBron and Kawhi? Plus Pau returns to the Lakers? I'm down.

    Denver has a team salary of 105M and still has to pay Porter (3M) on rookie deal, would like to keep Barton (7M cap hold) and is going to max out Jokic (25.4m)...they need to shed salary in the worst way.

    Faried (expiring 14M) was rumored to be on the move draft night...

    S&T Jules, expiring Faried, Future Denver 1sts, Future Lakers 1st, rights to Moe and Bonga, Zu, TB for Kawhi and Pau (dumping salary)

    Kawhi (20)
    Pau (17)
    Deng (18)
    Zo/BI/Kuz/Hart (16)
    = 71m (30m in cap space)

    You can get a maxed out PG out right, or tell Bron to take a haircut. If not, then stretch Deng and max out Bron.

    Spare the kids and bring in Kawhi/Bron....while Pg can play hot potato with Westbrook in OKC.

    Separate deal. Or you could easily stretch him and have almost 10 million left over.

    Hey Indy, don't be a Pritchbitch this time...why don't you dump Thaddeus Young onto us by attaching a 1st so that you can have enough cap to go after Aaron Gordon. If not, we're on the phone with Denver to get a similar deal done.

    We can even expand it to Atl where Shroeder wanted to team up with Oladipo in Indy. Atlanta, we know you have 3 1st rounders next draft and are trying to get off Baze...want in?

    I don't mind the idea conceptually; but I need to see the details.

    You are so good at coming up with scenarios...wouldn't be surprised if Rob is scouring the internet for intel like this!

    They can't afford me...;)


    And I see great grandpapi still hasn't gone to see the optometrist yet...

    Did you really read TB as Two? Hahaha

    "Yeah, my great grandpapi is coming in for an eye appointment...could you please test for cataracts and glaucoma as well?"

    [​IMG]

    Seriously tho, I don't know why some of yall are getting hung up on this particular quote. I'm only showing that any combination of our available assets is competitive to other trade packages that teams are willing to give up for a possible rental.

    Btw, I need remediation in all walks of life, not just math...

    Is Pritchard still the Indy GM? Then, it's not even a remote possibility.

    Ok, I gave you a pass the first two times, but now I gots to take Junior to the woodshed.

    This is YOUR scenario from that original post:

    Jules = 1 player
    BI = 1 player
    Kuz = 1 player
    Hart = 1 player
    Zu = 1 player
    TB = 1 player
    Future 1sts (plural) = minimum of 2 players
    Moe = 1 player
    Svi = 1 player
    Bonga = 1 player
    ------------------------
    Equals = ELEVEN players

    I know you whippersnappers are into this #newmath, but I'm thinking that those numbers still add up to ELEVEN.

    Oh, and nice job trying to wriggle out with the "not saying that's the package". Might have worked for you too, if you hadn't followed that with

    "but at the most this is what we can offer which can compete with any other team's best offer for a rental" which in plain English means that you were willing to offer that much.

    I can at least agree with this part of your original post: "Btw, I need remediation in all walks of life, not just math..."
