russell for tyus jones works under the cap and puts us under the tax, i think. bet we'd pay something in draft capital to make that happen. maybe all the way up to a protected pick swap. something like 2 2nds and a lotto-protected swap on whichever pick NO doesn't take? jones is a FA this summer.

rozier and dinwiddie make some sense, too, but both require adding salary and/or additional players to the deal.

schroder and a player toronto doesn't want can work, but they're right up against the tax, too, so we can't benefit in that way there. also their coach wants us dead.

fultz probably isn't in orlando's long-term plans (suggs seems to have found his spot and they drafted black). he's also a bad shooter, so that makes sense. also a FA this summer.

detroit sucks and doesn't want to: how about monte morris and killian hayes? morris has been out all year but is theoretically alive? two gabes! can swap out bagley or wiseman to get another big.

brogdon works straight up. portland would want to extract some blood, though. i might prefer jones depending on how much.

i'm tapped out.

 

Amick on trade targets

 

Tyus Jones would be pretty nice. I'm not sure he's exactly what this team needs to level up this season, but longer term I really like him in a backcourt with Reaves and Christie.

I think DLo and Reddish for Rozier works, but yeah Rozier still has some significant money left. Rozier has been scoring really well this year and is probably the best fit for what we need right now of the guys on this list. Would also open up more minutes for Max, who has looked better to me over the last couple of weeks than he did at the start of the season.

 

Amazing what minutes and playing time will do for a good young player …. who’d a thunk it?

 

Sweat Stain wants as many headliners for the Toilet Bowl as possible

 

Beard too probably with the big money. Thanks for your team first attitude and sacrifice this year Russ …. sorry no money left for you.

 

Lenard has played in 56.1% of his team's regular season games since joining the Clippers , missing 151 of 344 games.
But who's counting definitely not Balmer
Leonard signed a contract extension with the Clippers on Wednesday for $152.4 million over three years.
He is getting more than 50 millions per season ..

 

Cue his creepy laugh.

 

harden's a free agent and they have his full bird rights and thus can pay him a lot of cash. how far is ballmer willing to go? part of why harden demanded out of philly was that contract he's playing under right now. he thinks he deserves max, too.

they're over the tax next year BEFORE harden's salary. could potentially have a 210 million dollar payroll. ours is 165 for reference.

 

just feel like we'll get outbid for murray. i also chicago will need to save some face on a lavine trade, particularly if it involves caruso. we can't really offer something that doesn't make them look bad, imo.

i do agree that lavine has negative trade value, btw--just not sure chicago will be convinced or that they won't trade him for an even larger problem that is more exciting as a headline (like a westbrook type move).

 

I wonder how differently this season looks if we just kept Dennis and didn't sign Gabe. I legitimately think it's a 3-4 win difference at this point.

 

Yes! Let’s keep the Toileteers together!
