I don't think we could get rid of Lin if we were offering to include a pick. He's been that bad. Still think Hill and Davis are LA's only desirable assets league wide.
As an amnesty pickup, I do not believe Boozer can be traded. If he can, I'm all for it, he almost won us a game last night. Lin, Nash, sure I'd trade either if picks can be had and we don't take on salary, because they're both kinda big expirings and we need that money this offseason.
^^ Yeah, that's kind of a no brainer that you can't move someone you got on amnesty. Why mention Booz? The obvious candidates are Hill, Nash's expiring and Lin.
the only one worth getting rid of is nash just so we can finally move past that disaster keep everyone else and just keep tanking
I think Lin's value is essentially zero. His contract is too high for his production, he's best suited as a bench guard... The question is: are Lin's Bird-Rights worth giving up a pick? Even a 2nd round pick? I wouldn't do it, but maybe someone will. I hope so. Boozer can't be traded. I'd love to keep Davis around and I think it's a good gamble for us to keep him and bet on him re-signing for a good value. Same goes for Ellington. Hill needs to be traded. Kelly can be traded. Price can be traded if we find a taker willing to give up a pick or something (doubtful). Tarik Black is a guy we need to bring back. He looks like a solid keeper and a solid rotation player. Clarkson, Young, Kobe, Randle, and Black are the only ones I don't want to move for sure. If we get good offers on anyone else, I probably take it.
I'm sure there are teams that need to unload some salary and would look a Lin's 14.8 mil as an attractive expiring. It seems unlikely that there is anyone out there the FO would be willing to load up on salary with right now though. Normal years, we'd be look for a guy or two to push us over the edge but this isn't a normal year. I think Mitch and Buss would want the books clear and let him expire. Might even resign him real cheap as a 3rd string guard.
We should try to get Brandon Knight for Lin & Hill. The Bucks are trying to win this season & that would give them 2 solid pieces of veteran depth. They also get out of having to match a max deal for Knight in Free Agency.
