You guys just don't get it. 

This was a salary DUMP.  That is all.   They are not going to use all of the TPE and put them back in the LT...

If anything more salaries will be dropped. 

How are we supposed to extend OO and DJM and Bey?

Maybe we get some relief with the timing of Bogi's contract.   But with JJ and AJ to come the long game says that we will be moving more salary either this year or next. 

I expect we will trade for a cheap contract.  If not a Rookie or First Year, then somebody who has 1 more year on their deal making under 7.3 Million. 

 Orlando traded for Jarace Walker.  You ought to hope that a first and 2 2nds can get us Franz M. 

 

Diesel,

This is not a salary Dump at all, it is a prelude to another move (a bigger move).

One point of speculation nobody has mentioned (that I saw) was does this open up time for OO at the 4 and Bruno as the backup 5?

But here is the question about that, if you do something like that, would it applied that Capella will be staying here ( For me I think him and Hunter is about to go soon)

He has limited handles? Yep

He has limited moves outside of straight line drives? Yep

He definitely has defensive impact especially on the wing

He has limited rebounding for a wing? Yep

He's decent on offense to me most of the time, that's your opinion of the corpse's shit. 

Shit, you forgot to mention he's a poor passer with limited vision. 

And yes, it's still Trae's fault. It's been Trae's fault and unless he changes, it will CONTINUE to be Trae's fault. 

Why? 

Shit decision-making skills while dominating time of possession on the ball and dribbling the air out of the ball. 

Horrendous shot selection - Josh Smith levels of shitty

Horrible time managing skills, for someone who loves Steve Nash, I don't think he watched any Nash outside of highlights because Nash's best trait was his time management with the ball. That's the one area where he shits on the Point Gawd, CP3. Nash had a perfect feel for when to pass, shoot, execute the play, create magic, etc. He just had the best feel for the game. Joker is close but he's not Nash at that. Instead, Trae is just like Marbury. Just doing shit for stats and if it would give him a stat. He doesn't do shit to win, he does shit to produce on paper. It's f***ing idiotic. 

Movement off the ball is asstastic. I think it was you that tried to say, he just need another handler. We got Murray, it's more disastrous than even I thought it would be. 

He's a streaky-ass shooter which to be fair, most of our guys are including Dre. 

He is constantly is trying to get bailed out by refs doing idiotic bogus shit that just irks players, coaches, and fanbases. 

Defensively, he's the WOAT. nothing much more needs to be said than that. 

And he's massively overpaid. 

So yes, he's the f***ing problem. 

Yeah I think you need to cover your eyes for a while since Trae is face of this franchise and he might be those things atleast he try, I think Hunter might be better off with another team right now.  

Yeah, I hate it when @NBASupes is like this.

Right now, I dont see any of those wings doing better when they are on another team, heck Cam got traded twice.  Trae is not perfect but atleast he is going to keep in the game or shoot you out of it.  

@Spud2nique

It is not you but it's me.  In fact, you are in my top ten posters on these forums.

The Huerter trade last year put us on this position. This is why I said they didn't need to make the trade when they did. Could have had him to start the season, particularly since we needed him Bogi injured, and make a mid season trade if needed.

Now we are in a situation where teams will offer up trash not value for those players.  Geez, This team can not get a break to save our lives.

I predict another Huerter type trade this summer.

 

 

and I have to agree with you on that and I was wondering why we gave out those large contracts for in the first place.

We wanted to get back real value, Mavs wanted a salary dump. That's the issue Fields is going to face trying to trade Capela/JC/Hunter.

Plus thanks to all of these media types talking about that mandate, teams is going to lowball offers for all of them.   

I think we will be under, if they want OO to start I dont think they will bring Capella off the bench.  So he will be traded and I got a feeling that Hunter or JC will be traded as well.

@Spud2nique, it is just a simple question not a GIF spam-a-thon.

I hope we don't wait to trade him.

They are going to wait and give him the max anyway.

I mean, we can't live 2024 today.  Gotta just get through Thursday.  

Nothing wrong with taking a guy to develop.  Could facilitate fixing some of the down the line issues that are keeping you up at night. 

Nope it is not the down the line issues, we just got too many issues right now to develop another young talent.  I have faith but its waning a lot now.

We are probably going to do Cash thing on the 2nd round.  Can I go to bed?

Can't just trade for anything.  IIWII 

But it is better than Kobe is going to be with Skyhawks more than the team.  I am sorry, I hope that he proves me wrong about him but right now, we got other bigger issues right now. Besides we have to pay the piper in two years anyway.

There really wasn't any good options for the frontcourt at 15. 

Then trade the pick, if they does not want to be in LT, then they just trade the pick.  There is no more playing time for the kid unless you trade somebody and we got bigger issues to deal with besides that logjam.  This pick gets a D+ from me

I am so against this pick, we got alot of other problems right now and you pick up another Murray that will not see any time on the court and not trying to figure out the front court situation.  I swear this is looking like another WLOC moment.

I WANT A TRADE, I WANT A TRADE!

Even after a trade, how will 4 shooting guards get minutes?

I know and you still have to pay them too.  Yeah, Second Apron here we come!

1 minute ago, Peoriabird said:

How many shooting guards do we have on this team now?  5?

Yeah, got to have that insurance when we TRADE one of them or he is going to be at College Park

Trade?Trade?

I need a traadde man

and another reason why we should hated Dallas with a passion.  I think we should trade back now.

Just now, ABH said:

I like our core !!

and you must like that first or second apron?

Hmm, staying 15 is fine but we will still have to deal with the logjam in the front court with Capella/Hunter/Collins

But I think we will do something, but very small.
