There were rumors about Hawks/Detroit trade rumors at the deadline regarding Murray. Possibility of this being revisted ?
@Sothron @thecampster @NBASupes @Mikey @Vol4ever
Jalen Smith from Indy 6'-10", 23 years. Might be odd man out in rotation.
Currently has a player option for $5.4 million.
Can play C and PF, shot 42.4% from 3 (low volume).
Offer 3yrs/$24 - $30 mill.
Agreed on the Cavs big. Still waiting for Mobley to be the next Chris Bosh on offense.
BroLo played 30 mpg this year at shot 36.6% from 3. I think he still has 'something' left and he's durable - 79 games played. $23 mil. price tag, sim to CC.
What are the OTHER piece(s)?
Hawks have to send out more salary, so who will it be?
Will this be a trade that happens once the season/playoffs ends but before the new league year or after July 1st?
Difference in ongoing salaries makes a difference:
Before July 1: BI $33.8 mil. DJ $18.2 mil.
After July 1: BI $36 mil. DJ $25.4 mil.
I don't know that I want to pay the taller version of Murray twice as much though. Hawks are in desperate need of some DEFENSE, TOUGHNESS and GRIT on the wing and frontcourt.
