Premium Member mrhonline Posted June 27, 2007 Premium Member Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 I'm not sure what the Hawks are going to do for a PG, but I do know that Amare is still BYC. That changes on July 1st, which would explain Sothron's message about waiting a few days to clear things up. We would be drafting for the Wolves, and the KG trade would go down on July 1st (and perhaps getting an additional player from Phoenix). It's all a matter of complicated math, so perhaps Atlanta's being under the cap could make the trade possible on draft night? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member mrhonline Posted June 27, 2007 Author Premium Member Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 One more thing that could be complicating things - the Hawks can't trade both the #3 and the #11 without getting a pick back in return. I imagine that the #24 or #29 from Phoenix would be coming to Atlanta, and used to replace some of Childress' production. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 We need to insist that we either get both of Phoenix's late picks (so that we can package them to move up for a young PG), our pick back next year, or we keep our #11 and include another player or future pick.

Premium Member mrhonline Posted June 27, 2007 Author Premium Member Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 I don't think you push your luck with this trade. IF you can get Amare without trading Marvin, JJ, or Smith, you do whatever it takes, IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragitoff Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 Couldn't they because I thought the rules stated that you couldn't go into consecutive years w/o draft picks so essentially the Hawks would be alright. They DID draft two players that they chose to trade. I don't know if that's right, but just what I was understanding. I'd be ecstatic about getting Amare and the #24 or #29 pick from Pheonix.

exodus Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 Quote: Amare is still BYC. Good catch. I was thinking in terms of free agents which didn't really make sense because you still have to agree to contract terms, they have to want to come here and they have to fit what we want. I couldn't think of any scenarios that made sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member mrhonline Posted June 27, 2007 Author Premium Member Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 HF, BYC rules scare the crap out of me. They're absurd. Plus, it appear that both Amare and Garnett have trade kickers. You wanna give it a shot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Amare has 4 years left on his deal - how does that effect the Hawks management ability to do this trade? What was the ruling concerning aquiring long term contracts?

Premium Member mrhonline Posted June 27, 2007 Author Premium Member Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 IIRC, a majority of owners have to sign off on the deal. In that case, it's not a problem because Amare is immensely marketable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member mrhonline Posted June 27, 2007 Author Premium Member Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 Well, there's really three camps of owners, and only one of those is Belkin. Can someone do a better job of explaining this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidSomerset Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 I don't know why he would be opposed...Amare is not only a great player, but also a great marketing asset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member mrhonline Posted June 27, 2007 Author Premium Member Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 Assuming this goes to Minnesota: a. Kurt Thomas = $7.36M b. Tyronn Lue = $3.50M c. Lorenzen Wright = $3.00M (this # varies, we'll go with the lowest number) d. Josh Childress = $2.86M e. $100K to match salaries Total = $16.72M Minnesota outgoing: $21.00M (does not include trade kicker) Minnesota incoming: $16.82M Phoenix outgoing: $13.36 (needs to be at least $16.80M) Phoenix incoming: $21.00M (does not include trade kicker) Atlanta outgoing: $9.36M Atlanta incoming: $12.00M (does not include trade kicker) ---- ---- ---- ---- Long story short, Phoenix needs to send at least $3.5M more to Minnesota to makes this work before July 1st.

Realgm trade checker says Amsre has 4 years left on his contract, not 5. We don't need Belkin for 4 year contracts do we?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member mrhonline Posted June 27, 2007 Author Premium Member Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 That's an incredible technicality. Amare technically has four years left beginning July 1st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, he's been here 32 years, wouldn't he have only 3 years left if he signed a 5 year contract i'm confused Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
