Hawks "Aggressively" Shopping Teague

[Hart]

I am not willing to pay Lin and Asik a combined 28 million next season. Let Morey eat that.

Wait, I thought they were both expiring contracts this year?

I'm sure you're not willing. The question is would the ASG be willing? I highly doubt it.

No they count 8.3 million towards the cap each next year but both get 15 million in real dollars next year. This year and last they got 5 million each in real dollars but counted 8.3 million towards the cap.

Good god! What about trading for them both, and then using the amnesty on Lin and letting him go while keeping Asik next year?

You can't use the amnesty on guys that you'd trade for. The only player we can amnesty on our team present or future is Al Horford.

Well I am just making my self sound more and more uneducated when it comes to basketball and contracts, so i'll leave you guys alone to debate and I'll go back to lurking haha

@Hart - don't do that - sometimes you learn more by making mistakes. You are getting educated by asking these questions.

[Hart]

This is just one of those times of the year where you sort of want your team to make a move to be better, but you are on the fringe of potentially being a lottery team so you don't know if making any moves to get "better" would benefit you in the long run. Rock meet hard place

Gallinari has been in Denver ever since NY dealt him as part of the package for Carmelo.

His trade link probably didn't work since he was cleary using the way back machine at archive.org to make this trade lol

I am such a retard sometimes...Bargnani. Not Gallinari

well i guess he meant bargnani since they are both italian and play the same game it could be confusing

Eh they're all Euro ballers right??

The fact that Teague's name keeps coming up in these rumors makes me more and more convinced he's not going anywhere.

True. Ferry's trademark has been stealth, this has been anything but. I'm pretty sure he doesn't even use social media, nor would he reveal anything of substance to anyone who does. Edited February 20, 2014 by benhillboy

With Bargnani, I have trouble seeing Houston signing up to take his sorry rear. He could be a spread 4 for them but he just doesn't shoot that well and is such a liability in other areas of the game.

I am not so certain they would not do it.. They get a starting caliber pg in return and a big who can score..All that for 2 contracts they babdly want to ditch. I will go out on a limb and predict if they move Asik and Lin it will take a deal like this to do it. They sure as hell are not getting 1st rounders for them
