If Lebron goes back to CLE does that mean Deng is out of running for Hawks?

[HawkItus]

If Deng was looking to go to Miami why wouldn't he go back to CLE if Lebron goes home?  Also, that might open the door for a Bennett trade,   Would we want him?    Can CLE sign and trade Deng to us for Salmons and some fodder?    

[GameTime]

PG-Kyrie, SG-Wiggins, SF-LeBron

 

Where does Deng fit?

Where does Deng fit?

PG: Unc Drew

SG: Wiggins

SF: Deng

PF: Lebron

 

In the smaller east he could def play against SAP Young J Smith types.

What in the world would we do with Anthony Bennett? Design a diet for him?

If LeBron goes I'm sure they trade for Love.

They can go over the cap to sign Deng correct? Not sure they would.

But

Kyrie

Deng

Lebron

Love

Varejao?

Is unstoppable

Varejao?

They cannot go over the cap to re-sign him AND use cap space to sign LeBron

Lol but seriously though. Imagine if Cleveland would've drafted Nerlens Noel (with knowing that he'd sit out his rookie year of course) that year and say if LeBron does go back.

 

Their lineup would be:

 

PG: Irving

SG: Wiggins

SF: LeBron

PF: Somebody

C: Noel

 

That'd be pretty darn good but instead they have Anthony Bennett lol.

Lakers, Bulls, Mavs (if Rockets match Parsons. If not Rockets would be a team after a SF), even Heat (without Lebron) will be after Deng if Lebron goes to the Cavs. We won't be the only team interested. Lakers need to make a squad, Mavs are trying to find a SF, Heat would need to replace Bron, and Bulls are most likely out of the Melo running.

 

Deng, Ariza, and Lance are going to be highly sought after when James and Melo signs.

Because Cleveland couldn't give him anymore than the Room MLE if that happened. That is why.

Noel is too Small to rebound in the grown folks league!

Want to be whether he outrebounds Bennett or not?  He will need some more meat before he is mature but he is going to be a good pick for Philly in the long-run.  A year behind Andy sounds about right to me for that hypothetical Cleveland team.

[PSSSHHHRRR87]

I see the dismantling of Miami to make us more attractive to free agents.  Come and play in a division that is up for grabs and not be always look to be second best.

He goes back to Cleveland when hell freezes over.

It must be pretty damn cold down there!

Thanks, what about a sign and trade? Can they do that?

No. You can only sign and trade away your free agents. Deng can only leave Cleveland in a sign and trade.

[Plainview1981]

Can they even sign Deng if they release Salmons?

[Guest]

Can they even sign Deng if they release Salmons?

Of course, whether or not Deng accepts the offer is a different story.

[RWF]

Ferry has 4 hours to do something with Salmons. No confirmation on waiving him.
