THE TRADE DEADLINE - February 23rd at 3:00PM

[ViewsFromTheSquawk]

I've thought about it and honestly Washington and us should be talking heavily... the only thing preventing them from being told in the East is a scorer off the bench and if we sent them THJ or Baze they'd be set.... I mean maybe we could get Denver involved so we could snag Gallinari or Chandler in a 3 team deal and we could send Denver some picks in the process....

We would own Bird rights to Gallo so resigning him would not be the problem.  The Hawks going into luxury tax territory to do so is.  Is Ressler WILLING?

 

I do agree that trading for him then he leaves screws us from a capsace perspective if Baze isn't moved.

It's not about bird rights. It's about making use for a rental. If you can't resign Gallo, you must have money to replace him. Gallo is likely getting 20 million plus and right now, that is not possible to lose Gallo and get anything with our lack of cap space.

[Lurker]

I'd consider Gallo if an extension could be worked out, and Bazemore could be salary dumped, heck no matter what else is done at the deadline or in the summer, Bazemore needs to get salary dumped.

I could see why Al didn't resign. He would likely be traded this week for a player like George and we would be loaded right now. Say what you want but he made the best decision for his career now looking at it. Maybe he didn't like Dwight, who knows. 

 

I hope he realizes that at some point Boston will trade him before his contract expires.

And I hope he gets traded to the Kings.

Wait.  Why in the feck would we help WAS?  We can get Gallinari/Chandler without their help.  C'mon, Views.  You're better than that.

I hope most of them Selltics players realize how expendable Dan E. thinks they are.  Thomas being all pro-Green is laughable considering the Selltics, if they keep the Nets pick, will be selecting his replacement.  Only reason he's there is because he signed a cheap deal in SAC.  Once his deal is up he's gone.  They're not dumb enough to pay him.

To get rid of the Bazemore contract.... Plus we could get a draft pick or 2 in the process

My last line indicates the problem if Gallo leaves, we are on the same page.

Ok, I hear you.  But I'll counter with this.  WAS isn't taking either of them guys considering Otto Porter is about to come off his rookie deal and they'll have to pay him.

I like the idea of getting rid of that contract but maybe another team would fit better in that slot.  Maybe HOU since they offered him more this offseason?

They're keying in on a Beverly/Shumpert deal in case you haven't heard. Plus they did get a Lou yesterday

Was actually just looking at a trade to Hou that centered around Baze.  They could use his Defense and don't need any real offense out of him.  Would be a good fit, imo.  I think they are wanting to ship out short-term expiring contracts or so I've read.  Maybe Daniels, NeNe, and one other for Baze?

This is our best scenario?...wtf...

• The Rockets, after adding Lou Williams, remain “motivated” to acquire a player in the $10–12 million salary range, offering expiring contracts and cash in return. (Adrian Wojnarowski, The Vertical)

• Houston has expressed interest in trading for Cavaliers guard Iman Shumpert. (Marc Stein, ESPN)

• Among Houston’s expiring contracts are Nene and Tyler Ennis. The team also holds an option on K.J. McDaniels for next season.

So the Hawks get two MORE 2nd for this year.  Maybe they are going to package every damn one of them for PG? 

[Bankingitbig]

The thing that these novice writers from Bleacher Report don't understand is that we already have 2 2nd round picks this year (BKN and MIA's - MIA is protected 31-40 though). We don't need more 2nd round picks....

On top of that, it's not a buyer's move. We are looking to buy. 

[Bankingitbig]

The Vertical just posted an interview between Woj and Wes Wilcox, where Wilcox says exactly this. We have too many picks already and want to be buyers.
