Win for us if it goes through. Just wonder how the pick protection will look like

Denver needs to shed off 3.5 so Hawks may take on Will Barton

[DBac]

I love the Diamond Stone addition. He has a little shooting touch and is very athletic. Only 20 years old too.

Which is fine, because Will Barton is a quality player.

Doubt Schlenk would do it if they added anything on to the top 3 Houston protection

[KB21]

Top 3 protection only comes into play if Harden and Paul both get hurt and miss a significant amount of time for Houston.

[DBac]

Will the Thrill is fun but Darrell Arthur would be a nice mentor for John Collins and our front court depth is lacking.

I'll take Diamond and a pick 

[GABALLA]

Will Barton, Diamond Stone and a 1st?? plus trade of Crawford??

 

yes plz

[willthepureshooter]

Diamond's garbage. The kid plays with a nonchalant attitude. Check his 1 on 1 practice with Chris Paul.

Flip him for a 2nd round pick

[hazer]

That we're getting anything for Sap is good work by The Colonel.

Even though he's old I believe the right team will give us a late first for him

Schlenk you beautiful bald bastard! I knew you had it in you!

If only Cleveland had picks to give and money to spend.

I read that Crawford doesn't want any part of Atlanta, so I say we flip him to Toronto for JYD and a first. We could come out of this with 2 firsts. 

That's some fine GM work to lose a guy who was leaving anyway and turn him into 2 first round picks and a 20 year old player. Shoot, what the Hawks have now is already some fine work by Schlenk. 

[capstone21]

Yes, if Barton is also included then this was a coup.

happy to get a pick and a guy for our development.  JC doesn't make sense here so hopefully a team with need of bench scoring will want him.  However, I predict he is bought out as most teams will not want to take on that salary

Disagree.

First, the alternative is to have that cap space and to be able to use it on one or more players of our choosing rather than players with contracts that we have to accept. This is what has been so mindless to me... people (not necessarily you, hazer) seemingly have wanted any player and his contract to come back to us just so it could be said "we got something in return for Sap." Rather, the truth is, we would have gotten something in return for Sap... it  just would come from the FA market.

Dang, I wish people would more universally get that. And, that cap space itself is a commodity. And, that when you lose a player like Sap, you automatically gain more of that commodity. And, that, in itself, goes to the positive side of the spreadsheet.

Second, on closer look, we aren't actually getting anything for Sap. It's more accurately and precisely that we're "getting something" for someone--LAC--to rent some cap space from us... and they get Gallo, of course. Cap space, that is, that we wouldn't be willing to rent if we weren't giving up Sap to DEN. So, it's a misnomer really to characterize this as "getting something out of Sap." We're getting something out of cap room that we have as a consequence of Sap leaving us, which he would be doing regardless.

I'm confused. Are people taking this dream as a potential reality, or am I being punked? First, that Crawford would be worth a 1st to anyone at all, and second that even if he somehow were, LAC wouldn't have already made that deal for themselves(?).

Toronto needs bench scoring. They want to get rid of DMC (JYD). They are in win now mode. Clippers wouldn't be able to take on Carroll's salary. What's to be confused about?
