Free Agency 2019

[AHF]

Bear in mind that a lot of big contracts are purely there for potential trade purposes and will play little if any.  If we have two guys we don't intend to play, maybe we can send someone like Chandler out for "rehab" through the trade deadline so we preserve our trade flexiblity and then just cut him if we don't.  Benefit from that is to have someone we actually want on the roster rather than two guys we don't.

If Houston is offering Capela, would you do Brooklin first fron Prince trade for Capela? Is he a so bad fit with Collins? Hebis a young center with good numbers and can defend.

How's about the 'Zards bending over and taking LAL's scraps so they can create a max spot?  Them not having a GM is gross negligence.

.... glad it ain't us.  I'd be pissed if I were a 'Zard fan.  Hey, at least y'all get to pay John Wall $40 millions next coupla years.  Not total.  Per year, bros.

I think that the best FA outh there for us is Christian Wood unless we want to throw a good amount of money in Dedmon's pockets, who is certainly a better player.

Wagner, Bonga and Jemerrio Jones traded to Washington. I am glad they are not coming here, I saw little upside there

After our draft a lot of positions of need are starting to feel like water under the bridge. Hoping for a very quick recovery for Cam.

I think the main needs are Center and a reliable backup PG

6 weeks..aka maybe he’s ready for preseason? But hopefully definitely ready late October for the start of the regular season. Not ideal to miss training camp but better to heal his body for the long season ahead.

More proof the league is helping its big market team out.  Trade makes no sense for the Wizards.  My guess is Washington gets the first pick next draft as a “thank you” from the league office.

How does the trade make no sense for Washington?  They pick up 3 players several of whom people on this site have been wanting and a future pick for $5M.  

I'm sure LA was shopping those 3 to every team with cap room and was just upping the offers until one team said, "yes."

Still think it is more than I would pay for Barnes.  I'm not a big fan.  He feels a bit like a Jeff Green or Thaddeus Young to me.  Just not much W/L impact.

*whew*

I woke up in a cold sweat thinking we might sign this guy based on his former-Warrior-ness.

Thanks, Vlade.

Interesting that it's the end of the work day in Atlanta, and for whatever reason, no confirmation either way about Justin Anderson's status yet. Thought this was a foregone conclusion (ie, that he's gone), and something would have already been announced. (Of course, as I post this, you can almost count on something becoming public knowledge a few minutes later.)

Orlando needed a PG. They have a plethora of bigs already and drafted another.

Unlike Schlenk, some GM's don't know how to trade down to get future picks! lol!

This seems a little low to me. I think he can get 140 million if he goes elsewhere.
