@NBASupes. Philly needs to clear 2 roster spots, are we interested in any of their players for the minimum salary we have.

Yep, I can see that happening.

I wonder what kind of contract Teague is expecting.

Because he can still run an offense, he's worth at least 3-4 million even if he's washed on defense. Teams can't deal with backups who can't run a system. To the chagrin of some guys here, I can see Travis giving him a 2-3 year deal. Backup PG who run the offense are vital. Why do you think Rondo is still getting checks?

We don't have a vet min money available. Just rookie min money. We only have like 1.1-1.2 mil available.  NBA min is 1.6

Got. the answer I was looking for. No cap hit 2020/21 and 2.6 hit this year.  So yah, depending on the slotting for our 1st round pick, about $53 million in Free agency. Assume Jeff back at $6-8 million, Bembry back at 5ish, not sure on if Jones is back if we draft big. So sign 2 and 40 millionish after that.

 

Bobby Marks: Atlanta makes it official and has waived Nene. They will incur a $2.6M cap hit this season. His $2.7M salary for 2020/21 would have been guaranteed if he was not waived by Feb. 15.

Like others, I'm cautiously optimistic that Goodwin could turn into a regular member of the rotation.  His defense and rebounding just give him such a nice floor.  Any real progress on his ability to run the offense and/or shooting could easily vault him past Teague or other potential back-ups.

You know me. I want to see the eyes up aspect of his game. He's got a good mentor in Trae for this though. No need to play downhill 24x7. Get the defender on your hip for the easy foul. Drive to set up your teammates, not yourself. I firmly believe that last part is why Trae scores so much. Opposing bigs are so scared of the lob to a big, Trae gets the easy floater 5 times a game. His eyes up/pace get him those opportunities.

Chances of him ever being able to run an offense in his career is slim to none tho

Wasn’t Walton in summer league with the Hawks two years ago, or was that another Michigan guard?

Not a needle mover.  Bet is still on, @AHF.

I didn’t really understand any of that but you are welcome

Why another point guard exactly? Replacing Goodwin's old G-league spot maybe?

The Hawks are apparently not going to hold on to him.  Why trade cash for a guy you are going to cut?

The Hawks are not planning to hold on to Derrick Walton Jr., per source.
