2020 Hawks Trade rumors

[sturt]

Spud, if my math is correct, HOU would have to put out 24m in order to receive a 32m contract.

The third-team alternative would have Hayward going to that third team, and the Rockets getting someone from the third team whose salary is within +$5m of Capela's.

But for Houston alone, they can't take on 32M and only ship out 14M.  They still have to match salaries (with the usual wiggle room around how to do that).  A third team doesn't change the minimum amount of salary that Houston would have to ship out to take on $32M more.  Where a third team makes it easier is by allowing a team over the cap to shed salary - not add more.

Oh good point that’s right my bad.

Ya my mistake. Ya Celts can’t do that they don’t have anyone that makes enough salary. I had a brain fart there thinking the 3rd team could provide the missing salary and get assets in return for their trouble. Ya that doesn’t work.

It's okay. At first, I was imagining a scenario where Morey goes out and gets Drummond in a Capela deal, but for the same reasons, that's not very likely.

I think Nene is making $10 million so Houston would have to find a team to take his salary.  But IIRC his deal is kinda screwy (Houston tried to circumvent the cap)  so it can only count $2.5 mil against the cap. So Houston doesn't have the salary to send out.

This is one that I mentioned a couple months ago on the trade section.

The Hawks would prefer a cheaper alternative—such as Capela, or Cavaliers center Tristan Thompson, according to sources—and invest any savings in another ball handler who complements Young.

I wonder what the asking price is for Tristian? He could be one of those out of no where trades Schlenk makes. Everyone is focused on Adams and Capela, Travis says bump y'all, welcome to the Hawks Mr. Tristian Thompson!

It would probably cost a salary filler plus a second round pick, but Cavs might be asking for slightly more even though Tristan will be a FA this summer.

I like the fit.

I do too. Tristian is a bruiser and he has his teammates back.

Basically Drummn'd but at like a third the cost plus has actually won ... well, he's seen winning from beside those actually contributing to wins so ... that counts.

He's an expiring, so I wouldn't offer much. Would probably take a high 2nd or 2 lower 2nds. Unfortunately Hawks don't have their 2020 or 2021 2nds.

Makes our recent selling of picks all the harder to digest for me.  I hate selling picks.  At least flip them for future ones.

Spurs are working on trading DeMarre Carroll. Could he be the Rockets Plan B wing? If so, can we still help them out cap wise and take Capela off their hands?

I don’t like the addition of a Tristan Thompson and all his Kardahian drama but I will get over it .

capela is much better however. 

[Spud2nique]

We need to run a poll.

Who squawk likes better.

A. Adams

B. Capela

C. Drummond

D. Stand pat (minor deal maybe)

I know it depends on the assets we give up but in the end if we get each on a good trade, who is the best fit here. I usually have a pretty decisive opinion but a bit torn here myself.

30.1 million 

[thecampster]

Or send out 25.52 mil to receive 32

125% of the lower, not high number + 100,000

Agree, its B. Capela's fit, contract, and production is the most attractive trade. A with Adams is 2nd because even though the contract is more of a hit, it is only for one season. I have been put off on Drummond's contract expectations and prefer chasing Montrezl Harrell or Tristan Thompson in free agency instead.
