Woah! This is interesting!!!

 

 

No reason not to do this...for the players.  If the owners agree to do this without a comprehensive agreement on the cap then that is just giving away leverage.

A max for these guys is 25% of the cap. Wouldn't they just tie it specifically to whatever the cap # is when the season concludes. So if the cap is $109 they get $27 mil, if its $98 they get $24.5?

They are talking about doing it before the new cap goes into place so they can take advantage of the current rate before the caps falls. That would result in higher pay for the individual players and less money available under the cap or tax lines for the teams signing them to these contracts.  Otherwise, it would do nothing and no one would be asking for it.

I'm looking for actual details of the 'proposal', i think it's less about the cap, more injury related.

Tatum, Adebayo, Mitchell have been looking into insurance for the restart in case they get injured during the restart. I'm guessing in lieu of this insurance the proposal is for extentions. It's just not clear on what cap figure.

That makes some sense but seems strange to limit this to these guys.  That same issue is there for all free agents, whether they are getting a max, a MLE or anything else.

I personally don't care about other team's players but as far as John Collins is concerned, its a no brainer to wait until the new cap numbers are in.

Anybody got any ideas on trade targets for us?  I think that could be another good offseason discussion for the longest offseason in the history of forever.

I can post a lot of horrible ones, this being the latest:

The Trade: Clint Capela for Terry Rozier and a second-round pick

Capela hasn't had a chance to play a single game for the Atlanta Hawks, and this deal would obviously prevent him from ever doing so. But feel free to scan Atlanta's 2020-21 cap sheet and try to find movable contracts.

Dewayne Dedmon is probably the next-most-likely trade chip, but he's set to make $13.3 million next season and would be a backup 5 wherever he went. Plus, the market for centers remains saturated. In today's game, it isn't easy to find homes for these guys, even one like Dedmon who can shoot and protect the rim a little.

So, the idea here is to move Capela and transition John Collins to a full-time 5. That would allow the Hawks to play more of a spread offense in which Collins can be the screener in pick-and-roll sets or space the floor. 

The main reason for getting Capela is so JC doesn't have to play the 5 since he's a 4. Sigh.

These guys have no clue about the Hawks, just throwing shite against the wall.

Here's another from a GSW fan. @NBASupes and @Spud2nique will love this .

 

GSW  2020 #1 pick(assuming they get #1) for Reddish and #5 pick.

Why don’t we throw in John Collins to make it fair?

Seriously.  With what we've seen from Reddish and this year's crop of players, I wouldn't deal Reddish for the #1 pick period.  The extra enhancements would have to come from GS.

You can't ban me. .

I haven't seen any trades that makes sense for us.

I couldn't react to this post because there wasn't an appropriate one.
