No need to offer Baze such a big deal when no other team can and will.  He's in the $6 mill territory if that much.  We can fill in the roster with lower priced option and keep our capspace for the trade deadline and/or roll it over to next season.

 

WOAH WOAH WOAH WOAH!!!! I didn't say Baze.... I said somebody LIKE Baze.....

But on the real - don't we need to sign more to bring it up to the minimum? Or can we just sit as we are and roll with it?

Bogi could want to be in Atlanta but if Sacremento can find a SnT team, they will do that. Otherwise they will just threaten us with matching

But if they match it then he cant be moved for six month correct?  That would be crazy but these are Kangz we are talking about, they would pull something like that.  I dont its smart for Pacers too for trading Turner too but that them.

They would match? They were just about to trade him, and they cant get out from under Buddy's contract, just gave Fox the max. Just drafted Hali with BB's departure in mind. Give them Bruno and the OKC 1st.

LOL.

I think most of the guys who you should offer a big 1 year deal are more or less off the market now. 

We can keep it to start the season, and use it by the season's end.

I think so and he can't be traded to the Hawks either since we tendered the offer

Based on what my guy said before FA, he said they will but the Hawks feel confident so I rather believe them but the actions I see say my guy was right the entire time.

If Sacramento wasn't going to match. He would be in Atlanta right now. 

Sacremento wants what they want. This is starting to be a waste of time. Sign Torrey Craig and call it a day

Then Bagley's deal is due next year.  That kills our big man depth. don't want that to be an issue this year again.

Do you know if the Hawks made an official offer?

Ultimately, this is all about the agent trying to maximize the amount he can get. In this SnT he could get a lot more.

So we probably aren't getting him. Damn, would have been nice.

Is this from your source or a guess on your part?

Also, looks like he could sign the offer sheet yesterday (November 21, 2020)

Nov. 21

• Free-agency moratorium ends, negotiations can begin (12:01 a.m. ET)

• First-round selections can sign contracts

• Minimum contracts (2 less years) can sign

• Restricted free agent can sign an offer sheet

• Third- and fourth-year rookie options can be exercised

Like Supes said - Torrey Craig still out there. Forgot about him. We should go ahead and snag him on a 1 year deal and just preserve our cap for next summer. Or Fall/Winter...

I'm going to be real upset with Hawks twitter if Bogi goes to Indiana.  They've been throwing hints all damn day.

Craig is actually a RFA.

Denver withdrew their qualifying offer, making Craig unretricted.

2 more things that made me smile inside. 

1. Dwhine Howard thinking the Lakers were taking him back, tweeting about it, being wrong, having to delete the tweet, then sig ing with PHI for the minimum. 

3. TOR losing the admittedly aging Obama but hanging onto Mr. 41%. cRaptors'll still be solid but they're on the decline.  Screw em, it's out turn ( my 2021 motto)

I believe this is the first time Kirschner has gotten to report about the Hawks making winning moves. Maybe he's just overexcited. 

[marco102]

Really good scouting artlicle on Bogi.  I know we may not get him, but it's fair and worth the read about why the Bucks attempted to trade for him.

Quote

The biggest hypothetical surrounding how high Bogdanovic’s ceiling can go is over the playmaking. The majority of his assists in Sacramento were easy reads. With a more well-oiled offense with other players who possess gravity, will Bogdanovic’s playmaking reads become faster, and will he further leverage his mid-range ability to create easy looks for his team-mates. If this comes true, his ceiling is legitimate as a third-best player on a championship team, even with a lack of speed and burst. He will never be a fast player, but if his reads become quicker and more on the fly with the ball in his hands, the ceiling goes up. It will be intriguing to see how he looks with better team-mates. Regardless, he is an upgrade on the players he is replacing and he gives the Bucks an extra element of scoring as they aim to get Giannis over the finish line in the Playoffs.

Soth had an explanation something along the lines of you can be excited if you go to McD and they are offering a McRib but if the McRib isn’t on the menu then it isn’t that big a deal.  Shrug your shoulders and order your Big Mac and move on.

Yes, this. It was one of the best nicknames ever given to a professional athlete. Not to humble brag or anything.

We will be fine without the McRib. Sure, it would be nice to have one but 4 year/120 million for one McRib? We're good fam.

Besides Torrey Craig, Wilson Chandler and Furkan Korkmaz are also available. Jordan McRae and Bryn Forbes as well. Is really slim.
