And there's always the leverage.of OKC. A low enough price and they'll get more interested.

John with OKC may push them out their tank. I think they want one more year to get a top tier talent in the draft.

I kinda get the impression they want two more years, so I agree. But with them below the cap, he wouldn't be BYC'd, I think, so they could flip him by February?

Maybe other teams heard the same thing we fans did, and expect the Hawks to match any JC offer, and therefore re-prioritized signing players that wouldn't tie up their spending money for the 72 hour waiting period associated with him signing an offer sheet.

Everybody knows day 1 of free agency is an arms race. Folks are going to scoop up the best attainable assets first.

OKC only got 22 mil and no roster spots.

(It became 48 back a couple (?) of years ago... fwiw, not much.)

This news surely just made @sturt a little sad. 

 

More good news for the Hawks with the Spurs continuing to eat into their cap space.

Spurs got like $24 million+ in capspace. That's our range for Collins.

I had thought Len made some sense as the temp backup because he had played with Trae, but not for two years...

But all we need is the rumored DeRozan SnT for Markkanen to go through, and they are done as far as affording JC.

They technically have no $ because they're operating over the cap.

Yep, wait 'em out. Once JC's leverage is gone, we can come to terms quickly.

4/90 descending contract for JC is a win/win for all parties.

Felt like 72 with Bogi last year, I think cause we had to wait over the weekend until the next business day lol

Good to see you paid attention.   But nah, once the OO surgery came to light, I was looking for an upgrade.

The good news is that he went for $3.5 aav, and I was thinking $3.0.

[marco102]

 

STILL some better center options out there.

[Marvin24Williams]

Solo returns. Wanted him back, so happy about this

[terrell]

Solo!!
