if we gutted the entire roster we can get both Melo and PG13.. Just shy by 300K which i think we make up for the 2 cash consideration trades today http://www.espn.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=ycg67xxm
Chris Paul James Harden Trevor Ariza Paul Milsap Clint Capela Bench Carmelo Anthony (contingent on buyout) Eric Gordon
If we aren't earmarking the MLE for Melo (in the event he is bought out), I would love to pursue James Johnson. One of the best lineups Miami ran last year was Johnson at the 5, and he often brought the ball up court and ran a 5-1 PnR with Dragic. The guy is putting it all together - great court vision, workable jump shot (both spot up and off the dribble), can defend multiple positions (look at his steal and block #s), light on his feet, very athletic too. His versatility would be utilized well on this team - he would be Diaw 2.0 in this offense.
Dunleavy just got released by the Hawks. Not sure if he has a lot left but would be worth a call for sure.
1) 3 team trade: ATL + HOU + ORL Atlanta: C Nikola Vucevic (ORL) + rights to Gentile & Todorovic + HOU expirings + 2020 2nd from HOU Houston S&T Paul Millsap (ATL) (3 year contract // avg $25-27M) + G/F Mario Hezonja (ORL) Orlando: F Ryan Anderson (HOU) + 2019 1st from ATL (top 10 protected) 2) Sign with MLE: C Dwayne Dedmon (SAS) 3) Sign with BAE: F Ersan Ilyasova (ATL) 4) Signed to vet FA deals: PG Darren Collison (SAC) + F/G Vince Carter (MEM) + Nene (HOU) + Troy Williams (HOU) 5) Trade rights to Sergio Lull to Chicago for G Jerian Grant Paul -- Collison -- Grant Harden -- Gordon -- Hezonja Ariza -- Carter -- Williams Millsap -- Ilyasova -- Zhou Qi Capela -- Dedmon -- Nene
Can we sign and trade for Gordon Hayward? Assuming he picks us of course . We definitely have Andersons contract , + the other non guarantees . Would Utah prefer that to nothing ? I don't know . Anderson does have a few years remaining and if Utah wants to rebuild its not ideal . That being said , he could pair nicely with Gobert . Here's a wild scenario , what is Hayward pulls a chris Paul and opts in ; setting up a bigger payday next year ? Then Andersons salary alone is enough to trade for him . Are our non guarantees enough if Hayward does that ?
In fantasy world where multiple players take large pay cuts to play with Rockets S&T for Reddick 4 years 52 million by trading our NG contracts, Onuaku and a couple of 2nd's. S&T for Milsap, 4 years 105 million by trading Anderson + future 1st to Hawks or 3rd team. Re-sign Nene with Bi Annual Exception. Then, Carmelo Anthony agree's to a buyout with the Knicks, signs with Rockets for 3 year full MLE PG: Chris Paul / Eric Gordon SG: James Harden / J.J. Reddick SF: Carmelo Anthony / Trevor Ariza PF: Paul Milsap C: Clint Capela / Nene + vet mins and rookies
PG) CP3 /...A.../ Isaiah Taylor SG) Harden /...B.../ SF) Ariza /...C.../...D... PF) Millsap /...E.../ Zhou Qi & Uthoff C) Capela / Nene / Chinanu A) L Galloway B) CJ Miles C) Dunleavy D) Thabo Sefolosha E) Ilyasova Trade: EGo/Ryno + non guaranteed contracts/rights to Bobby Brown & Huertas that can be renounced (approx $7.4M) for Millsap. Galloway/CJ Miles/Sefolosha/Ilyasova sign as free agents contracts......to win in D'Antoni system. Put up #'s.
Split MLE on signing Justin Holiday and Amir Johnson. Trade Ryan Anderson and Rockets 2020 1st with non guaranteed contracts in a 3 team deal for Milsap S&T 4 years / 140 million. PG: Chris Paul / Justin Holiday SG: James Harden / Eric Gordon SF: Trevor Ariza PF: Paul Milsap / Amir Johnson C : Clint Capela / Nenê + BAE, vet minimums and rookies.
Need to watch minnesota guys. They're after millsap now. They'll need additional cap space to sign him. Could be an opportunity to pick up aldrich and a first rounder for some of those ngs
http://www.espn.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=ycfna3hf We need to do this 3 way I live in NY and radio guys said only want expiring for melo All expiring for a tanking team Milwaukee in Ryno and Noah NY in Mirza and Monroe and NG's Hou in MELO Might need a 4th desperate team for Noah contract... But this is what I think is preliminary @Clutch
Anderson, NG'ed, 2 first for a S&T for Millsap with Anderson going to DET and Harris with the NG'ed going to ATL. Sign Cj Miles and James Johnson or Patterson or Randolph. Find a point guard not named MCW that can run a offense and shoot... maybe ty lawson or collison.... sign a backup center with what we have left (Dedmon, Bogut, Baynes, Nene). (If melo gets bought out, move either ariza or cj to open up space) Cp3/???? Harden/Gordon Ariza/Cj Miles Millsap/???? Capela/????
