http://www.draftexpress.com/article/NBA-Draft-Prospect-of-the-Week-Giannis-Adetokunbo-4090/ interesting player, maybe for the charlotte pick
@SexyWatt A lot of possibilities. They may trade their 1st round pick for our 31st pick to avoid paying more tax. They may dump young player salary to us. etc
Next draft, offseason and trade deadline will be interesting. We will have around $ 3M unguaranteed salary, $ 2.3 M trade exception, 31st draft pick, TOR pick, our own draft pick. Boston, Chicago, Toronto, Golden State may be in lux tax territory.
Oklahoma City Thunder – The Thunder added a very good perimeter defender in Ronnie Brewer and only had to give up a future second-round pick for him. The Knicks had been shopping Brewer, and the Thunder pounced on the opportunity to add the 27-year-old. The Thunder approached Brewer over the offseason when he was a free agent, but he ultimately decided to sign with the Knicks. Now, he’ll be a rotation player in Oklahoma City. With Brewer and Thabo Sefolosha, the Thunder now have two very good defensive swingmen that they can throw at teams such as, say, the Miami HEAT. Oklahoma City is determined to win now and they added a veteran contributor while only having to give up a late second-round pick.Read more at http://www.hoopsworld.com/nba-pm-the-boring-2013-trade-deadline/#DKD1dSRmbR2s4qDt.99
So how did we absorb Brewer contract? Do we use the trade exception from Maynor trade?
hakim warick anyone?
I suggested Maynor + our 1st rnd pick for Marcus Morris in December.
ESPN.com reported New York’s interest in Jermaine O’Neal and Toronto’s interest in Sebastian Telfair while another source said there was All-Star break talk of Oklahoma City exploring Marcin Gortat and P.J. Tucker for Kendrick Perkins, Jeremy Lamb and a first-round pick. Perkins is the type of center to fit the new defensively geared culture, although he is limited offensively for a team wanting to post up its big men. Lamb probably would have been the Suns’ draft pick in June had Houston not made a trade to move up two spots and take him in front of Phoenix. The Suns do have $6.4 million of cap room to take on salary in a deal, but it is more likely that the Suns stand pat to protect their two first-round draft picks and salary-cap space, which leaves room to sign a maximum-level free agent.
