I would do that to keep Rivers though with how prices are in FA

Cleveland is clearing enough salary to S/T for.....
CARMELO!!!
come back mac daddy we need you for a moment of clarity
That is how it is gonna be done. Renounce Bird Rights to everyone but Ely and Babbitt. Take in other non-guaranteed contracts into cap space. Trade them all for Asik. All we have left is Room Exception, but so what? We kept all the good pieces and got Asik
If we are going to lose our MLE over Rivers I'd almost rather keep Gee.....
I guess I just don't value Rivers that much.
Lol I like Gee, on 2K he did me justice... He was my wild card... Pause
You could IF you traded Rivers to get Gee and Hobson. Otherwise, how would you get them? It's either Rivers or Hobson. Which is why I said:
Rivers and Room Exception
OR
No Rivers, MLE, BAE
Room and BAE basically cancel each other out. So, Rivers or MLE?
With the market and the guys left, I take Rivers, get a stop gap and wait to next year
It appears you are correct.
ESPN sources say Cavs have other means to acquire Brendan Haywood from Charlotte as planned and thus also send Alonzo Gee to New Orleans

ESPN sources also say that Alonzo Gee potentially could wind up being plugged into New Orleans' looming acquisition of Rockets' Omer Asik

But you can probably keep Rivers, and still sign Garcia or CDR. Neither of those guys is worth MLE.
But I think you probably just make this a 3 way trade with Rockets and Cavs, and keep all exemptions and Rivers. Don't see how this is an either/or situation.
