Mirotic Trade coming?

[DroopyDawg]

Wait, how is this on Demps or Benson? The deal hinges on Mirotic.

Its just more convenient to blame our front office. Global warming is their fault too.

[wnelson]

the only way this gets done is if we buy out ajinca so we can resign mirotic next season

Well, as I mentioned when the Pels played the Bulls, I think this was the right move to attempt, whether a week ago or today. Stabilizes the Pels to slip into the playoffs now with the Clips blowing it up, and operates as a good 3rd big next year. Assuming Mirotic isn't being a twit of course. There's a little bit of ego writing checks there.

But bad organizations start at the top. If you have a crap owner who does not know the game and treats the team like second class citizens to other teams he owns...well, it's pathetic. I saw it for years with the Maloofs, you had to endure it with the whole Tyson Chandler saga. Owners can lose games, so can GMs (this one is not on Demps though, it is/was the right move to try), just as well as coaches and players.

P.S. And you can tell your decrepit owner that the idea of trading for Mirotic and NOT picking up his $12.5mil extension, which is a bargain deal in today's NBA btw, is just ludicrous.

Ok please tell me where you are getting this has to do with the owner?! Because there is a hold up in a deal all the sudden means whoever you feel like blaming should take it? I'm guessing last year when we couldn't get Okafor you were blaming the owner as well for treating his team like 2nd class citizens lol. To then see Boogie coming instead. Seriously where do y'all get this stuff from? What is ludicrous is coming to conclusions like this when having absolutely nothing to back it up.

Well technically he was not around for the Okafor situation he became a Pels fan when we got Boogie.

[Butters]

Can't this trade be revisited with the addition of other players to make absorbing the 12.5 million easier?

I mean could other players be added to the trade to take salary off the Pels books?

I never hit refresh so many times!

[DaFranchise80]

I’m mentally preparing myself for this deal to fall through. We can’t have nice things. Hoping for some good news soon.

[England_Hornet]

I too am a victim of the disappointing refresh.

Just imagine getting someone who’s actually pretty good... for Asik!

That just makes to much sense. We much rather trade away potential talent (1st round pick) with Asik for a lesser talented player than pick up talent for Asik and stretch/buyouts Ajinca in order to sign Boogie. Because Boogie never said he wanted to play on a playoff team.

i meant boogie and mirotic signed.

[wnelson]

i swear rotoworld is getting ~30 refreshes every 5 min

[lsutigers33]

i think we will make it work. let them take Asik and AA, first rounder and second following year.

then we just need to figure out how to make them money work with Boogie and Miratoc.

Asik and AA -16.5M
Mirotoc + 12.5
Boogie +18 now
boog extention +8

we would just have to move 4-5m or be slightly over cap. Wouldn't this work? Gives us one more year to see if we can do something.

solo is the odd man out in this arrangement and i am ok with that

hahahahah this!!!

[UptownFuz504]

Allen would be my choice. He's already injured. The Bulls can use that as an excuse to let the young players play more too.

Bingo

[UNO Gracias]

Benson should've bought the implant for Demps that allows brain control.

So it's both of their faults. Benson for not getting the the implant. And Demps for not already having psychic powers.

Look, I am the first to jump on Demps for the smallest things, and I want this trade to go through, but knowing that we need cap space for Boogie, and Mirotic's $12.5 demand might hamper us resigning Boogie, I get why we wouldn't do the deal.

[Mythrol]

No. It's absolutely the stupidest thing I've ever heard if the reason is fear of the luxury tax and If this deal falls through AD should immediately demand to be traded.

That is a huge freaking sign this franchise isn't ready to pay the money to compete.

Mirotic can backup AD or Cousins and is on a deal that can be traded at any time. We were ALWAYS going to be in the luxury tax resigning Cousins this summer.

This is absolutely retarded. We cannot have 105m in 5 players and the rest just minimum contracts and expect to compete.

I don't think I've ever been more furious with this franchise. Why even trade for Cousins at all if we were afraid of the tax? This deal better get done.
