Might the Cavs be willing to take Austin Rivers?
They can't just give us Alonzo Gee. But if they're about to trade Wiggins/Waiters for Love... they might have a need for Rivers.
There's always the hope that we involve one of our FAs in a S&T.
Send Gee to Houston and Aminu/Smith/Roberts+Cash to a third team.
Maybe one of those guys has a deal on the table, but we came up $1M short, so Dell pulled an Ely/Babbitt for Gee trade to get an extra million unguaranteed to seal the deal.
Just me speculating, but I think Dell will find a way to keep Rivers and the core 5 (AD, EG10, Reke, Jrue and Ryno).
The question is... how the h3ll do we fit a small forward or 3 into the mix with our current cap situation?
Frenchy, Babbitt and Gee are possibly gone along with Ely (who's definitely gone). I don't know how, but I'm sure Dell will make it work. I can also see us keeping 1 of the SFs that are on our Summer League team. Remember Sutherland was on the team at the end of the year and got some minutes. I can see him making it as depth. Darius Miller is still available and he showed SOME promise at the end of the year when given heavy minutes.
I don't know who will emerge as our 3, but I'm hoping with the players I mentioned above, Dell can somehow swing a deal for a starting SF that's not too expensive. Gerald Green maybe... since Phoenix is going after Deng and has re-signed Tucker.
SHould be an interesting weekend. MM said we will know more on Monday, so that's what I'm waiting for now.
So we keep our exceptions and Rivers? Dell Demps, you da real MVP.
"I'm not going to allow my putative owner to answer that question, this is an NBA related press conference. Paul Tagliabue and Roger Goodell have collectively sung their praises of Tom and if uh ESPN has a problem with that tell Mr. Skipper to call me at my office."
Here's my hope:
NOP out:
Ely
Babbitt
Roberts (S&T)
Protected 1st
Cash
NOP in:
Asik
---
HOU out:
Asik
HOU in:
NOP protected 1st
Gee (waived)
---
CLE out:
Gee
CLE in:
Pelicans cash
Ely (waived)
Babbitt (waived)
---
Fourth team out:
Nothing
Fourth team in:
Roberts (around $2.5M)
Cash
---
We keep Rivers, MLE, BAE, and Bird rights to Smith and Aminu.
How can a team not trade anything and still get something??
That fourth tema must send something for it to work
Still have to send it, be it a part of the exeption or whatever it is
if they only have cap room, then it's not a trade, it's a signing
still gotta send something. as it is put there, it's misleading, one might believe a team don't have to send anything in a sign and trade or even a regular trade
