IDK- That Batum albatross would be Salary Cap killer for 2019-20 & 20-21 ! You know he would opt in.
I think the Pels are satisfied with Peyton & Jackson at PG. Id rather give a protected 1, Hill & Moore to LAC for Tobias Harris and a filler. I know hes a PO in 2019, but I'd take the chance.

I don't think you understand how trade mechanics work, either. You can't add trade exceptions to players anyway. Basically, you would have to get to around 31 mil in outgoing salary. Doable with Okafor and Liggins in the deal. And the Pels would still be below the tax. It is possible if Dell wants to lock himself into that team and if Gayle is willing to pay the tax next year to bring Walker and either Mirotic or Randle back
@mcnamara247
So what deal works without including Mirotic, and do you think we should take on the Batum contract if we get Walker for only a guaranteed 1 year?
Would the deal of Batum and Walker for Hill, Moore, Ajinca, Okafor, Liggins, Jackson, and a top 3 protected 2019 1st rounder work? Obviously Charlotte would cut Liggins and Okafor then buyout Ajinca.
This lineup does look nice on paper, but the Batum contract is scary with Walker, Randle, and Mirotic all on 1 year deals.
PG: Walker/Payton/Carr
SG: Holiday/(Clark)
SF: Batum/Miller
PF: Randle/Mirotic
C: Davis/Diallo

We HAVE a SIGHTING! He & his doppelganger are both here. WOW!
I imagine our 1st round pick next year just took a considerable bump in value in the minds of other teams now.
Not sure if this is even a playoff team next year.
Warriors
Rockets
Thunder
Lakers
Blazers
Jazz
T'Wolves
Nuggets
Are all teams top to bottom I think roster wise is better than us without Boogie and Rondo.
I guess maybe we shouldn't even suit up a team this season and just sit it out. Come on now seriously, no one knows how the season will
play out with injuries, chemistry and all. Warriors should have probably never won their series against the Rockets had Paul not been injured so
who knows what happens this season with them. We lost two players, one was even part of our playoff run. We added two talented players and
still may add more.
Who are some veteran minimum guys who could contribute as backups?
I like Ian Clark, Devin Harris, and Raymond Felton as backup options.
I wouldn't want Batum's contract for a potential one year rental of Walker. Change out Batum for MKG and it would be much more palatable. Obviously do not see Charlotte doing that though for what we have to offer.
This may be the first year Mac didn't suggest going after Lin.
Welcome back Mac
We need a hood and walker signings to get the hype back. Going to take too much I'm afraid.
BI, Zion, and CJ had a net rating of +3 when on the court together. BI and Zion had a +13.4, BI and CJ had a +13.2, Zion and CJ was just +5.4.
BI and Zion worked. BI and CJ worked. It was CJ and Zion and all three together that didn't work.
So, we LITERALLY lost Rondo & gained Randle, along with Payton & Frank Jackson! Im not getting the Doom & Gloom. Boogie played ZERO part in the 10 game win streak & 9 game win streak. So, who on your list, other than Lakers (who BTW, still arent better than us) has IMPROVED their roster? NOBODY.
You know how alot of posters on here was saying for the last 2 years that Houston won't make the playoffs because they don't play defense and just score?...well the team gentry has now can score in high numbers...we just need Payton to run the offense and set players up to get easy points like rondo did.....we can be the Houston of this season and make the playoffs with high scoring plus we play some defense......gentry will run his small ball until the wheels fall off lol.....
Wouldn't surprise me, heck i don't even care if it's even a SF anymore, get Kemba walker and start Jrue at the 3 and just run teams out the gym, I just want 5 good players on the court for once.
Kemba
Payton
Jrue
AD
Randle
just run the entire time and never call time outs lol.
I think Tobias Harris or Kawhi Leonard are the only players that will upgrade us significantly in trade and whose teams are willing to take back a Mirotic/Moore package from us in return.
The only way the Lakers could get Leonard by trade is if Deng’s contract is included but the Spurs don’t want it. That takes LA out. Boston refuse to give up Jaylen Brown and Tatum. Sixers not giving up Fultz. Pelicans becomes the best landing spot if the Spurs are willing to trade within the division
