Low cost high upside move

How is it high upside?

He returns end of season or start of next season and produces all star level value?

I think that is beyond upside.
I guess if some team could talk him into a minimum then sure maybe worth a flyer.
I think expectations that he gives you something close to all star level at age 36 isn’t .
But sure if it’s a minimum deal for 2 years the why not.

Still think Kleber/Vincent/Knecht for Claxton should happen. Then the Lakers push for Horford as well. But LA won't because that's future money.

Not sure how you get Luka, still have Lebron, and want to wait 2 years to try and put the team together. Weird. Luka showed just a year ago he doesn't need that much.

Pelinka fumbling gifts isn't atypical

If Miami can cheaply dump Terry, or most of Terry, I think you can give Dame most the MLE 2yr and sit on him.

I hadn't seen this. What are you guys paying him?

Most your team would offer for a Jose Alvarado and Jordan Hawkins package?

Nothing more than innuendo at this point, I could just be impatient :lol:

But it doesn't seem like there's much of a market out there and I'm getting more and more worried

Miami is still there for him. Brooklyn may decide to try and add one real piece this off-season. Plus we've seen some teams get really creative. I wouldn't give up at all on him finding a new team.

Brooklyn giving him 2yr36-40 hoping he’s worth 36-40 in 18 months when they don’t own their pick?

Sort of meh. But seems his best chance to get paid..

So LA is almost 13 million under the first apron, right?

What about:

Kleber, Vincent, Shake Milton, 2030 swap, 2031 1st for John Collins, Walker Kessler

Could also incorporate 26, 28, or 32 swaps instead.

Are we adding unprotected future picks?

Cause if not, I’m not seeing the allure for the Nets.

My other bad idea for the night is Jalen Johnson, Okongwu for Siakam, Isaiah Jackson

So... early winners/losers?

No. Claxton is probably not worth his contract. So the value is getting off the future years and a low level prospect.

But good to see fan prices in Brooklyn are still set triple retail even after the stuff that sells goes for far less.

Would rather Ayton over Claxton based on salary.

Denver and Atlanta winners.

No outright losers cause I didn’t see any signings that will cost picks to move. At most traded for other questionable signings.

Pelinka got to be working on something right?

Id call Detroit losers for failing to get better/take advantage of a weak east. They lack even more depth at PF now

Indy also for losing Turner
