Al Thornton makes 2.8 million and Daequan Cook makes 2 million, so they are cheaper alternatives than Barnes and Redick.
We would then have the full MLE and the BAE to get a point and a center.
It's not the greatest trade, because while Thornton could move into the starting SF role, he isn't the smartest player.
Haslem is not a better player than Bass. He rebounds better, Bass is a way better offensive player. Bass is stuck behind stretch 4 mediocrity. Hopefully, SVG realizes that it isnt working. I agree that some changes need to happen, but the enfatuation with UD must stop. Move lew to the 3 and Bass to the 4, play Ryan Garrity Anderson behind him.
I don't agree with that man. Bass has a similar ability from midrange but I do think he wastes a lot of time on isolation, jab stepping, faking, posting, and sometimes just being a blackhole on offense.
Haslem does a LOT of things that don't show up on the stat sheets. He's a very smart player, he can help a team in the background, and he just does the little things. I think he's what Bass could be if he refined his game and worked on the catch-and-shoot.
