Vuc - apparently wants $25M, but WeHam are fixed on $20M. Dallas allegedly prepared to throw $30M at him.
Fournier - WeHam apparently are prepared to use our #16 to trade to trade Fournier for cap space. Allegedly they want to make a run at Brogdon in free agency.
Fultz - still very much injured, apparently.
Discuss away.
I'm a sucker for believing this stuff. Could've said Vuc wants $30M and WeHam are fixed on $25 and I would've believed it.
I'll say this though... $20M is very encouraging. Simply because I think he can get more and if WeHam won't budge then bye bye kind sir! Have doubts on that Dallas offer, but I hope they make it!
Having to attach that pick in order to dump Fournier sounds right. Despite homers thinking Fournier is some valuable asset. tsk tsk.
Fultz
I don't share your conviction in moving on from Vuc. $20M or less would be good value in my eyes for what he brings. But I suspect some team will offer him $25M.
I don't understand how they'd be able to move Fournier for capspace, unless they trade him and the #16 for JR Smith's unguaranteed deal. But I would be happy to have Brogdon on the team for the same coin.
Fultz is a bummer. But that just emphasises the importance of management continuing to find backcourt players to develop, because he's not something we can count on yet. All I really want is more backcourt prospects or talent.
Getting Vuc for $20M is not realistic. Would he turn down other offers to take a lot less money and stay here? If he does, then I just hope it's not a 5 year deal. I would barely be agreeable to that offer even if it was 4 years.
