I wonder what they'd want.
Thinking Monroe and Len as salary filler and a Miami first?
- Jordan is making 22mil for the next 2 years which is a lot for a guy who's not the same force inside anymore.
- If the Clips are still looking to compete until Griffin returns, Monroe can replace him while Len replaces Jordan.
- At worst, they have 2 expiring's and a pick to show for it.
Do we want Jordan? How does he fit in here?
I heard Gambo - not sure I want Jordan but can they somehow take Knight for Austin Rivers
So Monroe, Len, Knight, Miami first for Rivers, Jordan
I would prefer even Chandler instead of Knight if need be - need to keep the cap good for 2020 and Jordan will want to get paid
I say pass
Need a point guard - Gambo mentioned George Hill again
I have long figured we were a possible suitor for Jordan. He is simply a category above the centers on our roster. I think we would have a solid shot at the playoffs. Plus, if Jordan wants a payday, we'd be one of the few teams well positioned to pay top dollar.
I think we should get our choice of Beverley/Teodosic/Williams in the deal. They will want Monroe, and this will give us an advantage, because very few teams have large expirings to exchange. They may be okay accepting Chandler, and Chandler may be okay with the move, given his LA roots. Including Knight is probably a non-starter.
My goal would be to minimize the draft pick cost - try to limit this to one first. We could send them all the seconds and not be harmed. Given their lack of young talent, I could see LAC valuing that positively. To accomplish this, I would consider dealing Ulis and DJJ (if they value either positively). I would try to keep Quese off the table. Obviously, none of Bender, Booker, TJ, JJ, PHX '18 or MIA '21 would be on the table.
My target deal would be something like this (
