Not sure. He's a free agent this summer, though. Maybe they don't want to invest big money.

Just listened to a Vertical Facebook live with Woj & Mannix. Woj says Wiz are not interested in sending out a 1st for a rental. They are just not interested. Lou was appealing b/c he was signed for next year.

It's tempting. Getting out of 67 million of dreck over the next 3 seasons would be quite tempting. Certainly that is worth a 1st pick alone, I think even PIF would go along with that. It's the 2nd one that's kind of hard to wrap my thoughts around. ....

Yes & Yes -- & Yes again if it'd help.
PIf since Lou got sold to the highest bidder do you call the lakers tomorrow after noon and say hey, we know we were not willing to go big on lou. but how about we do this. Clarkson/Zubac/nance, for nicholson/smith/and burke and 2017 first and second.
Clarkson is signed for big $ through June '20. He's way overpaid -- but even if he weren't, we just can't add that kind of $$ to our salary load.
The rest of the trade is awfully tempting -- Zubac is younger than lots of guys in the upcoming draft, and he's signed for a few years at only $1m+. You could argue that it's like picking Swanigan, i.e. the equivalent of a R1 pick. Zubac is exactly 1 month older than Swanigan. In that case, leaving out Clarkson, it's Nicholson, Smith, Burke & a 2017 R2 for Nance. Losing the bad contracts alone makes that deal worth it.
But it's too big a trade for Ernie to make right now -- how quickly does Nance or Zubac pick up Smith's role? Who takes Burke's (admittedly ineffective) minutes?
Again, though, w/o Clarkson I'd jump on it -- & all the more if we kept that R2 pick (with a plan to use it!).
I'll be interested in what Dat & nate think of it (& others of course...).

Mostly true, but thats penny wise and dollar foolish. Their agent is going to send them where they can play and be surrounded be teammates conducive to their skill set. Their money will be made in the summer, not in February

So common sense would tell you that they would look to make a move for Barton now, but we know ERNIEs bread and butter isn't common sense

I don't think he's on the market anymore. After the rumors came out in December he let management know he had no interest in leaving Denver. Since then I've consistently seen Gallinari & Chandler come up in trade rumors and nothing about Barton.
