Re: Shams: Connaughton for Micic
I guess you can make Pat fit the naughty terms theme we have going on.

He has a $10 million player option next season. They're getting paid two 2nds to waste a roster spot on him for two years as a pure contract dump.

His player option was for this year and he already picked it up.

Re: Shams: Connaughton for Micic
Smart move. Todos los leches. And, yep, he's an expiring.

Re: Shams: Connaughton for Micic
Can’t hate on this move, two seconds for the Micic contract is a good return. Think we’ll just cut Pat now

Re: Shams: Connaughton for Micic
i'll give Jeff this, he is objectively amazing at picking up 2nd round picks so far in the future that he won't be around the team to make the selections.
investigate Adam Silver

Re: Shams: Connaughton for Micic
We swapped a useless salary (to us anyway) for one that might be useful and got paid to do so. This is another good trade by Jeff Peterson
But please for the love of God do something about the frontcourt situation.

Re: Shams: Connaughton for Micic
IDK Pat is at least a decent shooter, with him I have the roster at 18 players.
Three most likely to get are DaQuan, Pat and Okogie.

Re: Shams: Connaughton for Micic
Another sign of Mann's departure? Is Okogie also a goner?

keep them all for the summer, try to use Pat C, Okogie, Josh Green in trades, since DaQuan isn't appreciably better or worse than any of them, and makes the minimum for the next two years.

Re: Shams: Connaughton for Micic
Another nice little trade around the margins for Peterson. They add two more picks to the warchest for the Micic contract. Pat is a useful expiring.

Micic's buyout will be substantial

Bucks have to replace Dame somehow.

Re: Shams: Connaughton for Micic
I’m confused. What exactly do we get out of this other than 2 more likely marginally useful or useless second round picks? We still occupy a roster spot for a 32 yo SG when we already have a newly drafted Kon, a combo guard in Sexton, a somewhat useless but maybe more useful than Pat SG in Green (but on second thought), a bunch of other guards…ad nauseam. We were going to cut Micic anyway…are we cutting Conn with a C?? Maybe he gets added into another trade?
Sorry, I’m still stinging from the senseless signing of the Plumber. I keep hoping for a brilliant strategic trade that makes this all come together…and this fart blows my way.

I continue to wait...and hope...for the return to Hornet's glory.

Re: Shams: Connaughton for Micic
We'll probably buy Pat out. He's pretty bad.

I don't see that happening. He's at least pretty average at most everything. Decent defender. Shooter. Decent ball mover. Tough. And on an expiring deal he might have some value come February.
