Miles High: The Miles Bridges Thread

[yosemiteben]

In other words, Ben. Why would the Hornets bother broadcasting that if he exceeds their spending limit they will work on trades (presumably to teams without cap space to sign him)?

If they plan to move on, I would think they have some idea of teams without cap where he'd like to play.

He doesn't have to play for a **** team just because they have cap.

Sure, that all makes sense. We just have to hope he doesn't want to play for a cap space team.

If Miles wants a team ready for success, PHI looms large.

[JMAC3]

I would say a week ago I felt like Miles back at 70%, Probably closer to 55% now imo.

Partly due to rumors, but also partly due to Paul George sixers chatter dying down.
Monk resigned, so one less guy Detroit might chase.

Philly options are running lower as well with Pascal resigning.
I am sure they will chase OG, but I that seems like a pipe dream.

I'd root for the Hornets to pay as much as the Sixers offer over letting him go there for nothing.

We have a limit, we have to state such, but we don't have to let him go for nothing if we are also on his list of teams.

rank these, if you could only have one option
miles 4/120
pat williams 4/70
tobias 2/40
bad contact + future pick
hartenstein 4/80

Pretty much that order minus tobias, who we really don't need. I'd rather trade for Vuc on the same contract

It wouldn't shock me if Tobias had a decent bounce back year but I think the fit here is pretty bad. He is already 31, but on a contender that is just asking him to play some complimentary basketball and make some shots I think 20 million could be alright.

I would probably agree, swap Tobias with bad contract/pick.

Hartenstein feels like he could turn into a really bad contract at that price so I would stay away there.

OG for the max would be the top. Watching him on the Knicks helped me understand why the price for him was so high.

But after that:

Miles 4/120
Hartenstein 4/80
Pat Williams 4/70 (this makes me nervous)
Bad contract + future pick
Tobias IS a bad contract at 2/40

I think Morey is going big game hunting or nothing. He seems intent on getting one more star around Embiid and Maxey, so it just depends on if he considers Miles that caliber of player.

I could be totally off base, but I expect the Sixers to get a star or sign a bunch of guys to one year deals and try again next summer.

Philly has 60-75 million to spend depending on if they want to keep some guys around with cap holds.
They could be in the market for Jimmy Butler, Ingram, Lavine via trade and they could still potentially still chase a guy like Kcp or Bridges as well.

Can we get a deal done for Cam Whitmore?

I would literally take him over anybody in this draft.

Would be extremely difficult to fit in Butler or Lavine + Miles. Everyone except those two Maxey and Embiid would have to be playing for the minimum.

Lavine's contract is $40m with a 15% trade kicker, so 46 if he's traded to Philly. Butler is 45m, and he's still mad Philly chose Harris over him back in the day so he'd have to work through that too. Ingram + Bridges is doable though I'm not sure about that fit.

One of the stars and KCP seems more attainable, and probably a better fit too unless they get Lavine.

I'd trade the 6th pick plus something else for him straight up. I've been a fan of him for 2 years now. I mentioned him last year when we were expected to pick around 7 or 8 and nobody really was on board at the time. I'm sure they would be now. I'd be fine with getting him in at that deal, getting Patrick Williams and trading or letting miles walk. I'm not high on miles, as I feel he's a hollow stats guy.

Ps. Miles is still a black eye on the organization as a whole. Even if we lose a few more games we rehab our image a bit with him gone.

I really don't see much of a difference between Whitmore and Ron Holland who will def be there at 6

Well we know that whitmore can play ball at the nba level so there's that. Not as much of a gamble as basically anyone in this draft. As much as I want castle there is no sure thing in this draft.

They had Cam going top 5 before "so-so workouts" had him dropping all the way to #20. The same thing we're seeing with Ron. People forget everything.

Can Walker would be a good acquisition but let’s admit he’s no proven player yet. Shooting was good not great. I like him but think a Miles S&T would insert Bridges into their starting lineup for some time. Agree I’d prefer him to unknowns in this draft.

[GiggitySmalls]

On bleacher report there is a mock trade of us sending 6 and bridges to hou for 3 and whitmore, and we select Sheppard with the 3rd pick. I don't know about you guys but that sounds pretty damn good to me.

I don’t think Miles can be included in any draft pick trades because he is a UFA. He really **** us up because he’d be a valuable trade piece if he had a contract

Can he be included for draft compensation if it's a sign and trade (probably a stupid question but I'm an idiot with contracts and stuff)

[GiggitySmalls]

I think it did say sign and trade in the new mock with trades.
