That's as good as it gets and these people are crying over Kanter's two year contract with a player option

its actually a 1 year contract with a player option. We aren't a FA player for 2 years anyway. The reason why the Anderson/Leonard deals were so off putting is that 3rd year because that is when we might actually be in play for future FA's.

Next year is another developing tank year...no free agent will come. If Kanter opts out...perfect. If he opts in he becomes a 18 million expiring.

He's basically trading for a slightly cheaper melo deal with getting a few assets. Its a very sold deal for us.

He's an expiring. I like him as a hustle player off the bench, but he's a tweener who can't shoot a lick. I want cost controlled assets

he's still an expiring though. So he plays well are you going to pay him? Abrines is more of an asset then he is IMO.

but if we want him I'm sure he wouldn't hold up the deal from OKC point of view.

I actually like jerami grant, throw him in too

If Ferguson and Abrines develop properly, in a year or two, we can re-flip them for a star. We're building assets right nowz

Kanter, Abrines, Fergeson, Bulls 2nd, Lotto protected future gets it done

Allows us to deal KOQ and Lee too.

I'm cool with giving them Kuz as well so they have some semblance of a bench. Kuz is trash

Make it a top 20 protected pick.

That's a solid deal for both teams

I've been intrigued with Ferguson for a long time. When it looked like we were going to be good about a 1/4 of the way through the year in i was championing him as the guy we should pick. He's more intriguing than a Harkless would be for example because he has a way better shot base to work with and his weaknesses are on the easy side in terms of what is fixable. Also younger obviously. Hed be a good centerpiece for a Melo trade given what Melo is now and his contract status.

Did any other person say this is even possible? Because this seems to be something that won't happen. Because Melo not going there

whats the difference of Melo spending a year or two in OKC or HOU? Most of the time is spent on the road anyways and summers he will be in NY and LA...for a chance to win and compete I see no difference. I actually like the fit better in OKC then HOU to be honest. Adams as a rugged low usage center and roberson a defensive wing works perfectly with OKC's potential big 3.
