Simple stuff. He’s 23 years old. You’re capped out sure, but you just paired Noel with Wall Beal Oubre Porter for the next few years.

Why would the Mavs do that? The Lakers had to sacrifice DeAngelo Russell to get rid of Moszgov.

And why do you keep acting like we have to avoid the luxury tax? They have said over and over that they would pay it. We aren’t trading our pick to just dump a contract. Step back off the cliff

Allow me to express it in words.nate33 wrote:Man, I've scoured the contracts all morning, but I can't find any cap-saving deal that makes any sense for both teams, other than simply attaching a pick to Jason Smith and sending him to an under-the-cap team.
Nobody needs a center, and the only teams with Trade Exceptions are already pushing the luxtax and aren't looking to add players.
I really hope that Ted signed off on paying the luxury tax when he agreed to acquire Mahinmi and extend Wall. Otherwise, I fear we're going to trade a 1st round pick to dump Smith, and then end up trading another 1st round pick a year or two down the road to dump Mahinmi's final year. Mahinmi is a dinosaur in this league. You are better off just going small and playing a PF in his place. Nobody wants him.
Words can't express what a disaster the Summer 2016 offseason was. It has already cost us a 1st round pick and will certainly cost us at least one more, all while wasting about $90M and getting us NOTHING USEFUL WHATSOEVER in on-the-court talent.
I don't know. Historically, Ernie has traded away picks.NatP4 wrote:We got Satoransky that offseason

No. Keep this draft pick and get someone better than Noel.NatP4 wrote:Mahinmi+2018 1st for Nerlens Noel.

The Vesely draft was unforgiveable.daSwami wrote:I'm hoping EG stands pat, not because I think this team can contend this year with its current roster, but more because I feel like any hope for near-future success lay in the draft. People rightfully love to hate on EG's GM skills, but if you can forgive the Jan Vesely disaster, he's drafted us a decent core in Wall, Beal, Otto, Oubre and Sato. At this point, I think the smartest play is to hold onto all draft picks, take a few chances on some "high-upside" type late-round picks (ala, Whiteside, D. Jordan, Gobert ...) and pray.

I don't think there's a dumb enough team to take that contract unless you give up a bunch of draft picks and/or take on somebody else's bad contract.

Presti is too good at the draft to give us a pick though

Well, in fairness, we took Mike Pence off their hands. Taking back Mahinmi is the least they can do.

Hood/Johnson for Gortat?
I'd rather get Favors. And then make moves to clear some space so he could be re-signed, even if it takes our 1st. He'd be the perfect C on this team and I dont think he would be super expensive to re-sign.
