Will the thrill Barton coming to Memphis? 

Post#1 » by Zordor » Thu Jun 28, 2018 6:51 pm

Will Barton was recently quoted saying he wish he could come back and play in the Fed ex Forum, now he might just be talking about his college days, but with him becoming a free agent this year it is possible we can sign Bradley to the MLE and then try to S&T for Barton, this would definitely bolster our second unit. Thoughts?

I'm good with that except that a S&T would be hard. We have few assets and I don't see Denver wanting to take on salary for cheap. Might not be a bad idea to just go after him with the MLE and call it a day.

Barton, Bradley and Hezonja are on my top 3 wish list. Would Denver be willing to do a S&T Barton for JaMychal Green?

Got to be careful about the salary and years. This team is already over the cap as is.

Latest update on Barton is that both he and the Nuggets are looking to finalize a deal.
