Deal reduces our cap by about 7 million for the upcoming season, and we are able to use our Elington trade exception for that, free us enough money to bring back Wade and give UD his final ride.
PG: Paul, Wade, Nunn
SG: Beal, Herro
SF: Buckets DJJ, Robinson
PF: Myles L, KZ, UD
C: Bam, Maten
Would be nice to Add somebody like Dwight Howard for the vet minimum to backup Bam off the bench
Run it back Dwade you aren't supposed to retire in the regular season, need that 4th ring
In that scenario I'd be really disappointed if we lost Winslow, Olynyk and 4 FRP's in an acquisition of Beal. Considering that was basically the cost for the Clippers to get PG which also allowed them to sign Kawhi. PG is also a better player than Beal.
I would prefer to to keep 2 picks even if it costed us Herro. We should save the other 2 FRP's to use to get off Paul's contract in 2021 if he decides he's going to opt in or to even potentially use them in a sign and trade scenario.
Agreed. Winslow, KO and 4 firsts seems a bit much! PG13 also had some years left on his deal, so leverage was low on his and clippers end, while the clear desire to move now by PG was high.
For us, if that’s what Washington wants, then we wait until next summer when their leverage begins to escape them in our favor. The sting of Kawhi leaving will still he fresh in the eyes of the league and few will be willing to make a pitch for Beal if he says he wants Miami and we have the assets and cap to make it happen in free agency. I say we offer KO, Winslow and 2 picks now, and wait around until the finally feel that is the right price. Beals value will continue to decrease with each passing day.
So basically it’s analogous to the Laker PG-13 thing except we have no indication he even wants to come here? Not even one report for his camp saying Miami would be nice?
The reports are us going after him and the Wizards saying no. It would be perfect if it worked, but that’s not realistic. Also we are not factoring Bam and his extension. Unless Wade becomes Beals best friend off the court we are not in a position to influence or dictate terms, that’s why the Wizards heard Pat and his offer and declined. So either we get better assets to trade or somehow try to influence a forced trade.
