I'd imagine hill is gone before the season. If there's a market for Ariza he will be, or else he'll be bought out.
my bad about Okafor
Not so sure if Hill is gone before the season. Someone suggested on the trade board Hill to the Sixers for Zhaire and filler. I liked the idea (maybe Philly will try to see how it works with Curry before). The Clippers could use him but no good return.
We may probably wait until trade deadline or next offseason...no rush
No clue if there's a market for Ariza. Don't think so...
If there's any market we need to dump them before the season just for the roster spots.

The Knicks have heard Kentucky guys end up really good, then they signed/drafted all the underachieving ones.

Maybe we can help them out and trade them Diallo.

Re: Trades, Transactions and Ideas Thread
The hold up in the Adams trade is new orleeans needs to add some salary. Adams has a trade kicker. It will be interesting to see how it gets resolved. It’s above my head at this point.

Who is reporting that there is a hold up? Did Okafor going to DET not solve that issue?

if adams doesn't amend his trade bonus at all, nicolo melli is insufficient to bridge the gap. and NOP may want to reduce or eliminate the draft compensation going out if they are forced to let NAW go.
i don't see any way for the thunder to convince adams to leave money on the table if he's unwilling. so the only other way i can see this trade getting done is if the thunder find a team willing to compensate the pelicans what they want for NAW, or if the pelicans include e'twuan moore into the proceedings.

If Melli is added, how much would Adams have to leave on the table? Doesn't seem like much.

Even Woj stressed the deal was complicated but agreed to in principle. I'm guessing that means they know it's going to get done, they are just ironing out final details. I think we can take it to the bank that formalities like this trade kicker aren't going to sink the deal once Woj has reported it.

Could mke be waiting on a bogdonavic sign and trade to loop in the kings? Haven't looked at cap numbers, so not sure if there is a way that works.

bobby marks, in his free agency roundup this morning, has henrich williams and zylan cheatham both on the thunder's depth chart. although nothing official to my knowledge has been reported on their involvement in the adams trade, there has been some speculation that they could be (via complicated s&t maneuvering) in order to get a deal done.

Knicks supposedly whiffed on getting DJ Augustin to join, might be a landing spot for Hill given the lack of shooting they have at the guard rotation and ~$20 mil in space.

Not enough roster spots. Also he has had two torn acls so perhaps he has viewed as being close to his ceiling.
And Portland just signed him.

Ok, the only player I think we are going to sign is Andre Roberson?

unless there are more big trades we aren't signing anyone else. we don't have enough roster spots even just for the players reported to be heading here.

We are definitely going to have 2 teams in next regular season.
