I hope so, deadlines create action. I highly doubt the Knicks would be willing to part with RJ but thats a dream scenerio. Maybe in a 3 team trade we could get him if another team gives something to the Knicks making RJ expendable--but I highly doubt they do Sexton for Barrett swap unless they can get a SF prospect or good draft pick they like from a different team.
Is it at all possible to loop in the Warriors who have said to have interest in Love? Please dont quote me on salaries this is a guess
CLE
In- Barrett + NYK 2nd
NYK
In- Sexton + Wiggins
GS
In- Love + Prince
This seems crazy optimistic on a multitude of fronts.
I think we would have a better shot at acquiring Wiggins over Barrett, and agree that either way, moving Love as part of a deal makes it that much more unlikely.
Unless the Heat really think they can rehab him, and how can they think that after he had to bow out of the Olympics, I just don't see him getting moved. We're seven months away from the next deadline and at that point, he'll be owed less than $40M. He can can give back like $12M and everyone can go their separate ways. I'd rather have like $18-20M in dead cap next summer than part with any type of serious trade asset to move him. It would take a borderline miraculous bounce back season for him to even get to neutral trade value where another team would give up an expiring contract. If that happened by some chance, I'd assume we were actually in the playoff hunt and he was adding value. I think a buyout or medical retirement are the two most likely options.
