This opens up my Sato to Washington idea.

I think its supposed to be Lonzo to Chicago, Sato+filler (Thad Young) to Charlotte, Graham to NO.

I feel like there’s a party, and I’m not invited.

Great piece of business by the Bulls front office…

We probably still can, in theory. It depends if New Orleans wants Sato. I guess they probably do since Lonzo is gone.

Interesting. He is still worth $12M a year.

Not really. It came down to how much New Orleans was willing to pay him. Once he cost too much, New Orleans was just looking to make a S&T to get back anything they could get plus a large TPE.

McDermott 3/42 to SAS. Shooting gets PAID in the NBA. Maybe Bertans isn't that immovable.

I was thinking the same thing. Him being out of shape last year wasn't a good look though.

That and no other PGs of note with Bledsoe vacating the premises. Given his low usage, I am guessing Zion will love him...

Guess the Cleveland experiment of Allen/Mobley is starting...

What's the likelihood this turns out better than the Pacers with Sabonis/Turner?

I think it's fine, for now at least. Mobley is too slight to man the center position right now. And he has the mobility to guard wings. Eventually, he'll be better off at center, once he fills out.

dckingsfan · Post #1456 » by **dckingsfan** » Mon Aug 2, 2021 11:10 pm

I don't know if it will work out long-term. But it probably works out better for Mobley to work on his outside game first (I say this without knowing if this is true and with no data on the subject).

I am guessing this is a dream for the small guards of Cleveland knowing you have those two behind you...

The Knicks are apparently out of the Dinwiddie running.

Is anyone left who can offer $15M+ besides the Spurs?

Could be good with us. If no one's else can afford him we have the leverage and we can push for a lower price.

It'd be a sign-and-trade, so really anybody's in play - unless Dallas is ready to foot a giant tax bill, though, I don't know who we'd be bidding against at this point. With Dinwiddie, Schoreder, and Reggie Jackson all un-signed you'd think that we're in pretty good shape. (Although I believe there's some kind of cap to what LAC can pay Jackson, which means we'd have to sign him outright; I don't foresee us clearing enough cap to do that at what he considers an enticing number.)

To answer my own question, it looks like New Orleans has about $18M in cap room after factoring a cap hold for Josh Hart. OKC has money, but would probably prefer to spend it in a manner that builds toward the future.

Sheppard's patience may pay off. Maybe we get Dinwiddie for something in the $15M per year range.
