I can see him going to the Sixers and Morey signing him for absolutely no good reason.

I'm really surprised that Josh Hart is not signed. He would be a great deal at 3/30, but the pelicans probably match that.
Would love to see a sign and trade with dragic there, but they'll have to include another player that seems like overpay by them imo.

Frank is young enough that I wouldn't mind taking a flyer on him as a 3rd stringer, but just don't see how he gets any minutes with FVV/Flynn (and perhaps even Dragic) here.

Does NOLA have capsapce left? I'm not sure.

If they do, then we could just get the difference between Hart and Dragic's salary in the form of TPE. I imagine we'd have to give up something though. Likely a first or two.

nola never had actual cap space, they have operated as over the cap team this summer.

2 different salaries. one is a minimum guy, the other will command multiyear 10+ mil.

our roster is all signed up, right? i don't think we have space nor the playing time he would want.

To be Frank, if I was Frank I would sign with the 905 for development purposes if he isn’t able to find an NBA suitor.
He might not want to head to International leagues this early in his career.

Udonis Haslem. :rofl:

I look forward to reading that Haslem has resigned with the Heat when he's 50 years old.

I would grab Frank Ntilikina in a millisecond..the talent has always been there..Playing in New York is just not for everybody

NotMyKawhi · Post #1675 » by **NotMyKawhi** » Thu Aug 12, 2021 6:04 pm

I'd do Pascal for Bagley, buddy and 5 future 1sts.

Then trade Buddy, FVV and all the raptors 1sts for a Pascal level player.

We'd be better and then we'd have the kings picks for the next 5 years.

Probably smarter to make more money playing for a French team that will let him develop as one of their main scorers. If he can shoot at 3 by the time he's 26 in 3 years, he can come back.

has Udonis made back all the money he gave up during the Heatles era yet?

Agreed;
The kid can defend and he is only 23

On a min deal I would be interested to see what our development system could do with him.
