I really hope we can somehow get Kent Bazemore on that Splitter deal, the dudes here have suggested that it is possible, but do the Hawks give him up when they already lost Carroll?

Great pickup for heat.
They already stated that it wouldn't be any player currently on the Hawks roster. So will either be an oversea draft pick of theirs or draft picks. Bazemore would be a nice pickup, but not happening.
I would Love to see Kyle Anderson get spot mins at the 3 pos. I think he could have a serious upside.
Gerald Green is a talent.
How much did Heat sign him for?
Woudn't fit under the cap., LMA gets about $1 million more, + McColumn (around $1 million) his deal is two million.
Pretty good player. Can defend a bit and a decent offensive player. Atlanta doesn't have alot of size on the wing with Carrol leaving so I'd think they'd keep him.

SG: Hardaway/ Bazemore/ Holiday/ Schroder (Schroder will see minutes at the SG next year)
SF: Korver/ Thabo/ Daye
Its reasonable to consider Bazemore expendable, considering they just acquired 2 players that play his position and for the fact that he only has 1 yr left on his deal.
If Hawks planned on keeping Bazemore after this year, I don't think they make two moves for two shooting guards.
DPG explained it in another thread. While Bene provided a spreadsheet explanation. But that was before that mcallum signing so I guess it's impossible now. Forgot that.
Gerald Green is an idiot tbh
It could still fit under the cap -- depends on Duncan.Quote:

The problem with Bazemore is that the Spurs can't absorb his contract. At least for the moment.
Never mind. They actually could. Duncan could take a shade less than $6 million and they could take on Bazemore's $2 million and they be at $70 million even. Sing Manu to the RE and West for the min.Quote:

Persuasive Pat Riley.Quote:

Gerald Green is one of the worst defenders in the league. Not even good enough for the Suns and their fans. He is also a me first player.
So what about that overseas player thing? Was that just a rumor or the deal wasnt final yet
Gordon, Richardson, Schved, Allen, Babbitt, JR Smith, Thornton... these are the 2/3 that are pretty much available.. I figure about 4 of those guys would play for the minimumQuote:

With Gerald Green gone, I'm now on the Alexey Shved bandwagon. Do it, RC.Quote:

I honestly think Ellington gets Contracts because teams think he'll turn into the next Danny Green, is from UNC etc. If it hasn't happened by now, it's just not going to.
Ellington is a better shooter than Danny, and he can get his midrange shot off the dribble with ease. The problem is he had never been on an nba team where he actually gets open looks consistently. It happened briefly for him in Memphis. He just needs to find the right situation... though I doubt the Nets are that spot.Quote:

Pretty sure Danny is better than Wayne in almost every possible way. So that definitely helps.Quote:

But that is the genius of Popovich. He knows Danny's weaknesses and rarely asks him to do those things that Danny struggles with.
The young guys signing for a 1 year minimum contract are looking for minutes & playing time to showcase their skills/pad their stats so they could get paid next season. Just look at Ed Davis getting paid by the Blazers after signing to playing for the minimum last summer for no other than the Lakers. Gerald Green should be the primary scoring option off the Heat bench & Ellington might start if Joe Johnson gets traded. Marcus Thornton is probably going to end up on the Knicks as Hardaway Jr's replacement.
I like green. Would of loved him on the Spurs. One of the best Dunkers on nba2k
Shved is much better than Bazemore and Gerald Green IMO. He fits the team and is a much more capable SG and ball mover than Green would be. Green cannot play a lick of defense. I want KJ McDaniels somehow! Trade future 2nd's for his RFA rights and resign him cheap.
I love the indignity in this thread about Green signing for the minimum when the Spurs got David West for the minimum!
Good point. David West >>>> any other player that will get the minimum this season.Quote:
