Teams to Watch: Buyers Market

[Payote75]

I wouldn't trade any assets for hill at all. However I'd check in on Rubio perfect fit for pop and this team. I have always wanted Otto porter I have posted plenty on that in the past.

Sportac has the guarantee date as 07/02. I highly doubt Cleveland has interest in buying out Hill at this time. His biggest value by far is his contract's ability to get the Cavs a decent asset. If they get no takers at the deadline, then they likely do go that route, with Hill likely being able to get out of his deal with only giving up that million next year. Of course, he could be bought out even if he's traded. He's not a bad player, but he's definitely past his prime now. It's amazing that guys like Georgie and Garret Temple are already 32. Remember when they were just kids trying to make it.

If he was bought out/cut after the trade deadline, do the Spurs still have mle or bae to give him more than the pro-rated minimum? Capulator seems to suggest yes, but it's been wrong before

Why would Utah trade Rubio? I agree with DeMar and Aldridge he would be perfect.

They would have at least one of those, depending on if Cunningham was signed with the MLE, LLE or min exception. Eric Pincus I think said Dante got the LLE, so the team would have the MLE minus Beli and Metu offer, with proration starting in January, I think. They'd also have a bit of the LLE left in that scenario, but the leftover is so small, it may as well just be a min contract.

Also, I was under the impression that we were very close to the tax

The Spurs are very close to the tax, but that wasn't part of the question. Plus, the team could do a trade to fall away from the tax a bit and give themselves some room.

im not sure. I just been throwing it out there since all our point guards went down. I've actually wanted him when Minny basically just dumped him. I haven't checked in on Utah to see where they at or if they really need him but they could use a shooter and a big that is one place where gasol and mills would actually fit. But I would do some sort of combo even if it was only one of them and a pick but I love his fit. As I love Otto porter jr lol

i just took a look Utah is play ehhh 500 ball even though it's early but they have exum and mills would be perfect back up and gasol would be as well. Some people may actually think we giving up to much lol .....on trade machine mills gasol for crowder and Rubio work that would never happen but I'd be ok with Rubio and whatever or however else they want to structure it.
