Should the Spurs Trade for John Collins?

oh my b. i misread the post. i had read about Utah making a play for Grimes and my mind went there when it comes to cleaning up cap space

Beal is going to be had for pretty cheap given his monster buyout. i think the clippers are a leading spot for him because of the opportunity and role. Harden/Beal/Kawhi/Collins/Zubac with Dunn/Bogi/DJJ/Batum/BroLo off the bench looks nasty

with powell around it made no real sense for the clippers to go after beal, or for him to go to the clippers. especially since powell wants a new deal

Makes sense for them to trade Powell for Collins if they know Beal is coming. They get a legit starting 4 and have Beal replace Powell's production. That Zubac/Collins frontcourt with Brook Lopez off the bench is gonna be a problem.

I think both Beal and Dame ultimately sign for minimum. Their buyout money is offset by whatever they make,so there isn’t any point in trying to grab a bag. That would only benefit Phoenix and Milwaukee being reimbursed for their salaries.

it depends how much they give up in a buyout iirc. its why aydon didnt go for the minimum

Yeah Ayton gave up more than he got from the Lakers so he ended up a couple of mil short of what he was supposed to make.

Dame obviously didn’t give up money but Beal would literally have to, and a lot, otherwise they can’t stretch him within the allowed 15%. So if he signs for the min or close to it he’d be losing serious money.

How would the buyout with Beal work? What is the likely buyout and how much would he likely lose?

Didn't realize Ayton took that much of a hit from his buyout. How much did the Lakers pay him?

Also, is there any speculation on where Dame might go?

or Brad Miller tbh

Was there really ever a "There is Brad Miller to the Spurs buzz" time? I really loved him when he was with the Kings, very cool player.

Nothing to worry, black and gray Kornet is here

Well, Dame was stretched, involuntarily,so he gave up zero. Guess we’ll have to see about Beal.
