Great pickup for heat.
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?
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.
the minimum
No ing way![]()
Hawks just signed Justin Holiday and traded for Tim Hardaway Jr on draft night. Both play Bazemore's position.
Hawks currently have a perimeter depth chart like this:
PG: Teague/ Schroder/ Mack
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.
But even if Duncan gets the rest of the cap ( around 7.2 mil), who's to say SA won't go a million or 1.5 over the luxury tax for 1 year?
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.
Why did Gerald Green sign for the minimum? I'm sure a ton of teams would overpay for him, if players like Baynes and Joseph can get as much as they do.
Persuasive Pat Riley.
Heat will pay him next year.
Much more likely. Team's cold-blooded.
They could finish pretty high in the east if they have a healthy roster.
Wtf....
He should come to the Spurs. Danny is a cousin of Gerald IIRC
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 minimum
I bet PATFO wasnt even interested. I mean spurs vs heat both for the min is an easy decision.
With Gerald Green gone, I'm now on the Alexey Shved bandwagon. Do it, RC.
Yeah i doubt they were interested. Lots of warning flags when a guy talented like Green is only offered the minimum. Sure it's probably a one season gamble to get paid next year, but still...
