FlawlessVictory 26 Report post Posted June 19, 2011 After really thinking about it, I fail to see how an amnesty clause REALLY helps our situation...providing there is one like the last. If that player still counts towards the team's cap and with the projected hard cap that is rumored to be implemented within the new CBA, how much flexibility does that really give a team...our team? Not having to pay said player's luxury tax is all well and good for the owners obviously, but outside of that what are the benefits for the teams? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AddiFB 429 Report post Posted June 19, 2011 Are we so desperate for news that we are listening to what Jareth says? nawwww Actually, Jareth is one of those posters who constantly makes me laugh and I take seriously. Not that many posters who are a mix of both worlds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Darrell_Armstrong 5 Report post Posted June 19, 2011 Jareth, I'm a bit confused. That's three different teams and four players on our side. Are we talking some sort of mega-trade four team deal or just some targets and some possible bait? In list of interest: Maggette (none), SJax (defensively some, offensively...ugh), Love (if it's the Love I'm thinking of, then I don't see how in the world we have the assets....but yes please).

Heck, he might as well have made some new friends in the sandbox this morning while making sandcastles, using catpoo as knights. Magic FO people do have kids.

Pootie Tang 44 Report post Posted June 19, 2011 That's what I said...that's my concern. It's the opposite of what you said. I think? You're worried that it will only count out luxury tax, what I'm saying is it will give us cap room too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All the reports I've read say otherwise, thus the reason for concern. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Soul Bro 1,422 Report post Posted June 19, 2011 Ryan, bass, reddick & turk For SJax, I'm guessing this trade: Orlando receives: SJax Charlotte receives: Turk and Anderson http://games.espn.go...tradeId=3ckao9g or Orlando receives: SJax and Thomas Charlotte receives: Turk and Bass http://games.espn.go...tradeId=3mvfyac Obviously, I like the second one more.

FlawlessVictory 26 Report post Posted June 19, 2011 I'm sorry, but I DO NOT want Stephen Jackson on the team. Trading for him just to rid ourselves of Hedo AND including one of our few assets is completely a lateral move, IMO. Edit: Soul Bro's second trade proposal I'd be okay with actually, if we rid ourselves of Turk AND Bass while getting a good young piece in Thomas...I'd say that's a decent trade and obvious improvement. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
