DanA_TBDP 12 Report post Posted May 27, 2012 BTW, I was wondering this, if anyone thinks the amnesty clause makes Turkoglu a more valuable trade asset? Let's say in a deal for a Boozer or Gooden type since he really only has one full year left instead of 2-3-4 years. Just spit balling here wondering if we could use him as a salary match guy and teams can amnesty him and actually save money. I know that was the leading factor behind the Hedo/Iggy talks last year was that Philly would save roughly 15 million dollars. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Feel free to correct me if I'm mistaken, but I'm almost entirely sure that you can't amnesty a player that you trade for. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That have to have been on your roster when the CBA was ratified. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
God Hates Otis Smith 153 Report post Posted May 27, 2012 I don't see Lowry coming here, the Lakers will gladly move Gasol for Lowry and something else on Houston, and Houston covets Pau. But I like the thinking here, Anderson is our best, moveable asset, I still think we should try and trade him for Tyreke Evans, under a good coach he can still be great.... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the notorious S.A.C. 89 Report post Posted May 27, 2012 I'm also under the assumption that J-Rich is still very much moveable. Though, that could just be me. After watching him all year he looks over the hill. I doubt we could move him for much more than another teams garbage. He looked the same last year so other than if Otis becomes gm somewhere else I doubt he is easily movable. If he is movable then move him and clean this roster up.

Murphy13 185 Report post Posted May 27, 2012 I still can't believe people want to bring in either underwhelming 2 guards (courtney lee) that don't fit a need or completely overrated players (tyreke evans) that have been in decline since they joined the league. There are a lot of Otis' out there. I personally believe that Dwight recognizes he can accomplish things here that he can't anywhere else, because of that I also believe we will keep him and be much better than anyone expects next season.

We need to start a covert campaign to get Otis a new job as GM of the Hawks. Then we can trade Turk/Duhon/JRich for Horford and JSmith... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DanA_TBDP 12 Report post Posted May 27, 2012 JRICH was a top 30 defender and can still shoot the 3. Coaches who use metrics will still want him. He's not an asset but he's not Duhon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A team in need of a starting-caliber sg to fill in for an injury or a contender in need of a spark off the bench would suit JRich well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just off the top of my head, the Lakers need a backup 2, the Clippers need a starting 2, we might be able to work him into an Ellis trade maybe as a Gooden swap. Heck, I'd consider Good for JRICH straight up because we need bodies. And to an earlier point, Courtney Lee is a 6'5 athletic guard who can play defense and shoot the 3 and get to the rim in transition. We dont exactly have anyone who do do that. And he's young and Dwight likes him. I wouldn't mind bringing Lee back at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ufballer1986 12 Report post Posted May 27, 2012 Welcome to perpetual 45 win seasons then trade all our assets for future picks or to move one of those three picks up into the lottery. keep ryno, add a FA and a top 5 pick next year and it's all the sudden looking pretty good I honestly feel wednesday determines the dwight situation. nets get lucky and land in the top three, retain their pick and send it along with brooks and another 1st our way for dwight.
