I think Henny is eyeing Butler and trying to pry him from the Bulls. Would the Green situation help in this scenario if the trade involves Vuc?

 

 

I think Henny might've tried but didn't have enough compared to what everyone else was offering.

 

It's now wait and see and pump up Vuch's value, work in Biyombo as an possible starting center in the future and hope AG takes a huge step. Also observe, daily, Payton's progression and reassess that if needed and groom Mario as fast as possible. All the while, keeping an ear to the trade market and observe up and coming steals.

Just wanted to make sure everyone knew Green can't be traded without his permission.

 

this is incorrect

New note.

here's every trade restriction:

 

100. When can't a player be traded? Can players be given "no-trade" clauses in their contracts?

 

A "no-trade" clause prevents the team from trading the player without the player's consent. A no-trade clause can be negotiated into a new contract1 if the player has been in the NBA for at least eight seasons, and has played for the team with which he is signing for at least four seasons2. They don't have to be the four most recent seasons -- for example, Horace Grant received a no-trade clause from Orlando when he signed with them in 2001. He had played for Orlando for the requisite four seasons, but had played for Seattle and Los Angeles in the interim. Few players actually have one of these negotiated no-trade provisions (currently only Carmelo Anthony, Kobe Bryant, Tim Duncan, Kevin Garnett, Dirk Nowitzki and Dwyane Wade have them).

 

If a player with a negotiated no-trade clause consents to a trade and is traded, his no-trade clause remains in effect with his new team.

 

There are two additional circumstances in which a trade requires the player's consent:

•When the player is playing under a one-year contract (excluding any option year) and will have Larry Bird or Early Bird rights at the end of the season. This includes first round draft picks following their fourth (option) season, who accept their team's qualifying offer for their fifth season. When the player consents to such a trade, his Larry Bird/Early Bird rights are not traded with him, and instead becomes a Non-Bird free agent3.

•For one year after exercising the right of first refusal to keep a restricted free agent. The player must consent to a trade to any team, although he cannot be traded to the team that signed him to the offer sheet.

 

In addition, teams cannot trade players under the following circumstances:

•For two months after receiving the player in trade, if the trade aggregates the player's salary with the salaries of other players. However, the team is free to trade the player immediately, either by himself or without aggregating his salary with other salaries. This restriction applies only to players who were acquired using an exception (and not cap room). (Also see question number 88.)

•When the trade deadline has passed. Teams are free to make trades again once their season has ended4, but cannot trade players whose contracts are ending or could end due to an option or ETO.

•For three months or until December 15 of that season (whichever is later) after signing a contract as a free agent or matching an offer sheet to a restricted free agent. This obviously does not apply to the trade completing a sign-and-trade transaction (see question number 91).

•For three months or until January 15 of that season (whichever is later) after re-signing a free agent with Larry Bird or Early Bird rights, if the team is over the cap, the player's new salary is above the minimum, and he receives a raise greater than 20%.

•For 30 days after signing as a draft pick. This applies even for later-signed first round picks, who are signed using cap room at least three seasons after they are drafted (see question number 51).

•For six months after signing a player to an extension that is over the limit (in terms of years, salary or raises) for an extend-and-trade transaction5 (see question number 94).

•After claiming a player on waivers, for 30 days if the player was claimed during the season. If the player was claimed during the offseason, he cannot be traded until the 30th day of the following season.

•A team cannot reacquire a player they traded away during that season (a season being July 1 - June 30). If he is waived by his new team, then he cannot re-sign with his original team until the one-year anniversary of the trade, or until the July 1 following the end of his contract, whichever comes first. However, if a team trades a player's draft rights, they can reacquire the player during the same season.

•Until the following July 1 if the player was acquired through the Amnesty provision via a secondary waiver claim (see question number 69).

•When a player is waived through the Amnesty provision he cannot be reacquired for the length of the terminated contract.

•A team cannot acquire players during a season when they do not have room on their 15-man roster, even if they intend to waive an incoming player immediately. For example, a team with 14 players cannot trade one player for three, while simultaneously waiving an incoming player to remain at 15 players6.

Rockets offensive guru Chris Finch is a free agent. He was a guy I mentioned a long time ago when speculating about Vogel's staff. We should hire him immediately

I've also heard great stuff about him. But you gotta think 28 other teams may have an interest in him. Maybe since we have a small staff, we'd be 1 of a handful of real options. Can't imagine anyone else firing and demoting a coach to make room for him.

I see him landing with the Lakers, not Boston. I know the media says Boston has great assets, but I personally don't like their young players. Yes, they hustle and play good team ball, but I don't see any of them becoming a stud. I know Boston has the Nets pick, so that does have a lot of value. Meanwhile, I do like Russell, Ingram and Randle, as all are on rookie contracts, all fit defined positions, and all are on rookie deals.

Wolves just signed their 8th, E-I-G-H-T-H, PF/C player (Jordan Hill) but you won't hear a PEEP about how their frontcourt is crowded.

Edit: Boston does have the Nets pick, which has a lot of value.

 

 

I agree about LA.

 

Man I wish this was one of those opportunities we could go after.

[Soul Bro 1,422]

With the Westbrook trade chatter, I wonder where (or if) we line up in the list of possible destinations for him.

Vuc/Payton/Green?
