Steve9347 Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 This is really a best-case scenario. All three players contributed in the playoffs/Finals though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rowand44 Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 So, what are the cap implications here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockRaines Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Not sure how I feel about this. We didnt save all that much money and we got alot softer. I LOVED Buff, but the other two are expendable with what we have coming up. I considered Aliu part of the future however. The picks are nice to have though.

LittleHurt05 Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Byfuglien & Aliu gone in the same trade? I never realized that the Bowmans were just huge racists. The trade would save $4.8 from the cap = $3 for Buff + $2 for Sopel + $1 for Eager - $1.2 for Reasoner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EvilJester99 Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 I wouldn't be surprised to see a Huet buyout... no way you can deal him. Not a bad deal. Sucks to see Buff go but we all knew someone was going....I am sure more moves will be made as well though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A guy like Aliu makes the deal more palatable for Atlanta. From what I am researching, the prospect we got in return may be a better player than Aliu who has fallen out of favor in the Hawks front office. And since we have 4 picks in the first 2 rounds next year, I wonder if we try to trade up to get a stud, or if we are just collecting picks like the Pats.

EvilJester99 Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 SunGarrioch The belief is the Hawks are considering an offer a late first rounder and a prospect for Kris Versteeg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleHurt05 Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 TSNBobMcKenzie: Hold up on trade call appears to be tied to waiting for league personnel to land in Los Angeles. I hated to see Aliu gone, but it looks like Morin is a much better prospect. Reasoner seems to be a John Madden replacement. Can't argue with draft picks in the top two rounds. Eager is just a guy, Sopel did block a ton of shots in the playoffs, but you can find someone else to do that for much cheaper. Buffs was a vital part of the Cup run, but somebody had to go, his value ia at its highest, and you can't guarantee he will consistently do what he did in the playoffs. It's funny to see all these peoples reactions on Facebook, mostly people who just started watching in the playoffs, who actually didn't see it coming. "OMG, I can't believe they traded Big Buffs, NOOO!!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
