ZoomSlowik Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 (edited) QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jun 14, 2013 -> 02:10 PM) Atlanta and Houston Houston has WAY too much commited for both, though they can get one. You have to remember that through a quirk in the CBA, the AVERAGE of Lin and Asik's contract is used for Houston, whereas if their teams had matched it would have been the actual yearly salaries (I don't get it either). That means that they have close to $30 million commited just between Harden, Lin and Asik. Edited June 14, 2013 by ZoomSlowik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2Jimmy0 Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 14, 2013 -> 01:39 PM) Does any team have enough cap space that they could make a legit run at both? Balta, I think Atlanta could do it. I think the Clippers could dump some pieces and pull it off as well though. Dallas has enough room for 1 player.

Atlanta is the best opportunity for them to play together. I could totally see Sterling messing this up too and losing Paul, which would be both a travesty, because the Clippers are fun to watch, and hilarious simply because they are a perpetual circus.

I think the Clippers could dump some pieces and pull it off as well though. Dallas has enough room for 1 player. The only way the Clippers could do it is a sign-and-trade with the Lakers. Even without Paul, they have $45 million commited next year, which doesn't leave them enough for one "mini-max" much less the "mega-max" these two can get. They can use the amnesty to "dump" one guy (Jordan), but Griffin and Butler would still be major obstacles. A sign-and-trade with Blake and Bledsoe would be pretty great for the Lakers, but I still seriously doubt they'd facilitate Dwight going to their in-building rival.

Soxbadger Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Itd be a tough spot for the Lakers. Blake is better than nothng. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I don't know how Rotoworld thinks Houston will do it. They need to clear more space just to get one of them. Paycuts? Those would have to be pretty sizeable ones, and I generally don't assume that's going to happen (stupid Heat). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like it would be Deandre Jordan and two 1st-rounders for Garnett, Rivers. That's a win for Celts, if you ask me. They were going to lose Doc anyway and KG has to be close to retirement.

ZoomSlowik Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Spurs are just getting way better shots, and even when they do get to the rim the Heat aren't finishing (at least 5 point-blank misses in the second half). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
