NBA Offseason Trade/Free Agency Thread

Hayward has been in the league under 6 years. So a max contract for that range is 25% of the total salary cap. The projected cap for 2014 is $63.2 million. So a max for Hayward for 2014 would pay out approx. $15.8 million. Read more about max deals here.

Please God say no to Hayward. Only reason his ppg and stats went up was because the Jazz sucked this past year. Notice how his actual shooting percentage dropped. Also his 3 ball seemed to dissapear. Don't know if he try ed to change his form or what but it showed.

He's not, but he'll get it. There's a reason he turned down a 12m per season offer and that's because he knows some one will offer him 14-15 a season.

[WOW!!]

Yeah  no Max deals please. I don't even want to give a 10 mil Contract out this offseason.

The fact that GH 3pt shot disappeared is concerning. 3pt shooting is what we need. I prefer Parsons.

Just because we have cap space doesn't mean we are/should gonna blow it all in one year. Payroll flexibility is a luxury few teams have and just about every team needs. Honestly, I'd say through a few one year deals to veteran players (Paul Pierce) and then next year we will have around the same amount of cap space we do now. Of course, if you can get a Carmelo or Lebron this year (which won't happen) then go for it.

[Captain Morgan]

I'm for spending now.  I sense Michael want to do that.  Plus, Big Al is 29 I think, and can opt out next season.

We need to show him we're serious about winning, and winning big.

Toronto has traded John Salmons to Atlanta for Lou Williams and Bebe Nugiera, source tells Yahoo.

Move clears cap space for Hawks, who could waive Salmons and his partial guarantee for season.

Salmons has a valuable contract, because his $7M is a team option for 2014-'14 season. He gives Hawks further ability to clear space.

One strong candidate for that $15M-plus of fresh salary cap space in Atlanta, league sources tell Yahoo: Free agent forward Luol Deng.

hmm. After those Hayward-Jazz reports plus the whole max situation, I don't see him coming here.

For a backup PG, I like Greivis Vasquez. Would fill in nicely for Kemba.

Parsons is intriguing elsewhere but he's staying in Houston like Young will stay in LA.

Also, I have a funny feeling about Lance Stephenson.

I just hope we're patient, smart, but still in that win-now mentality.

A quick mock roster:

 

Walker (Vasquez)

Stephenson (Henderson, Hairston)

MKG/Ariza (Taylor)

Vonleh (Zeller, Biz)

Jefferson (Zeller, Biz)

Good read.

(1) Lance Stephenson

(2) Luol Deng

(3) Chris Kaman

PG: Kemba Walker / FA

SG: Lance Stephenson / P.J. Hairston / Gary Neal

SF: Luol Deng / Michael Kidd-Gilchrist / Jeff Taylor

PF: Chris Kaman / Cody Zeller / Noah Vonleh

C: Al Jefferson / Bismack Biyombo

[Hornet_Stebbins35]

Projected Charlotte Hornets (2nd in the east)

 

PG: Kemba Walker /Kyle Lowry / Gary Neal
SG: Lance Stephenson or Rodney Stuckey/ P.J. Hairston / (Gerald Henderson) Trade or release 
SF: Michael Kidd-Gilchrist / Jeff Taylor
PF: Pau Gasol  Noah Vonleh / Cody Zeller

I also think Deng and Hayward and Redick would be good fits for the Hornets also.
