From what I've read, they aren't even discussing it with the Spurs anymore and apparently starting to move on. The only thing that's kept the door from being closed is the fact that the Lakers have left a chunk of cap space open. if by chunk you mean like 6 million....

Pastor Dillon Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 I have heard, from terrible sources, that the rockets and hawks have had talked about trading Ryan Anderson and two 1st round picks for Kent Bazemore. I think it might be more fan wishing than anything, but it would benefit the rockets for sure to replace anderson with Bazemore. Hawks are in tank mode anyway, so a couple late 1sts to take on 4 million in salary isnt terrible for them. It doesnt hurt them next off season.

H2ThaIzzo Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 HOU-Carmelo Anthony OKC-George Hill, Perkins and White's non-guaranteed contracts, TPE from Cle CLE-Ryan Anderson, Kyle Singler, Future HOU 1st, two future 1sts from OKC Houston gets Melo and rids themselves of Anderson's last contract year. They will be paying about 7 mil more for Melo this year, but having the financial room after this year while only sacrificing a late 1st likely doesn't hurt them OKC is able to save around 13 million in salaries on top of way more than that in tax penalties by making the trade. White and Perk can be waived immediately, costing OKC nothing, and Hill has a ton of savings over Melo, plus he can be terminated after this season and only cost 1 million to buy out. Cleveland takes on salaries, but gets future draft assets. Also, for a team like Cleveland, taking on the extra year for Anderson isn't going to hurt them. It becomes an asset in that final contract year that they can potentially use to target a solid player via trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They probably have to give up more. Oklahoma City turns Carmelo Anthony AND Kyle Singler into George Hill and give up two FRPs? Probably giving up too much. Maybe a single FRP at most. Cleveland eats a TON of salary for late FRPs, so that's probably not going to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H2ThaIzzo Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 If the salaries we were taking back were any longer, I'd expect us to avoid it. We aren't going to be players for free agents for 2019-20 season anyways. These moves keep us under the tax threshold, so we avoid that, and getting 3 #1 picks helps us build for the future.
