May not be popular but its filling a need, Jeff Green for Haywood's contract does work.

If Memphis ever so desires to get rid of the 6'9 28 year old.

Our biggest need is a SF right now. I'd take anyone with potential to be good for 15 minutes.

Has anyone heard anything on Denver as of late??? From what was being reported after the finals it sounded like they would be willing to dump salary, like Gallo, Faried, and Lawson and maybe Chandler.

Lawson is not relevant for us but any of those others would be upgrades to our team. And for those who say Faried would be redundant they need to realize he is one of the best rebounders in game and runs floor really well. I see him as an upgrade to Tristan even though I would still want Tristan.

I feel like they could get more than we have to offer (salary dump) for those guys. Also, Gallo and Chandler are expirings so they're probably not in a hurry to dump them for nothing since they're not spending $ this offseason.

Eh...he's been a dud, but does have some talent. Not sure he's the defender we need off the bench, but he's an okay scorer when he shows up.

Caron Butler and Amar'e are my guys.

I see Caron as a guy who could spell LeBron for a good 5-10 minutes a game at least. As for Amar'e, his stats showed he can still play last year, and he could probably get a decent amount of playing time during the season so guys like Love and AV rest as much as possible. However, I don't see the safari reboot working out in the end.

I think Caron will end up coming here, though.

I wanted us to DRAFT Caron Butler. Would be so glad if we finally got him.

Just after the Nets removed the qualifying offer for Mirza Teletovic, he agrees to terms with Phoenix for one year, $5.5M, per sources.

Out of our price range. Nice stretch 4 for PHX. Not sure is this affects Morris or Tucker an any way.

PHX nows Portland and Dallas are both out of the playoff picture so they're going to want to go hard at a playoff berth before giving up one of those two for nothing
 
OKC needs to dump salary to match Kanter.

If we can't get anything that fits now, can pick up DJ Augustin and filer + maybe a pick so we at least have some assets to flip down the line?

Griff did a nice deal with OKC with Waiters so the relationship is there.
 

I actually thought they reported 85 before. But let's hope TT doesn't make more than Draymond.
 
In retrospect, it was a brilliant idea for the Kanter's camp to refuse 1 on 1 workouts before he was drafted.

I think whichever team signs him will be happy if he improves to merely bad defensively during the duration of the contract.

Why does he need to get it from another team? Since only Portland gave Kanter that offer, does that mean they bid against themselves. After all, OKC had not yet made a public offer.

If Tristan ends up getting a similar offer from the Cavs, then, all factors considered, that's what the Cavs think he's worth.

The whole thing is silly. There's plenty of time and nothing about TT is holding us back in other deals.

How about we simply wait till he gets signed, see the terms, and then discuss the context of value and relative worth?

Because that's how restricted free agency works..........

Otherwise, there is the 7 million dollar QO that we (the team) can force you to take if you don't find an offer sheet from another team and don't like the terms of our own offer.

And I know you keep telling everyone how this deal will be the norm in the future, but it isn't the norm right now. Iman Shumpert, a young role player w/o star potential, didn't get 16 million. Brandon Knight and Khris MIddleton (who is just flat out better than Tristan Thompson) didn't get 16 million. The only RFAs so far who have gotten that type of money are big men who are skilled offensive players. Tobias Harris and now Enes Kanter.

paying the corpse of dwayne wade $20 million for 60 games, if you're lucky, isn't overpayment? Paying Dragic as much as kyrie irving isn't overpayment? green went to a place with no bench, where the starter in front of him is long in the tooth and will probably end up injured, thereby allowing him to get his, and try to get one more payday. some perspective is needed around here it seems.

A little historical perspective is needed. "Bibby becomes the sixth player to take a pay cut of some kind to play for the Heat".
For Mike Bibby, money didn’t talk — and isn’t worth talking about | Heat Zone

Bibby waived goodbye to more than $6 million to play for the Heat for small change. LeBron and Wade and I think Bosch all took pay cuts to play together. Why then is LeBron playing the "get paid every max cent he can" to play here? Looks like Amare will take less than market rate to play for Miami. San Antonio's players have taken pay cuts across the board for years.

Please advise which Cavs players have taken pay cuts or signed for less than market rate (and I don't mean slightly less like Mike Miller). Exactly my point.

Exactly. Players here are going for overpayment, not discounts. That is or soon will be the problem.
