so about 22 days left.... Hope this gets resolved soon.
Have got 3 weeks to get something done. Just get the sense that this contract is not in as high of demand as some have speculated. Important to note that we would need to give an asset (Usman, Khan) to make a team want to give us a TPE, no one is just going to give it to us as a favor. Then there is probably at best a 50 50 sho we can work it into a deal by the trade deadline honestly, many of these end up unused. Still hoping we can add a solid bench player in the rotation and that the TPE is last resort.I'm getting the feeling we're going to end up using his contract in a trade for the TPE. The Joe Johnson trade seems dead. If we were really going to use it in Nick Young Or Jamaal Crawford it would have been done by now. The lakers/clippers would love to get rid of those contracts and wouldnt hesitate. Some of the other names thrown around dont seem plausible. Dont think the clippers want to trade JJ Reddick, and I dont think we really want DeRozan or Markieff Morris.
Looking at contracts around the league, and teams who would want to clear space, it just doesnt look like anything matches up real well right now. With the trade taking this long, it seems more like wishful thinking on the cavs part that something will pop up.
