he has three years including this year left on the deal

In ideal world we would shed Holmes contract and have 30 mil to work with. We will have other decisions to make too. Are we bringing Metu back? TD? Will Monk want a raise? After this off-season we won’t have space for awhile assuming we re-sign Sabonis. Prob need to make a move this...

I don’t think Len would average 3.5 assists a game if given a chance. Poeltl would make a great back up to Sabonis imo but the main reason to do the deal is to free up more cap space by unloading Holmes.

he is a good passer, good rebounder and at least competent on defense. He’s 13 and 10 on the season which is solid even on a bad team

he is generally considered a much better player imo

yeh all good questions. I’m not sure there is a contender out there that will give a first round pick for a center on an expiring deal. here are all the teams that are .500 or better. The ones not in red are the only teams I think might be interested in a backup center this year. Don’t think...

I would say Charlotte, Sac, La and Min are the only realistic destinations, no? Charlotte probably has to rebuild so I can’t imagine Barnes wants to lose again but Ball is intriguing and he went to school in the state. La could turn it around fast but then Lebron might be gone after next year...

these are the teams that are likely to have enough cap space to sign Barnes. Who do you think could be a fit other than the kings?

I wonder if we could trade Holmes and 2 second rounders for Poeltl. Spurs get 2 picks for a player they don’t plan to sign, can rebuild Holmes value for maybe another couple seconds in future drafts and have some salary for matching in a trade if it comes up without committing long term money

Yeh it is going to be tough. Even if we hope to trade our drafted 23 pick we might not have enough salary to send out to bring in the type of player we want. I sure hope he doesn’t ride the pine for 3 years

I voted for traded in the off-season. His contract is negative value at the moment so I don’t think he can fetch an asset but I don’t think we have the assets to pull off a trade this deadline. (With no first round picks) our best bet might be to trade him with our first round pick (we draft...

What do we think will happen with Jr Uh Oh? Why do you think what you voted for will happen?

they didn’t love his defense but they thought he played “smart defense” and better than what Melo offered. They saw Ant as the high ceiling guy but they weren’t sure if he will reach that

Vecenie and Coach Spins did a redraft and took: Hali Melo Ant Bane I was a little surprised by that but they were knocking Ball for the defense and Ant for commitment

Knicks gave up a first for Reddish so it doesn’t seem likely they would move him this quickly for a back up c. Hard to say what New York does considering expectations.
