I think he is trying to say “If we can absorb Turner into cap space, Indiana won’t want Hill back.”

Granted, they might considering they used to have him before Dell signed him to that bonehead deal and, IIRC, Larry Bird has since retired. Bird had basically told Hill “See you in the G league” before he hit free agency.

Yeah it’s not unheard of.

I was just pointing out that they had met with Culver at the combine.

I want to do the Turner trade. If that doesn't work, I want to trade with Atlanta and use the #8 on Hayes, assuming he's still there, and trade the #10 for some other player.

his contract is needed to match up with Turner's salary. the point of IND getting solo is to get turner's salary off the books


Does Turner/Solo work for the salary cap?

I’m sure the 4th pick is a trade. I want it to be Turner and 18 (Ty Jerome) for 4 and Hill. But I think that Love, 8 (Culver), and future 1st round picks has some legs.

Should.

Turner's contract is $18m. Hill's contract is about $13.4m. And we should have well more than the $5m difference in contract values in cap space available.

So we'd have to extend Brown and Ingram next year? I don't see it.

Why the hell are so many of you against paying people? Who gives a shite? You have one contract in double digits on the roster next year, Jrue.

It works, the trade would be part of the lakers trade so we have room to take the contract, it doesn’t have to match up exactly

I'm not against paying people, but both of those guys are getting paid regardless of if it looks like they've earned it or not.

If they get their max and then suck we're now stuck with them.

Keep an eye on ex-Stanford forward KZ Okpala, who is getting interest in 10-19 range after several strong workouts, a source said. Okapala was a last minute work out in New Orleans on Wednesday in case they move back from #4. Also was in Indiana and Detroit earlier this week.

We're under the cap, same with Indiana, so salary matching doesn't really matter.

I know we could just be doing our due diligence. But it feels like there's too much smoke for there not to be fire.


And it doesn't look like we'd be taking a deal with PHX, or CHI because we haven't been working out guys in their range.

More likely it looks like BOS, ATL, or IND.
