Sign-and-trades these days are mostly "okay I'll do you a small favour to work around some cap hold issues, and you can owe me one" because the major benefit for players on a sign-and-trade (getting that extra fifth year that their previous team could give them) is gone as of the most recent CBA. Well and good that you can get small things for sign-and-trades, but Masai would have to be a dark wizard to get anything great out of a sign-and-trade.

If we do trade him, Landry needs to come back as the 3rd SG. Ross moves to the 2 full-time.Axel wrote:Now Cody can stop posting about this guy and we have a poster to blame if anything goes wrong!!KeonClark wrote:We won't hear back from him.

We could sign him for one year to get him to 2016, at which point he'll get a lot more money, and we'll have the option of using his full bird rights to sign him to a bigger contract. But we can't use his early-bird-rights to sign him for 1 year (even if we have those rights, which I'm not clear on): early-bird minimum is 2 years.
I wouldn't mind having him back for another year under a different coach, especially if it's on a contract that preserves 2016 salary flexibility.

You get more value from a rookie on the bench than Landry. The rook might become something. Landry will be lucky if he's in the NBA next year.

octothorp wrote: View PostYeah, I'd like a clarification on this: He definitely doesn't have full bird rights, which require playing three years for the same team. But he played two years for Atlanta, which should give him early-bird rights. But are the early-bird rights transferred to us the way that full bird rights would have been?

So when are we honouring Lou???
And, by the way, I would imagine Lou is honored properly tomorrow night before the game when he gets his award.

Tack on $1m or $2m more because of the rising cap, but even award winning bench players (real bench players, not pseudo bench players like Ginobli) have never made that much."We're playing in a building." -- Kawhi Leonard

Can see exactly who voted for who if you go here: http://official.nba.com/wp-content/u...esults-PDF.pdf
Here, you can see guys like Bob Fitzgerald from the Bay Area Sportsnet (Golden State) vote for Iguodala; Surprise, surprise (his 2nd and 3rd place votes were Tristan Thomspon and Manu Ginobili .. so there's that.)
Dan Woike from LA vote for Jamal Crawford; surprise, surprise.
Or Hubie Brown vote for .. Nikola Mirotic? Weird.
Eric Smith, Doug Smith and Sherm Hamilton all voted for Lou at least.Last edited by Joey; Mon Apr 20, 2015, 11:06 PM.

Lou has his full Bird Rights with us.
Sign and trade is a possibility, but it in no way benefits Lou. Unless he really, really wants to play for a team that doesn't have the cap room to sign him but is interested in paying him what he wants, and has salary/assets to send back our way.
Congrats Lou! Well earned. Carried the team for long stretches.
