Okc/tor

[saints91]

to OKC - John Salmons

to Toronto - Kendrick Perkins and the 29th pick in the draft 2014 draft


OKC gets rid of Perkins contract by waiving John Salmons or find a third party to improve their roster (i.e.. Bucks OJ Mayo)

Tor - gets a back up C and a extra pic in the draft

[Stevo]

Not a bad idea, but how much longer is Perkin's contract?

Also, I'm not sure if we need another pick. It's a nice asset, but we can't be serious about dressing over 2 rookies on our roster for next year.

In addition, I like the idea of viable back-up for JV, but Perkins gets called for just grazing people.

Perkins expires next summer, and i you don't want 2 rooks, we could package them to move up a bit?

[Heatdreamer]

Would you raather sign Deng than pay the 10.3 million for Perkins and a first round pick

[Stevo]

Can't get Deng for 10M; he's got too much hype. He's a good player to boot, so we gotta be realistic about FA targets.

[YoungGunRaptor]

We can package the 29th pick and one of our 3 picks and move up in the draft.

If Masai isn't satisfied with this summer's FA crop in terms of fit/talent/contract, this seems like the kind of deal he'd pursue - especially if he's high on a few prospects. And, if the deal goes through, Masai has a few options with these picks,as an additional first round pick makes it easier to sell a draft-&-stash prospectif he drafts an NBA ready prospect with the other. Alternatively, he could create a package to trade up in the draft. Afterwards, he'd still have the MLE to add another FA to the roster, withthe backup C position already filled. And honestly, the MLE is probably all Masai will get to use anyway after he resigns our free agents.
