I think they might do a Rose and 2006 unprotected pick for Penny trade. They're going to have to do something this offseason to improve the team if they want any shot at re-signing Bosh. Getting a top 3 draft pick (in any draft but especially this next draft) is probably not going to turn the team around next year to a point where Bosh would re-sign with them. However, the move above would put them well under instead of over the cap this offseason where they could sign a max contract FA that could help turn their team around quickly enough to keep CB in Toronto. It's a worth a try.

Don't know why they would include an unprotected pick in a deal for hardaway either

they might do it because

No unprotected first round to take one year of Jalen off the books for them.

It's an unprotected pick because it gives them the cap room to get a max FA to play with Bosh next year. In short, it's an unprotected pick because the cap room gives them a better shot to keep Bosh. The only point was that it's worth a try. Maybe TO disagrees and thinks they'll be able to keep Bosh even if they're terrible next year but get a solid player with a lottery pick.

rose and unprotected lottery pick( to please the masses) for marbs....

Would I do this? Yes. Will I like it? No. Can the Knicks get Mike James too?

I would rather chase Mike James if we have to get Jalen. James would be a perfect third guard behind Jamal and Steph.

Successful Scenario
Due to New York and Toronto being over the cap, the 25% trade rule is invoked. New York and Toronto had to be no more than 125% plus $100,000 of the salary given out for the trade to be accepted, which did happen here. This trade satisfies the provisions of the Collective Bargaining Agreement.

Trade ID

Aaron & Eric Williams come off the books now while Rose is next year and Alvin is the following year so i would say that they would give us their pick !!

Lmao.

You guys actually think they're gonna give up an unprotected 1st to cut 1 year off Jalen's contract?


Keep dreamin!

Toronto isn't trading away their unprotected picks for mediocre role players. The only way Toronto trades an unprotected pick is if they get a star in return.
