Gallinari has a torn ACL per Shams

[Surferdad]

Looks like they're not spending much more if any. Hauser takes Gallo's minutes.  Still missing a rotation big unless they plan on Kabengele or Kornet contributing. Looks like they are.

I wouldn’t say it looks like anything.  They haven’t signed anyone or made a trade in the 3 days since the news that Gallinari tore his ACL.  I’ll be very surprised if they go into the season without making a roster move to replace DG and add big depth.

They'll add another piece or two, I agree. Minimum deals probably. Nothing close to what they could have had with the 17.1 exception. Instead of being clear cut favorites, ownership opened the door for Brooklyn, Milwaukee, and Phily.

And now Cleveland....

Yeah if the C's are truly going to contend they need another piece.  The options are a vet minimum which seems like the most likely route.  Does anyone know if the salary that is used from the DPA goes towards the salary cap or is does it not count in the total.  If that's the case then that's what the team is waiting for.

I think we may see a move shakeout in the season with our guard depth for a big.  We also still needs to see what happens with Grant.  If it was taking a similar contract to Rob I'd assume a deal would be done by now. Since it's not I can see Grant over valuing his salary and wanting a lot more.

I don't think the situations are quite comparable. Rob had/has much bigger long-term upside potential than Grant, IMO. Grant may be overvaluing himself, but C's FO may not be sold on him long-term either.

Honestly this is where your post should have ended.  People need to stop comparing the two.  They’re very different players who’s value is calculated differently. Rob is a ceiling raiser, but he’s also had real trouble staying on the court.  Grant is a floor raiser who’s always available.  You need both types of players on a team, but their comparable contracts aren’t each other.  Grant’s agent will point to PJ Tucker getting $11 million next year at age 38, and try to get $3-5 million more, as Grant will be 25 and entering the prime of his career, rather than the twilight.

I wasn't comparing them, tonydelk was. In any case, we are saying the same thing.
