Make it #23 and #45 and I bet you could take up a collection on CB.

Throw in Amir Johnson?

1. You don't (need $ going back), and
2. Amir Johnson is not a "throw-in".

As many have said. Salary filler is not needed. You can agree to the trade in principal, draft for the Nets, and then complete the trade after July 1 which would then allow us to absorb Young's contract into our salary cap space.

My bad wasn't my intention to call Johnson as just a "throw-in"

I meant included in the whole deal. But we don't need to so its a bonus

I would offer them 31 and 45

Don't think it gets done for that, they want to get into the 1st.

I'm pretty sure there was info out there that #22 + contract has already been offered, so that's your baseline.

I'd pass then.

Yea I'm not giving them #16 ...

Holy Cow... People are talking about taking Jaylen Brown with the 3rd pick and not be willing to trade #16 in the same draft for Thad Young?

Thank you.

Young can pretty much for on any team.

[dannyboy35]

I meant he can fit on any team. High energy. Seems well liked. Plays hard.

Technically, if their best offer is #22 tacked on to a contract, you can try offering them #23 with no contract. So you don't have to offer them #16. But I think Young will be a good return for the pick.

Young is a nice role player and a decent pro but nothing more. He gets statistics because he plays a lot of minutes for bad teams. Is Thad Young going to bring the Cs more wins that resigning Sullinger or getting a guy like Terrence Jones in free agency? Is he going to give us a new dimension that isn't already on the team with Amir Johnson?

People are right in saying that the #16 pick may never wind up as good as Young. But the whole point is that guys like Thad Young are common in the NBA. They cost you $12m a year. They don't win championships for you if they're in your starting 5. Whereas a draft pick is younger, cheaper and it's someone who on average may not be as good but occasionally is far better than a guy like Young and that's what this team needs. I'd much rather "swing for the fences" with draft-and-stash or high upside candidates like Maker, Skal or whomever else at 16 and 23 than spend it on a Brandon Bass type player when I already have the cap space to go get that type of guy in FA anyway.

How do we take on 12mil in salary for next year and not have to send something back?  I'm not a salcap expert by no means, but i thought we would have to.

Wait until July 1 and absorb the contract into cap space.
