From OKC, it was a cost cutting move as it saved them huge tax bill. I told you this is one of the exceptions.
Atlanta received a FRP for their troubles.
Cleveland continously refuses to just give away Love, proving exactly my point.
Well look some will, some won't. Last year the Suns gave the Pacers TJ Warren and the #32 pick just to clear his salary off the books. Warren hadn't exploded yet but was a great 3 point specialist even then. So one team doesn't prove or disprove every other team's willingness to part with talent.
You are saying I am basically unrealistic to think we could net a talented player like Bledsoe or someone else without giving something up. I am saying there are teams that want to shed money. If you have the ability to absorb money that they want to shed then sometimes you can get a good player without an asset like a pick. It has happened before and will happen again.
You are giving the other team "something" when you give them cap space now or in the future. That has value. So when you talk about any overpaid or underperforming player, there is for sure a possibility that some team could "buy low" and get the player without giving up picks or significant talent in return. It happens.
