TO TRADE THEIR BIGGEST DEFENSIVE PLAYER FOR A SCORER WOULD BE A MISTAKE IF THEY CAN'T HOLD TEAMS WITHOUT ANY DEFENCE. LET BE HONEST I LOVE MY HAWKS BUT NO ONE ON THE TEAM IS A CONSTANCE PRODUCTIVE PLAYER.Andrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14303998269341622338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8912756.post-53577385777556525802011-06-23T13:47:28.194-04:002011-06-23T13:47:28.194-04:00Bill Simmons noted in his draft preview that the n...Bill Simmons noted in his draft preview that the next CBA may include a provision allowing each team to remove one player's contract from counting towards the cap. Team would still need to pay out on the deal, but it would not count towards the overall cap number.<br /><br />If something like that is hovering out there under the next CBA, I don't see how you trade Smith to cope with Johnson's onerous contract.
