Hawks/Heat Trade

[HawksGM]

Hawks Trade:
Michael Thompson

Heat Trade:
James Bailey
William Geiger

[HawksGM]

Jackson Payton cut to make this work

[HeatGM]

i agree on this.... my frontcourt is so weak that even thompson can start for me  but definitely an improvement

[WizardsGM]

I like this trade for the Heat. Upgraded their depleted frontcourt modestly without giving up much at all.

[KingsGM-old]

Yeah. Had no idea that Thompson is so cheap.

[CelticsGM]

thompson going for nothing. Ouch.

Bailey is just about the prototypical role player & career backup you can find. No offense, good defense, bad handling. He'll probably never deserve a starting spot. I don't even talk about Geiger.

And while Thompson is nowhere a star himself, he's got tons more upside, and that in a league where decent big men are rare, especially now after half of the remaining veterans retired.

Did i say "ouch" yet ?

[HawksGM]

i think an A defender coming off the bench is a little more than nothing.  Sure he has no offensive skills but defense matters too and 2 A defenders on the wing isn't something bad to have.
