The Hawks didn't want the five or six players we might have been able to offer them, but we had the TPE. And now we don't. Hopefully the other 28 teams don't see things the same way.
It's not the players Dallas is offering that's the problem. Gafford and PJW are good players, and loads of teams would want them. It's the money they have attached. It doesn't have to be "bad salary" for a team not to want it anymore, it just has to be "salary," lol.
I bet loads of teams would want Marshall, so my assumption is either that Dallas isn't shopping him or that they're asking for too much.
I think they already have something setup involving Thompson. The whole world seems convinced he's going to play in Miami next season, so I'm guessing they've already got a deal lined up, agreed to buy him out...something.
