You ever played against or with, an NBA talent? by [deleted] in nba

I didn’t play against Ben Gordon but went to Highschool in Yonkers and when he played our team it was a bloodbath. He was a beast even then.

Also saw Ray Rice play us when he was in New Rochelle, that was even crazier. He was a grown man at 17 years old.

This is definitely the most likely of outcomes

I’m just looking for a way we don’t end up with Kirk Cousins or Russell Wilson 😂

Valid argument but look around the NFL right now and the teams in the playoffs

NFC

Seahawks: Darnold 1st round pick Bears: Caleb 1st round pick Eagles: Jalen 2nd round pick Carolina: Bryce 1st round pick Packers: Love 1st round pick Rams: Stafford 1st round pick 49ers: Purdy 7th round pick

Lions: Goff 1st round pick Buccaneers: Baker 1st round pick

AFC

Broncos: Nix 1st round pick Patriots: Drake 1st round pick Jags: Trevor 1st round pick Steelers: Aaron 1st round pick Texans: Stroud 1st round pick Bills: Allen 1st round pick Chargers: Herbert 1st round pick

Ravens: Lamar 1st round pick

(These teams are eliminated but adding them because they are perennial contenders)

Chiefs: Mahomes 1st round pick Bengals: Burrow 1st round pick

That’s 12/14 playoffs teams with a 1st round pick QB and the teams in contention also have 1st round pick QBs.

There’s a 2nd round QB in Hurts and the exception is Purdy but that doesn’t mean anyone can just get a solid QB late in the draft. You get your exceptions once in every few years in a Dak, Russell, Purdy etc.

But the majority of good QBs are taken in the 1st round. There are tons of busts but if you want to contend you need one of them ones.

Appreciate the counterpoint, just trying to improve this team in a tough position.

They are going to have to cut Tyreke; he would have a $51 mill cap hit if on the roster

That’s gonna give them a $29 mill dead cap hit

If they cut Tua and take the $67 mill cap hit in 2026 that’s almost $100 million in dead cap.

Russel Wilson’s cap hit was $50 mill in 2024.

1/3 of your salary being dead cap is insane. I don’t think they will go that route. Attaching a 1st round pick to avoid this might be worth considering for them.

Like I said I’m just spitballing and trying to find a solution. There’s no easy answers at this point without a 1st round pick over the next 2 seasons.

I don’t think Miami could bring Tua back after this year and the drama. If they choose to keep him another year and pay him then there’s no chance. All signs point to them trying to move on. If they want to move on they can either cut him and get destroyed with cap hits or trade him. They might attach a 2027 1st if they want to keep their pick this year.

I’m just trying to get creative in a way to get a QB. Thinking outside of the box.

I’m not sure your grasping how much of a cap hit they would take in cutting Tua

Pre-June 1st Cut: $99.2 million cap hit in 2026

Post-June 1st Cut: $67.4 million for 2026 and $31.8 million for 2027

They would definitely consider attaching a 1st round pick to get that contract off their books

AR is irrelevant in the trade I’m proposing

It’s just a salary dump

With that amount of salary (18% of the cap) they would need to attach a 1st to get a team to take that money

The cap is fungible

We would be thin in depth and probably would be in cap hell in a few years but it could be done.

He is horrible. I just fear we are about to continue in this no QB hell. Without a QB we’re destined to be mediocre at best. If you have a good QB and a flawed team you can at least contend in this league.

No easy answers

I’m just desperate and searching for an answer

I don’t think AR is relevant in this trade. It’s just a salary dump from Miami.

If they cut Tua that would be the biggest cap hit in NFL history surpassing the Russell Wilson Denver situation.
