More on PIT/VAN Miller trade:
Both teams were willing to deal with each other and were thinking of ways that they could possibly make it happen.
He thinks a deal would have to be extremely complicated, involving 2 other processes: 1) finding a young C around the league, maybe PIT trading for that player and then trading it to Van, or a three way deal with another team. 2) Pittsburgh would have to think about what their roster would look like after acquiring Miller’s salary.
He doesn’t believe there was an actual “offer” made. Both were willing to do it, but didn’t have what each other wanted.
Friedman doesn’t think this is over. It could be discussed in the off-season. He just heard that right now it was complicated, but it doesn’t mean they can’t go back to this.
It’s really hard to do, they probably need one more team, or maybe two, involved.
Marek asks, why is Van calling Pit if they want a young C? Friedman says he wouldn’t be surprised if the two teams discussed the players around the league they like and how to acquire them.
Friedman thinks rumours went crazy in the past few days because Van and/or Pit were talking to other teams about this. Marek agrees this is what happened
