I'd look at: $5.7M remaining NTMLE: PGs- Rivers, Curry, Mudiay, Cook SGs- Matthews, Pope SFs- Holiday, Jeff Green PFs- Marcus, JaMychal,...
if we keep our starting 5 --> spend the rest of the MLE on rivers, then the BAE on a stretch 4 (toliver? Dudley?) if we do the capela to boston...
we still have a contender and we will be even deeper and more talented without giving up 2 starters for butler. we just won't have the same star...
I sure hope so. we need to add another rotation player who's better than the minimum.
in a scenario where we don't get butler, sign shumpert to 1yr/$13M (that's the most we can offer without him becoming BYC for trades), and the...
we we can't do anything until butler makes his decision. the rockets spent the waiting time resigning their own guys to contracts that won't...
I would have rather let him go and use $9.2M on a better rotation guy. however if we are getting butler and could only use $6.7M, splitting it...
that sucks since we won't be able to get a major addition using the full NTMLE if we don't add butler
neither team has a bench, but we at least have 5 players to start the game lol. we have way more options for adding depth. and not just in...
its not about getting free agents to like houston. they will always prefer LA, NY, Miami, San Fran, Chicago if they weren't a **** show, boston,...
warriors take a year off. kawhi goes to lakers. I still think we can beat a kawhi/AD/lebron/kuzma team because they won't have any depth. if we...
I wanted him when I thought he was about winning. now it seems he's about that lifestyle and doesn't matter if he's on a team that is out in the...
@saleem @ApacheWarrior FWIW ESPN projects centers and PFs to earn in this range: NTMLE Reach ($10-12M) Cousins, Brook, WCS, Portis, Thad, Randle...
same here. plenty of centers that do what he does, maybe a little worse but at half the price. DAJ, Dedmon, Holmes, would be my top choices, but...
sell high. centers are the least valued position in our system. same for warriors FWIW. doesn't make sense to have one being paid more than...
I agree that third guard is crucial because of Paul's durability. this is why I'm assuming the capela/boston trade happens with or without butler....
yup, other than max level guys RFAs usually end up settling for less since most teams don't want to bother making a poison pill type offer and...
I don't think we can use the MLe until we know the deal with butler. with butler we use the TMLE, without we can use the NTMLE and BAE. so no one...
I've gone down that rabbit whole ever since we signed Anderson. I don't care much is barnes was overpaid, so was Anderson, but barnes fit our...
I agree with most of this with slight differences of opinion. letting Faried go was a given. rivers I think is a maybe. probably gets overpaid...
