    Sorry, I meant Freeland, not Leonard.

    he's capable of playin a lot more, they chose not to. I'm not sayin he'e perfect, but he's a viable option IMO. Is he a risk? yes but I think we have to take some., what's your choice fo a C and how do we get him?

    Freeland makes around $4 mil. So basically it would go 7.8 mil against cap

    Does the 11 mil cap number include the salary for the 10th pick?

    I wouldn't lock up McGee for $33m. I don't see how that makes sense at all, IMHO.

    So the idea is to give up the 10th-ish pick and Freeland for McGee and his contract?

    Olshey would never do that. Ever. Nothing in his history says he would do it. I mean, speculate about it, but it makes such little sense to me.

    If the cap ends up at 60 like predicted, we'd have 7 million roughly to work with.

    I wouldn't trade for JaVale Mcgee. That's what I'd do.

    $7m for 3 roster spots, and no first round pick next year, either.

    Really intriguing. Enough money for someone like Reke probably if you give him 4 yrs/30. Then you have the mini MLE to get your backup PG be it Maynor or someone else.

    Dame/ Reke/ ?
    Wes/ Reke
    Nic/ Barton
    LA/ Vic
    McGee/ Leonard

    That looks like a 45-50 team next year if healthy. Any other exceptions we can use to fill out the roster spots?

    Um, OK. So I don't like an idea to get JaVale McGee. What's wrong with bringing up his contract? Or was I supposed to post "THAT'S A GREAT IDEA OMERGERD!!!"?

    Tyreke is restricted. That contract might get it done but no guarantees.

    OK, I've never been good at Imaginary Trade Land. I see things that make my head hurt, and then I make people upset because I challenge them.

    yeah, I'd guess Sacramento would match. But having 7 million, 3 2nd rounders, JJ's bird rights in a S&T, and the mini-MLE would be plenty to fill out the roster.

    Ya but it's the Kings. I figured it would be enough to pry him away. Maybe play around with some bonuses like we did with Wessy.

    Hey, when you offer no ideas/opinion on what we should do I call that BS, or do simply have none and prefer to criticize everyone else?
