    True, but do you want to spend 20 million on a player just so he can spread the floor? He is a good passer and rebounder and he is a smart player, but he looked out of sinc last year.

    That's not necessarily true. How much cap space did this clear?

    So if we renounce Kaman, Rolo, and Wes, how much space does that give us?

    NBAdraft.net says Vaughn has a promise from the Bucks at #18.

    Vonleh was the 9th pick in last years draft and he's 19

    That value doesn't sound right though. 23 should get you better than 35+37.

    It saves money, 1st rounders get paid more on rookie contracts and the 23 pick isn't that much better than later picks..could be the scouts have under the radar guys expected to be 2nd rounders that fill needs more than the guys at 23

    I guess... Honestly if we want the best value while saving money... 23 for the rights to Saric (Who wont come over till at least 18-19) and one of their later 2nd rounders..
