    Can't sign Durant AND Hendo. Would have to release Hendo. His cap hold is too much.

    Why? Why would you give a big offer to the guy with the smallest cap hold? He's the reason why we can make a big offer to a free agent and still retain a young free agent. His cap hold is a few hundred thousand dollars.

    So, they renounce Durant at 12:01? They have $70 mil without Durant caphold on the books for next year. Durant is making $20 mil this year, so I assume his cap hold is a bit more, so that's $90+.

    But, you also said
    I don't think we have to worry about OKC giving a big offer to Crabbe, or anyone else - they're kinda stuck.

    Don't pay Crabbe a cent over 9 mil. There are replacement like Courtney Lee, Dellavedova, Sefolosha, Crawford, Bayless and Eric Gordon that are UFAs. Many more that have player options as well. The market for a backup SGs is deep.

    Harkless and Hendo are pretty meh in my book. Both can be replaced if they get any sort of offer like Afflalo got.

    My sleeper pick: Ish Smith. We could really use a backup PG that will keep the pressure on the opposing team when Lillard is on the bench.

    Its not about paying crabbe 9, 10, 11 million. Can you sign a player of his caliber for 3 million? Thats about what his cap hold will be. Who cares if we sign him to a deal that takes us over the cap after we have spent what we do have. Three year deal, for a 23 yr old. He will be an expiring in a couple years if he doesnt pan out.

    We offer him an extension before the end of next season, or sign after next season...he's not a free agent this summer, so he will be on the stack later

    I would not be surprised if we ended up with Al Jefferson. He is very similar to Greg Monroe in the ways he scores and the low post presence he provides. He is weak defensively and older than Our current core pieces, but he showed how much of a team player he was in Charlotte this year by coming off the bench for a large portion of the season. Obviously for us he would start, but I think it shows he could fit in with the culture of the team.

    If we miss on the Whitesides, Howard's, and Horfords, which is very likely IMO, he is in the next tier and can add something to our team.

    Yeah they wouldn't be and to resign Durant if they did that. If the option was us paying Crabbe $14M or them paying Crabbe $14M and surely losing Durant, then I'm taking the latter.
    Olshey would screw them with Kanter, then they'd screw themselves by trying to get revenge

    Doesn't have to be OKC. We played stupid cap tricks with them... Someone surely will with us.

    Our ideal situation would be to sign Crabbe to a big extension last. Theoretically, we can sign guys using all our cap space minus $1 and then extend Crabbe for any amount, going over the cap.

    I'd take Gasol on a decent deal, maybe a 2 year deal. He played great this season. I think he'd like this cast of teammates. He'd be a great mentor for our bigs. I've always been a big fan, except when he was a Laker.

    Keep Crabbe and Harkless. Hendo, Leonard, Aminu are the guys who should be expendable.

    I'm really just talking grand scheme. Free agency and trades.

    For me, Plumlee is someone I'd dangle. Maybe Aminu. Maybe Vonleh. It really depends on what we're going after.

    No way man, Chief is a baller. You'll win a championship with a guy like Chief on your roster.
