[ official ] 2016 summer moves

i think if our frontline rotation looks like this:

meyers, dwight, mase, davis, vonleh..

I think thats very strong. all have different skill sets and i think stotts would be great at using them all together.
i know vonleh didnt show much but i think when he does play next year he will be able to stretch the floor a bit better than this year.
not to mention you can play aminu there when we go small

 

Crabbe and Harkless. Easy decision. Those two really busted their asses in the playoffs. They're both young, and they're both RFA which means we can be patient. Hendo is gone.

 

Will Neil go in on a max for CJ this summer? I wouldn't affect our capspace this summer, but more so next. His caphold is tiny compared to the max he'll get next summer, so if we want space next year, we hold off on this til next year.

But we did extend Dame at his earliest possible time last summer.

 

I think we wait until next year to address it. I love CJ (one of my favorite players on the team) but still a question whether his body can hold up for these minutes and games. Best to show it one more season. If he does it again then no-brainer max guy though with the current shape of the NBA contracts.

 

They also mentioned the guy I've been championing: Joakim Noah.

 

I would rather give Crabbe or harkless 14million a year.

 

If we are going for non-expensive center then I prefer Biyombo to Ezeli. Should be considerably cheaper and is more suited to the team IMO. The issue is I don't consider him much of an upgrade over Plumlee and Davis.

 

I donno man, watch his highlights from last year
I know you can make just about anyone look good on a highlight reel, but he plays much bigger than he is. Think Ed's style, but much stronger, and Plums speed.

 

I can see teams throwing Biyombo and Ezeli 15-20 mil / yr contracts easily.

Not too much cheaper.

 

His offense is where I am not convinced. He doesn't really add much post threat. He could become a defensive monster though.

 

I'd rather bring back Dorell Wright than sign Harrison Barnes

 

basketball-reference says 56.8:

your source?

 

Can someone list the rest of the league's expected cap room? It's a big task I know. It might help us realize how much the market can really handle.

 

This is probably slightly off since it was done right before the trade deadline but it should give you a general idea:

So basically a shit-ton of teams COULD have a bunch of cap space if they did some moves (like not resigning their own guys).

Good. I didn't want him, and it will be nice to see LA waste their money on him.

 

What kind of shitty source is this? He's not even restricted.

 

I've definitely cooled on wanting him here too, and he used to be the top guy I wanted after Durant/Lebron. If I thought Lillard and Ed Davis could sell him on coming here I'm still cool with it, but if he's really going to leave the second best team in the East to go to that train wreck we don't want a player like that anyway.

 

Good point, there's going to be a lot of bullshit for the next two months.
