    @SlyPokerDog So you bet me a drink that it'd be close to $18M than $13M. Since it's $8M/yr how many drinks do you owe me??

    Olshey does make great third tier signings and trades.

    We have so much depth that we could hypothetically package 3 role players for an all-star and still be 9/10-deep

    Feel like this deal sets the market for Meyers

    Pretty similar averages last year and both missed significant time

    So if we're looking at this correctly.... it would have been either Parsons alone or Ezeli + Turner?

    Yeah, Neil is going to have a lot of assets to throw at a disgruntled star by the trade deadline with the rfas being able to come back.

    We could probably get Love for a package of Leonard/Aminu/Rookie deal player if the Cavs defense is struggling still by February.

    How do the minutes look?

    Lillard (36) / CJ (12)
    CJ (24) / Crabbe (24)
    Turner (26) / Harkless (16) / Aminu (6)
    Aminu (20) / Davis (20) / Vonleh (8)
    Ezeli (20) / Plumlee (16) / Leonard (12)

    That's 11 players that should see minutes. We have 5 others in Connaughton, Alexander, Montero, Napier, and Layman. We'll have to cut one.

    Finding enough minutes for that frontcourt is gonna be a real challenge.

    I still think we trade Plumlee for a 1st round pick. We wouldn't miss anything and would simply give Aminu/Davis/Vonleh/Ezeli/Leonard 3 more minutes a game. We'll have to pay Plumlee a lot next year to keep him and we'd still have 6 players that could play productive PF/C minutes, (Festus/Aminu/Davis/Leonard/Harkless/Vonleh) which is enough insurance to still make Festus a no risk scenario. I think that a first round pick would be more beneficial, and we could easily get one from a team like Chicago, who has no space and needs a center to pair with RoLo.
