Let's run this back. We've had a few "what would you do" threads but now the season is over and I'm curious what people are thinking. Base your post on the assumption that we will:

A) Have the 6th and 11th picks

B) Have anywhere between 14 and 18 million in cap space.

Who would you hire as coach? Who would you hire as GM? Who would you sign or trade for?

Here's mine:

1. Hire Jerry Sloan

2. Trade Mattews, Williams, and the 11th pick to Boston for Rondo.

3. Draft Beal at #6

4. Renounce Claver

5. Sign Hawes to an offer sheet (hopefully around 10 million per year)

6. Sign Ray Allen to a 14 million/2 year deal (7 mil per)

7. Sign Flynn to a 2 million/1 year deal

8. Sign our free agents (Batum, Hickson, Freeland)

Rondo/Flynn/Smith
Beal/Allen
Batum/Babbitt
Aldridge/Hickson
Hawes/Freeland/Thomas

I'm thinking we could get Boston to bite on the Rondo deal because A) they want to go after Deron and Wes would help with that, and B) they get a few young guys to bolster their roster. Might have to deal the 6th pick instead of the 11th. I think Sloan would get a lot out of Rondo. Pairing Rondo and Aldridge with Sloan could do great things.

I'd really like to go after Hawes this summer, but I'm not sure what kind of market he's going to get. He's putting up pretty good numbers in the playoffs and we need a new center. I'm hoping 10 million per year would be enough. Maybe we could front load this one like we did with Matthews.

Allen would be a nice player off the bench, or you could start him while Beal learns the ropes. I've always loved Ray Ray's game. I think a two-year deal would work pretty well for us, but I'm not sure if he'd go for it. Ray will probably want a three or four year deal to finish off his career, I'm just not sure if anyone will give it to him.
 
Fez's revised bullet points:

*Hire Mike D'Antoni or Mike Budenholzer

If we keep the picks:

#6 Bradley Beal (we may have to trade up to #4)
#11 Kendall Marshall

Option B:

To Portland:
DeMarcus Cousins

To Sacramento:
#6 pick
#11 pick
2014 first round pick or --
Rights to Joel Freeland

I wouldn't offer any long-term deals. I would position the cap to have the flexibility to offer James Harden the full max next summer.

It would also be wise to start listening to offers for LMA.
 
If I were owner, and assuming we had 6 and 11 (which we wont), 14-18 million in cap space (which we wont), here is what I would do

1. Hire Kevin O'Connor as GM

2. Hire Mike Malone or Mike Budenholzer as head coach

3. #6 draft Jeremy Lamb

4. #11 trade that pick with Wes Matthews to Denver for a S&T for JaVale McGee

5. Buy a pick in the late teens or early 20's and select Terrence Ross

6. Select BPA with two second round picks

7. Sign Goran Dragic

8. Sign Erson Ilyasova

9. Sign Nicolas Batum

10. Sign Joel Freeland

11. Sign Joel Przybilla

Dragic/Williams/Smith
Lamb/Williams/Ross
Batum/Babbitt
Aldridge/Ilyasova/Freeland
McGee/Przybilla/Freeland

I don't think there is any way in hell that Boston trades Rondo for that

I was thinking offering Aldridge to OKC for Harden could work, but then what? Throw some money at Ryan Andersen?

Ya, I would. That would be an interesting move. Erson Ilyasova would be a nice player also

What kind of money does Andersen command this summer? I was trying to figure out the market for guys like Hawes, Andersen, and Jason Thompson.

I think it's somewhere around Batum money? You could probably land two of Dragic, Anderson, Hawes, Thompson, with our money

A DeMarcus/Anderson combo would be great. Perfect complements to each other.

So would a Lebron/Batum wing combo. But Sacramento isn't taking 6 and 11 for Demarcus. At some point, you want to envision reasonable deals slightly. They have no reason to do it, for the same reasons you would want to do it for him.

I'm wondering if Hawes is worth 10+ though, simply because he's a legit center and he's putting up good numbers. Trading for Harden and then landing Dragic/Andersen would be a pretty solid summer.

Dragic
Harden
batum
Andersen
Perkins
 
Ok, I am revising

1. Hire Kevin O'Connor

2. Hire Budenholzer or Malone

3. Fire entire training and medical staff

4. Fire entire scouting team

5. Trade #6 and #11 to OKC for Harden

6. Trade Aldridge to Houston for Lowry, #14 and #16

7. Draft Terrence Jones and Terrence Ross

8. Draft BPA with 2nd rounders

9. Sign Erson Ilyasova

10. Sign Spencer Hawes

11. Sign Batum, Hickson, Freeland, Przybilla

12. Sign Bayless

Lowry/Bayless/Smith
Harden/Williams/Ross
Batum/Babbitt/Jones
Hickson/Ilyasova/Freeland
Hawes/Przybilla/Thomas

Why do you think the #6 and #11 are worth Harden but Wes and the 6th or 11th aren't worth Rondo? I'm thinking Harden might have more value than Rondo right now.
 
I found Bert Kolde's plan, fwiw.

wile-e-coyote-blueprint-2-1600x1200.png
 
Obviously we all want D-Will and Harden and Anthony Davis. In all likelihood, we're getting none of them. Here's a plan that is intentionally out of left field, assuming that every "swing for the fences" has whiffed.

The EuroPlan (that's enough to piss off a certain contingent right there)

Coach: Mike D'Antoni (okay, that's one "swing for the fences" but we have no cap on what we can offer coaches, so we should be able to lure whomever we REALLY want)
Reason: he was a star coach in Europe and would also help in recruiting players.

PG: Milos Teodosic (He may be the best young non-US player never to have played in America. He's big, he's a great shooter and passer. This is assuming we don't get Dragic.)
SG: Batum (it's where he's put up his best numbers)
SF: Iguodala (in my mind, Philly will want to unload him because Evan Turner is their future)
PF: Aldridge
C: Sofoklis Schortsianitis (He's a bit Sabas-esque in that he's huge and immobile, but very skilled. It would be fun watching Dwight Howard failing to budge him from the block)

Backups: Freeland, Claver and Spanoulis. He left the US in a huff with Jeff Van Gundy, but he'd love D'Antoni, and the chance to prove that it was never him who failed.

The Spurs have done very well with non-US-born players, and if you're screwed in the draft and free agency, they're the third option that is usually ignored. Why not give it a shot? You don't have to pay them half as much as US players to be paying them more than they would otherwise get. Of course, I don't know about the contract status of any of these players, and what buyouts they may need.

I don't wan't DWill
 
Fire whomever had Nolan Smith slated as a first round pick.

The talent scouts have proved to be one of the worst in the NBA. They have to go. Paul really needs to look at this.
 
1) Fire Bert Kolde and have him change his name to Vojislav Darksuitovich

2) Have VD buy the Kings.

3) Trade our crap for their young stars.

4) Have VD sell the team before anyone was the wiser.

5) Fake VDs death, rehire Bert Kolde.


Having Bert Kolde, $1,000,000
Having Bert Kolde buy other teams, priceless.
 
Hire D'Antoni

Draft Beal and Terrance Jones

Re-Sign our free agents

Go after Eric Gordon


Re-Instate MIXUM

D'Antoni has won nothing in 10 years of coaching several all-stars and an MVP

Beal and Gordon are the same player

I agree about Mixum
 
I wouldn't mind a Beal/Gordon backcourt

Again, Mixum has been posting this entire season. You all just can't tell which moniker he's been using because his usually overly negative posts have blended right in during this crappy season.

Funny, but he should be reinstated
