    Tony loves Neil Olshey, so maybe we can get him if we can find a center and still have cap room? Center is more important than trying to keep money to sign Allen though


    The other thing that would make sense is to try to trade for both Gortat and Dudley with #10 and something.

    If we have to get our Center in free agency then we probably can't afford Tony Allen (unless that Center is Dalembert). However, if we get our Center via lopsided trade around the draft and throw in at least Freeland and our pick then we have a decent shot at having money left over for someone as good as Tony Allen.

    Yeah I watched two of them last night and both Allen and Barnes were two of the more active players in the game. (Aside form cp3 of course) They did look underpaid.

    IF we went the Gortat route which I am meh on, Scola is another backup I also would not mind having, Scola has 2 yrs left at a little over 4 mil per - good value IMO

    I always liked Dudley. Maybe he just played well against us......

    I've been thinking that trade myself. Wonder if Phoenix would consider something like that? What would the Blazers send them other than #10?

    Dudley and Allen off of the bench would be a dream after the bench this year.

    Don't know who we could give other then Freeland. Basically salary filler. Can't see us giving them Matthews.

    One of Dudley or Barnes would be my second choice from this list. Probably Dudley as he can play SG. Barnes is strictly SF.

    Webster would be up there too if I didn't think he was going to get paid this summer.

    Yeah, Webster at $1.75 million, .422 3FG% and 869 total points scored was a great pick up for Washington.

    Much better than Luke Babbit at $1,892,280, .348 3FG% and 244 total points scored.

    Wow I would have thought Antwan Jamison would have been considered to old. Same with Matt Barnes, Ray Allen and Jason Kidd?? I mean you have to match age groups when building a team don't you?

    BTW that Steph Curry deal ended up looking pretty good for GS, no? 4 years $44 million. He would have been an RFA this offseason looking at a max (or damn close) deal. Seems like they may have found a solution for keeping the ankle relatively stable...and I think he and the team both came to grips with the fact its something he'll have to deal with on and off for the forseeable future. There's less babying and more powering through.

    yeah, but did Webster get a vote for 6th man of the year?

    learn the game then....meh, I can't even muster enough energy to say that sarcastically.

    The article should have been most underpaid players not on a rookie contract.

    There are quite a few players on their rookie contract who are better than the players on that list.

    Irving
    Lillard
    Davis
    Griffin
    Holliday
    Wall
    ...the list could go on and on.

    I think its a given they are talking about non rookie contract players...... although, I think Nic was on this last last season.

    Then JJ Hickson should have been on this year's list. For his production, he was a steal at $4m.
