    They said his baseball money was in the 400k range during the draft

    I agree on Hibbert.

    RH: 10.6 PPG | 7.1 RPG | 1.6 BPG | 15 PER
    RL: 9.6 PPG | 6.7 RPG | 1.4 BPG | 16.2 PER

    His value is low and a lateral move from RoLo - including a prospect like Vonleh is insulting.

    Actually Chandler is the better option. He's better than Hibbert and could probably be had for $10M. you could keep Hendo and cut Kaman.
    Hendo+Chandler=$16M
    Hibbert=$15M
    you'd be in the same position cap wise and have one less spot to fill.

    Middleton will get matched, but I'm not sure about Harris. Im not too high on him

    Why not?!?!

    While we are at it, let's steal Green from Spurs and fuck up Lakers by offering a toxic offer for Boogie that King use to rape the Lakers to give too much for boogie. Fuck every team that assumed they could get Aldridge from us for nothing.

    Honestly, I think Plumlee might be another piece we could use to get Cousins.

    Plumlee, Vonleh, CJ, and a future 1st rivals the offer of Randle, Clarkson + filler IMO.
    Gives Kings youth, depth, and cap space.

    Middleton will & should get matched, I'm not even sure he'll sign an offer sheet to be honest.

    Why don't you like Tobias?

    Tobias is a blackhole and a classic SF/PF tweener.

    He wants the max.

    I'd rather use the cap for a lopsided trade.

    My wishlist (assuming Aldridge comes back)...
    1. Jimmy Butler
    2. Draymond Green- play him at SF
    3. Wes for 10 or less/year
    4. Demarre Carroll
    5. Wes for 12 or less/year
    6. Deandre Jordan
    7. Danny Green
    8. Roy Hibbert

    If Aldridge leaves...
    1. Draymond Green - play him at PF
    2. Jimmy Butler
    3. Kevin Love
    4. Deandre Jordan
    5. Danny Green
    6. Wes for 10 or less/year
    7. Demarre Carroll
    8. Roy Hibbert
    9. Tobias Harris
    10. Wes for 12 or less/year

    For realistic trades...
    1. Cousins
    2. Ellis

    We'll see. Not sure why I am optimistic, but I am. Olshey talks to agents and I think he has a gettable target.

    Wow.

    So enjoying my night.

    You all are nerds.

    Blazers shat the bed.

    Goodnight.

    Edit: Olshey will clean this up, I do believe. And Stotts.... When we realize it's not a rebuild, but it again becomes a re-tool, you are gone. But I appreciate your work.

    We all of a sudden have quite a few young prospects with a lot of potential that we might be able to use in a trade fofr a 3rd star or develop for ourselves. I'm pretty fucking happy

    I honestly think that something big is coming tomorrow. Someone said that you have 2 days to trade a player after trading for him. Makes the timing of the Batum trade curious. The day before the draft to acquire a young project like Vonleh and a solid vet like Hendo + trading for a young piece like Plumlee, leaving a one day window after draft day to turn all these young assets into an all star. It might end up as nothing happening but I think Olshey will make a push for someone tomorrow, hopefully Cousins

    Tobias is silly if he thinks he is getting the max. I've seen him between 10 and 12 mill.
