Id give him whatever as long as the 2nd year is a team option. Paying $10M for him now doesn't make a difference, it just depends on next offseason
See above? Not sure at the moment, and I know we have money we need to spend, but it doesnt mean we need to spend it at this moment, and their will more than likely be someone better available via trade and cap space by the trade deadline I am thinking.
I think that's exactly where he fits in, too. He's not going to move the needle in making this an above .500 team. But he will set a great example for the young guys of getting after it. This team isn't going for next year anyway. It's going for three years down the line. But getting someone like this who might not be here when we reach the goal might turn out to be instrumental.
I disagree completely. There is no one next to target exactly because we currently have too many unknowns. My opinion is we need to let the season begin and let these guys show themselves for half a season and then figure out what the need exactly is. Right now, CJ is NO's back up PG and if CJ works out, then this is not a need. a Starting SG would be more important. But none of this comes to fruition until we see how they play together and against others. We have too many "X" factors at the moment to target specifically.
Got to I say I like Dova. Whatever he doesn't have in natural ability he makes up for in all out hustle. Watching him play defense in the playoffs was akin to some old animal death struggle you used to see on Wold Kingdom.
Hmm maybe I misunderstood your magical players. I was thinking you mean fantasy, as in we cant get anyone.
I did forget Cleveland signed Mo Williams. Along with Kyrie, Shumpert, JR Smith likely resigning, they won't have near the opening for guard minutes next season. I wonder if we do a declining contract starting at maybe $6 million, then ~$5.5 and ~$5.0 with those last two years being unguaranteed. It would likely cost the Cavs something crazy such as $30 million to keep Dellavedova next season when adding the luxury tax. So if they don't match we'd have him for a year and if he plays great we keep him around. If he dissapoints we cut him for the cap space next summer.
Having Pressey and Frazier doesn't exactly make us "set". I'd be surprised if both even end making the team.
One or the other might. Certainly not both tho imo. Delly might cost too much (compared to what some want to pay) but he would wipe the floor with these two.
It's a perfect rotation, who do you need at backup PG Chris Paul? Pressey and Frazier are both above average backup PGs in terms of potential and ability, they are currently willing to play of the bench and give you different kind of styles to choose from behind D-Lill. I don't just think we're set, I think this 3 get even more than 48 minutes-per between them and that D-Lill gets some solid minutes at SG.
Potential sure but ability (as far as NBA) you are stretching. Plus POR has already come out and said that CJ gets some PG minutes.
CJ should be starting SG. Frazier is that good, he would surprise a lot of people when he gets minutes. Pressey is also a very good effective player, I've seen a comparison to Barea maybe also mighty mouse because he's small and a good scorer. This is a very fine rotation IMO.
