[ official ] 2016 summer moves

Agreed, I wouldn't want to overpay for him. I just have this weird feeling that this team would be the perfect fit for him to maximize his talents.

 

Is it this one?

 

I was listening to a podcast today and Lillard IS Rose-Ruled but they negotiated his Rose rule to be 27.5% of the cap instead of 30%. Good guy Dame.

 

I would give up a lot for that kid. I think he'll get mip next year.

If harkless starts, I could see it going to him.

 

Wet Dream of the Day:
Ezeli + Horford in Free Agency

 

Ezeli is going to get way overpaid. I could see Horford and Biyombo though if I had a similar wet dream as you.

 

I'm OK with that. We have, by my rough calculation, $35 million. $20 to Horford, $14 to Ezeli, then sign our own guys.

 

I have heard the number we have is 26 MIL with our cap holds of 3 RFA's. And that number is also assuming we renounce Hendo at some point.

 

I think Whiteside will be the main target due to his fit with the timeline of the team and how he would fit into what we are doing.

The question is, analytically, which big man performs the best in the PNR? With how analytic-based our front office is and how PNR-centric our offense is, my bet is NO targets big men who excel in that area. Anyone who is good with those stats mind scrounging up some of those stats on guys like Whiteside, Horford, Biyombo, Mahimi, Dwight, etc?

 

I have one of those; they're good skillets, but they are odd.

 

I'd be interested in the details if you remember where you found that.

Cap is $92 Mil next year.
Our salaries withOUT cap holds is $56.8 Mil
The cap holds for Leonard/Harkless/Roberts/Crabbe can't be more that $16 Mil
Dump Hendo, dump Kaman

That's 92-57-16 = $19 hmmm, you could be right.

 

My guess is Horford gets more than 20 Mil. He can fit with any team. There will be a bidding war for him.

 

Here is a good summary of the numbers:

Renounce roberts of course. You can sign your backup pg with the room exception.

 

thanks, just what I wanted.

 

Agreed. Here's a real nice summer of fun -

Including all CAP holds, Blazers will have about $8.2M of cap space if the cap ends up at around $92M.
- Renounce C Kaman ($6.5M). Blazers will have $14.7M of cap space.
- Renounce G Henderson ($9.0M). Blazers will have $23.7M of cap space.
- Renounce M Leonard ($7.7M). Blazers will have $31.5M of cap space.
+ Sign D Howard ($30.2M). Blazers will have $1.2M of cap space.
+ Re-sign Brian Roberts for about $4.0M. Since his cap hold is $3.7M, that removes $0.3M from the cap space - $0.9M.
+ Re-sign M Harkless ($8.0M). His cap hold is $7.2M, so that puts us under the cap by about $0.1M of cap space.
+ re-sign A Crabbe ($8.0M). His cap hold is $1.2M, so the Blazers would then be over the cap by approximately $6.7M.

Summary:
- Keep Harkless, Crabbe, and Roberts.
- Lose Leonard, Kaman and Henderson
- Add Howard

Get 'er done Neil!

 

Here is some stuff on Ian Mahinmi :

Pick and Roll:When Indiana uses Mahinmi on the pick and roll, the teams scored 1.25 points per a possession — which ranks fourth in the league. http://8points9seconds.com/2016/01/12/ian-mahinmi-pick-and-roll/

And Frank Vogel on his defense: "He’s an exceptional defender. He can guard the post. He’s one of the best leverage post defenders in the game. He’s can hold guys off, obviously protect the rim in drops and in helps, but also with great speed to get back out to all these teams that are playing with five 3-point shooters out there. It’s a must to have a guy like Ian if you’re going to be a good defensive team."

Pacer's Defensive Rating when Mahinmi's On/Off: Substantial difference.

 

In your other pinned post, you dont have us with this much cap space. how do we have so much?

 

Ops. My bad. Missed Dames contract. I'll edit my previous post.

 

Crabbe is a career 39 3p% shooter who looked solid against GS.

He's going to get overpaid by someone. Keep an eye on the Knicks.
