Damn you and your close nit inside info.... Ive been burnt on this before. I wont doubt you... Shit....
Another thought....... Sign either Whiteside (#1 choice overall for me) or Bismack Byombo to lower Max contracts (<$22M). Resign our RFA's and let it all bake. Whole team is under 26 yrs old. Let'em grow. Signing old guys Horford or Howard to max deals makes us renounce a few of our RFA's for only a few years serviceability. Maybe better to STAY YOUNG and let it grow. DL - CJ - Hark - Aminu- Whiteside or Byombo Roberts - Crabbe - Vonleh - Leonard - Plumlee Montero - Connaughton - Alexander - purchased 2nd
Whiteside? Fine. Have no issues with signing him, i just dont see it happening. Ill be impressed if it does. As far as biyombo. No thanks. Marc stein said his floor is gonna be 15 million a year and he isnt worth that. Id rather go after joakim noah on a team friendly contract if we strike out on the rest.
1) Buy 2nd round pick draft GPII 2) Re-sign Crabbe 3 year/$30million 3) Re-sign Harkless 4 year/$25million 4) Re-sign Leonard 4 year/$48million 5) Max Whiteside 6) Trade Aminu, Plumlee, 2018 first rounder, future second rounder for Derrick Favors 7) Sign Eric Gordon to a cheap contract, around 3 year/$25 million (Olshey loves signing his old guys) 8) Bring in cheap 3rd string pg, re-sign Roberts or sign Vasquez Lillard/McCollum/Harkless/Favors/Whiteside Payton/Gordon/Crabbe/Leonard/Davis Roberts-Vasquez/Connoughton/Montero/Alexander/Vonleh

Jimmy Butler is having problems with the Bulls because he wants to be featured more on offense. How is it going to be better with two ball dominant guards?
