Turner's season before we signed him was better than either of their's season before we signed them, right?
Given the insane prices of this round of free agency, we wouldn't even get a Cliff Alexander for $7M. Better to absorb a player from a team trying to free space.
We can potentially have around 23mil if we renounce and cut some people. Lot of time to go, we are only in the 2nd quarter of free agency.
They're both several years younger and made less than half of what he's making. And yes, they've played better, so why bring in a guy to replace them at twice the cost?
Who says he's replacing them? Think of Turner like Golden State's Shaun Livingston plus a bit of Iggy. Doesn't replace their Barnes + Draymond. It's also the case that both Damian and CJ played too many minutes last year because they were our only competent ball-handlers. Does it make you feel better if the players Turner is replacing are: All Gerald Henderson's minutes All Noah Vonleh's minutes (Aminu slides over) All Tim Frazier's minutes A couple of minutes from Dame and CJ so they can play fewer minutes and harder on D. ?
Yeah but using capspace to sign Turner instead of resign Leonard and Harkless would be a major downgrade.
This is the only hope I have left for this offseason. They're have to resign Horford as their PF. But is Aminu, Davis and some picks really enough for Millsap? I don't know what else we could give up.
