2016 Free Agency Thread

Sullinger now a UFA as Bos renounces - let Leonard go and try to sign him and reshape our front line? Move Plumlee and Vonleh as Sully is only 24 and fits our timeline. Start Ezeli and Aminu, 2nd unit Sully and Davis, Sully has played some C and both he and davis are somewhat flexible at the Pf/C positions. Trade Plums and make the decision on Vonleh or Meyers as the extra big. I think we'd have to renounce Meyers or Hark to have enough cap to give Sully a decent contract, I'd ley Meyers go and then look to perhaps trade Plumlee for a backup SG to take Crabbes place

 

it's surprising that Harden, of all players, was the least asshole-diva with this move.
"Yea, let's do the extension right now, let's get this over with".

 

Okafor unhappy with the Sixers wanting to trade him. The value might just have dropped once again.

 

Boston circling IMO, I would think an Okafor/horford front line would be nice

 

It you waived both, it only gives like 7 more after the qo

 

We can't really get Okafor though I'd really like that.

But maybe we could get Sullinger if the price is right? Trade Davis for a pick and release Crabbe and Leonard.

 

if Crabbe leaves and we renounce Meyers doesn't that give us around 7-9 mil? We could also trade Plums and that's another 2.3 mil I believe. I need to recheck the cap stuff. I would try to give Sully an Ezeli type contract

 

I think I'd keep Davis and let Plums go because of the Davis contract and Plums is due to get paid next summer

 

For Sully 45-50M for something like 4 years would be nice I think.

 

given his weight issues I would prefer to keep his contract smaller in terms of years

 

David west is older than hills he has lost step or two and they have no rim Procter Zaza is rebounder that its.

 

It's really about what he brings when he's healthy. He's one of the elite rim protectors in the league when you look at fg% within 6 feet. He held opponents to 7.3% less than league average. As a comparsison, the best in the league, DeAndre Jordan was -7.7 last year.

 

Okafor is not the poster boy for the type of character player that Neil and others say they want for this team. Until Okafor has a few years under his belt of trouble free life he won't be considered here in Portland.

 

I would love to pick up Barbosa as a bench piece...he's old as dirt but has a lot of game left. Could replace Henderson with the bench mob and he can shoot the 3

 

didn't he sign with someone? I thought I read that, not sure though as memory ain't what it used to be - just checked he did sign with Phoenix

 

He's already signed with the Suns.

 

Now I hate him

 

Hey, do we have any exceptions left to sign Rudy Fernandez back? Asking for a friend.

 

You need a big exception to sign Rudy. I think we only have 3M.
