Yeah, Crowder would be a great grab. Scrappy versatile players like Crowder and Covington are the types can turn us into real contenders. Of course another bonafide star would be ideal.
Yeah I like Crowder better than Millsap. He is a more versatile defender able to match SF, he is half a decade younger. Id have loved to get Millsap 12 years ago.... But hes closer to 40 than 30, hes older than LaMarcus... not worth the $9 million MLE
We need a 15 million contract to match that salary for Bogdonavic. No way we can get there without sign and trading Whiteside. But we can’t add players in the deal, so we would need to attach like 2 future firsts after we already gave up 2 firsts.
Its weird there's all these Millsap to PDX rumors. We know Neil doesn't leak. So that means Millsap side is? Either they are leaking because its true and he wants to get a different city to match as Chandler Parsons/ Spencer Hawes did? Or its not true and they just want to get bidding going? Or in the middle, its true but not a firm offer again to get bidding? Just hope Neil isn't getting played. His record with cap space or MLE additions is bad.
4 year, 72 would be starting salary of 16750000 the first year. We would need to send out 11750000 to match, provided we stay under the tax after. Anfernee at 2.2 means if we sign and trade Whiteside for 1 year(and 2 non guaranteed) starting at jurist slightly over mle, we could match it. Didn't run the rest of the math to see if we stay under the tax after.
I dunno if there has to be a specific "final piece" for our team, when it is more about filling in around Dame. And he'd fit in great as a 4th creator in the lineup and a good shooter from deep. That being said, I don't think it happens. I wish. I like him a lot. I imagine we go MLE, and then fill in with minimum deals.
