    The difference isn't enough to land an impact FA. (and who would that be anyway? is Hedo really worth the $10+ million he is asking for?)

    I know, I have been saying this for years, but having a little bit of cap space is a waste. It is only useful if you use it to facilitate a lop-sided deal. Otherwise, you are just over-paying for an MLE player. Call me a cynic, but I firmly believe a trade is still our best bet. With Sessions likely off the table, the only FA I am really excited about is Miller - and there is no evidence the Blazers are interested in him.

    As long as Bayless is on the roster there is no room for Maynor.

    I like Maynor as a prospect, though. One analysts called him "Mark Jackson with a jumpshot."

    Really? I have to admit, I haven't watched any of Maynor other than that video, but Mark Jackson was a pure point guard. One of the best assist men in league history. That's quite a claim. Also, Jackson liked to play with his back to the basket. Is that Maynor's m.o.?

    ...maybe he will even sign for cheaper so he can play with the best player he has faced, rather than trying to guard him :dunno:

    Miller could be had for around the 3 years 25mil at an increasing scale. You don't hear his name then its probably who KP wants.

    Broken clocks are accurate twice a day. That's giving Canzano too much credit. The blind chipmunk/acorn analogy is much more apt.

    Aaaah I see. San Antonio gets RJ, Cleveland signs Shaq, and we trade up to the #22 so we are "creative". :devilwink:

    Hasoos, we like our team, Travis has done some good things for us, Nate is an excellent young coach, we tried a few things but decided it was better to stay put, the guys available to us didn't fit our culture (of not winning a title apparently)
