Absolutely NO, we cannot waste time waiting for 3 days for a rejection when other realistic players we can get agree with other teams, that would be dumb to do
My only fear would be how it could hold us up on important deals. I think Olshey's plan doesn't include any restricted players. I think he's going after players that can either sign without question or be traded for with lopsided deals
wait Sergio Rodriguez is in play somewhere? I've long been of the opinion that Nate ruined him and Rudy with his "system"
I am also wondering if we go this route to an extent, Spurs win with an excellent bench, I this we could do a center by committee approach, maybe sign one more PF/C type like Ed Davis or Jordan Hill or someone else you guys can come up with, I am thinking perhaps our biggest money is spent at SF, we see
He wants to come back according to reports but is comfortable over there (I think his GF is having a baby?) so speculation is it would take 5-6 MIL a year on average to get him over that. I would love to have him back but I don't see us spending near that much on a backup PG. Olshey hinted that CJ might be our backup PG last night.
he's also killing it with Real Madrid, one of the better non NBA clubs. I just had no idea there were those rumors thanks. Not sure he would want to come back here though, but who knows.
Cory Joseph (restricted) Danny Green / Belinelli Tobias Harris / Jae Crowder / Mike Dunleavy / Demarre / caspi Kyle O Quinn DeAndre / Chandler
Absolutely no to JR Smith. Old, inefficient and a headcase. Much more likely we get the NY version than the Cleveland. CJ will be the backup PG. This thread is kind of backwards because who we spend the most on in free agency will determine the positions and needs for filling out the roster. There are a lot of scenarios I could get excited for. DeAndre, Love or Monroe would be great additions. Not sure how much sense that makes if we keep LMA though. One idea is agree to a deal with Danny Green while the Spurs are flirting with LMA then resign LMA. Resign Wes. I could see Wes being fine as a full time SF. He might just be better suited at that position as he hits his 30's. Green and Wes are both great defenders; that would give our defense an interesting look. The Vonley/Plumlee additions confirm my thoughts that Rolo isn't the long term answer at center. If we can keep Rolo for cheap do it but if he gets big offers elsewhere he walks. Wright could be a good filling out the roster guy. Could play against big SF or give us the ability to use him as a small ball 4 with Nic being gone.
Pretty sure his plan is to get the best players he can, and the best players available mostly have restrictions.
I think it will come via trades mainly. I think he takes shots at some marquee free agents just because of due diligence, but his realistic plan are working deals with teams to shed salary.
