[ official ] 2016 summer moves

Assuming the CAP will be at $92M, and counting DeRozen's cap hold, TOR has approximately $7M of cap space to offer Biyombo a contract.

Note: DeRozen's CAP hold is $15M (150% of previous salary). This would kick in if he does not pick up his player option at $10M.

 

Watching Toronto play and then looking at the stats, I'm realizing that Terrence Ross is essentially the same player as Allen Crabbe. Ross got a 3 year 31.5 million dollar extension. I guess I wouldn't mind giving Crabbe around that much.

 

Good input from Eric Pincus -

"Ezeli is restricted - so Warriors have a say - Biyombo in control of his destiny - can go/stay wherever he wants"

 

Terrance Ross is more like JR Smith IMO. He takes poor contested shots frequently. Crabbe plays within the flow of the offense.

 

Bro T- Ross jumps outta the GYM. Crabbe? Yeah no...

But money wise you're correct.

 

He may jump higher but he doesn't seem to do that much with his athleticism. Their stats are remarkably similar across the board. On a side note, I actually played a spring league game against Ross once, and a couple of my friends lost to him in the Street Jam dunk contest about 6 years ago.

 

If he takes a lot more contested shots that makes his percentages more impressive, they are only very slightly lower than Crabbe's.

 

Who has more dunks? That would indicate who's using there athleticism more. Stats don't take a true picture of a player's play style. After reffing Ross and following his career after graduating from Jeff, IMHO his style of play doesn't resemble Crabbe's.

 

37.5 vertical compared to 36. It's not like Crabbe is that far off

 

Not impressive when he is shooting bricks leading to fast breaks. Ross basketball IQ is low that is why he takes so many terrible shots.

 

If Portland is actually interested, I agree that Howard is the most likely. Whiteside likes his life in Miami and I'm not sure he's all about winning. "Just trying to get my 2k rating up." Yeah that doesn't sound like a guy that's chasing a ring. Howard's best, and most realistic, fit is in Portland. Biggest question is whether or not Olshey is interested

 

And I doubt any team offers Howard the max. I mean come on. Really? $30M? Nah

 

Some stupid team like the Knicks would do it.

 

Well then we'll know Howard is only after the money, which is his right, but not someone I'd want anyway.

 

Keep an eye on MIA this offseason.

They have Wade, Deng, Whiteside all as unrestricted free agents and would have to use their capspace to sign them. They don't have that capspace unless they can somehow get rid of McBob and Bosh, etc.

I'd go after Deng HARD as well as Whiteside.

A Dame/CJ/Aminu/Deng/Whiteside lineup with a decent bench can win you 55-60 games if healthy.

 

I admit I don't watch Ross play very much, is he dunking in traffic often or something? Crabbe actually dunks quite a bit on fast breaks even though he doesn't get up super high.

 

Ross is 26/26 dunks on the year (regular season and playoffs) while Crabbe was 12/14.

Dame's vertical is on par with Westbrook's but who is the consensus pick for most athletic between the two? Same situation with Crabbe and Ross. Did you see Ross in the dunk contest? He's MUCH more athletic than Crabbe.

 

Jumping isn't a stat though and we're talking about stats here.

 

Maybe?
