Official: you be the GM (what would you do)

Any trade for Hibbert is going to be horrible for Indy. The guy is making 13 million next season. He needs out of that city. They have some serious fucking chemistry issues. If they're going to trade him, it's going to be a shitty trade for them.

I don't think Barton would be the starter necessarily, but without another move, the guards on the team are Barton, CJ, and Crabbe.

 

Would love to get Pierce. He'd be like our Scottie Pippen.

 

Draft: Buy a first or second round pick if you can.

Free Agency: Tough to say. Not a lot of guys on this list that I think would be realistic given our cap situation.

Trades: Unless you know who is being shopped or who teams are willing to part with, it's impossible to name names, but the profile in my head is a more dynamic 2 guard than Wesley; a guy who can actually dribble a little bit, more athletic and better on defense. If you can keep Wes around to come off the bench that's awesome, but I'm guessing he'd be one of those few assets that another team might actually covet.

 

Trade for Frye. Hope Mo opts in. Sign Paul pierce.

 

Don't bring in a single player unless they are defensive minded

 

I thought Batum was?

 

If Mo opts out go for nate Robinson.

Also, would love to go after ariza if pierce says no

 

When Peirce was playing for Boston I remember him making a comment about only wanting to play on the east coast.

 

Speaking of ariza, could you imagine our wing rotations with him? Good lord. Length and d everywhere. Having batumand ariza in at the same time could give teams fits

 

If you bring in Ariza, you're going to be moving Wes. I don't see Ariza coming off the bench.

 

Ariza is a starting SF on a good and underrated team. Quit dreaming.

 

We’ve got a solid core, so I don’t think we need to swing for the fences or take big risks this offseason.

Keep the starting 5 intact. Extend Aldridge.

All of the bench is expendable.
My keepers: Robinson, Freeland, Barton, and McCollum.
First option as trade/filler: Wright, Leonard, Claver, Crabbe
Gone: Williams, Watson

Assets:
Approx. 5 mil MLE
Approx. 2.5 mini-MLE

First priority is to pick up a backup point guard.
Top targets: Farmar & Brooks (both good a/t ratios and shot 38%+ from 3 last year)

Next priority is to pick up a backup big.
Top targets: Jordan Hill and Jeff Adrien (both young with solid rebounding numbers)

I would use Wright, Leonard, Claver and/or Crabbe as assets to acquire a late 1st (unlikely) or 2nd round pick.
Top targets:
- Jordan Adams, SG, UCLA (projected late 1st round. Probably out of our range)
- Jarnell Stokes, PF, Tennessee (projected mid 2nd round). Solid rebounder.
- DeAndre Kane, SG, Iowa St. (projected late 2nd round). Well balanced pts/ast/reb.

Nothing flashy, but then last summer wasn’t flashy and look where it got us.

 

To create cap room you have to renounce exceptions and mles. We won't have cap room, just a mle and a lle. But we can trade first rounders after July 1

 

Pierce would not accept $5 mil. I just don't see it.

If Olshey could pull that off, he better get GM of the year next season.

 

I do think that he would do a sign and trade with us. I just don't see anyone on our team they would really want unless it is one of our starters. I'm not down with that! Hahaha

 

I did my math wrong, so it's not actually $5 million

But I think he would accept that. I think the best he's going to get is MLE money. He's not a star anymore. He wants to play for a contender and I don't think he's staying in Brooklyn.

 

Then we better get Garnett too... Those 2 have some sort of bromance and won't go unless the other goes with them.

 

Garnett is done. He needs to retire.

 

Not your decision

 

Wrong! I'm calling KG right now to tell him to clean out his shit. He's done!
