    As of right out the roster is

    Lillard/McCollum
    Wes/Crabbe/Barton
    Nic/Claver
    LMA/TRob/Freeland
    RoLo/Leonard/Withey

    2 spots left. ~3 to 4 million in cap and a BAE left to spend.

    I'm guessing they'll go after a 3 and D wing with the cap money and a backup PG with the BAE. That puts the roster at a solid 15 players. Something like Delfino and Telfair.

    I still like the idea of Livingston if we want a back up PG. And I wonder what Beno's value is on the market?

    Yeah, we made an offer for Dorell Wright. So did OKC. He's a good offensive player and would be a good pick up for the price.

    For probably the same price there is Corey Brewer. Good defender, but not a good shooter. Hard worker too.

    Both good candidates @ SF, but what about PG? I think we need another PG to start the season.

    I would like to see what CJ can do at the point during summer league because I like the idea of brewer. We can bring in a point guard of CJ struggles

    It wouldn't surprise me if our next move isn't a trade, something out of the blue.

    I don't get offering Dorrell Wright. We're crowded at swingman, but we have no true (backup) PG. Livingston or Billups.

    (Mods - feel free to merge the "$4M in capspace" thread I started...)

    I think Neil wants to see if CJ can play the point.

    How are we crowded? Barton and Crabbe can't play SF. The team also sees Claver as more of a stretch 4.

    Dorell Wright is a very underrated SF. If we got him and a cheap backup PG, I'd consider this off season a success.

    Maybe we'll re-sign JJ?

    I'd be very happy with Corey Brewer, but can Denver afford to let him go? I guess it depends if they re-sign Iggy.

    Claver can certainly play SF, and so can Wes. But you're right - it did say that on the draft "big board", didn't it?

    I've always liked brewer. I would be extremely happy if we got him.

    You think he'll get more than $4M? Who's offering?
