I have seen countless threads offering trade scenarios, most that are fantastical, threads about the draft, threads about the coaching ideas, etc. I want to know, realistically, what your plan this summer would be if you were GM. I want to see realistic laid out plans, regarding draft, trades, Free agency, resigning players, etc. What would you do as GM? Neil Olshey is pretty much screwed. We will probably see for the most part the same team next season. Hell if we just resign everyone we are going to be in the luxury tax penalty. Is it worth it? I am going to think about it carefully and offer my own detailed plan, as to what I would do. Have at it!
Realistic, eh? I'm not sure s2 posters can handle the truth, but here it is! Re-sign Nurk. Re-sign Davis. Keep Pick. Use MLE or TPE on a 32-year old. Olshey keeps his job, BARELY.
Hmm I know very little about this, But I could have sworn I read from someone who knows here that if we use our TPE and resign then it will hard cap us? Maybe that was within a sign and trade scenario now that I think about it though.
That would put the Blazers into the luxury tax right? The Blazers would have to wait to sign their rookie and resign Nurk and Davis, and use the MLE first right? They'd have to make another trade first to make room in the salary to be able to use the TPE? Then sign the rookie plus Nurk and Davis, thus hard capping them. How do you sort all this out? Who do you draft? Who do you use the mle on? Tpe?
Doing all that would hardcap the blazers. They'd be in the luxury tax big time not to mention they would be lucky to pull it off.
Luxury tax, yes, but not hard cap. And in response to your other post, there would not be any requirement for any of those to be done in any order. All the things Wizard Mentor listed are available to us, regardless of how far over the tax line we are.
