What would you do?

If the cap is going up, we should sign important pieces this year as they'll be paid under market value when the cap goes up.

That's assuming those "important pieces" undervalue themselves and don't care about the fact that waiting one year would equal a bigger paycheck... Not likely.

We should really be hoping to for the most part keep this core in tact, and make savvy (only improve without getting much older) trades and signings, and then trust Masai and his coaching staff to hit some home runs in the draft. Is it Bruno? Is it the NYK/Den pick? Either way, I know there's one coming soon enough, and by that time Val will probably be in his mid 20's averaging 19 and 12. Derozan will be in his late 20's, a solid and savvy 20 ppg guy, and Lowry will be in his early 30's and a solid, savvy Chauncey Billups type leader. 2Pat will be one of the best 3 point shooting power forwards in basketball.

The point is, this team has a lot of years left in it's key players, so just keep strategically building and the home run will come. Whether draft or trade, I don't see it in free agency though. You can still find key pieces there but I don't see any stars coming unless we draft or trade them. Just the way it is.

Ross+Amir+Hans+Nogueira+NYK pick for Ibaka.

Ross+ Amir + Bebe+ Hansborough+ tor 2016 1st round pick = Ibaka+ Mitch McGarry

I'd love Ibaka too but there's zero reason for the Thunder to trade him, let alone for these deals.

The Thunder aren't trading Ibaka, period, unless his production absolutely craters. He's one of the best power forwards in the league and the Thunder's window is threatening to close as Durant and Westbrook will have the opportunities to consider other suitors.

it's not so much about undervalueing all the time for example: Say Love signs a 1 year deal waiting for the cap to jump and Tonya Harding bashes his knees in with a pipe so she can play for Cavs. Sometimes you sacrfice dollars for security

[Joey]

Raptors should at least attempt to see if there is something to salvage when Bargnani is a free agent. Casey is a terrible coach and AB might just have been a victim. A 1-2 year deal like Ed Davis might work for both sides. If AB is willing and a new coach is brought in.

This post is lifetime ban worthy.

Masai should be doing everything in his power to obtain a restraining order against Bargnani.

Its being discussed Nilanka. Shame on you 999.

[Joey]

Patterson will for sure need to be included if we hope to really improve our Bigs.
Can't imagine Amir has much trade value at this point.

Haha this is so fucked up

Offer Draymond Green max contract in the offseason. This team needs a SF badly, should be their MAIN priorioriy in the offseason.

If we can't get Green, how about McDaniels? or trade for Harrison Barnes.

Don't forget Carroll, Rex. UFA, 29 years old, 3 & D guy? Who wouldn't want him?

Green and Barnes both play for Golden State, who are damn well going to find a way to keep both if they can manage it. Their owner has already made it clear he doesn't mind paying the tax for a season or two to get to the bridging point when the cap extensions start hitting. The Warriors will trade David Lee before they trade Green or Barnes.

McDaniels has potential, but it's important to note that he's getting a lot of time playing for a bad team and that only magnifies his strengths and obscures his weaknesses.

LMAO I wish there was some way to like posts on the Tapatalk app.

There's a chance GSW matches an offer on Green, but I throw the max at him and find out. I agree there is no way they trade Barnes - he's cheap and plays a major role, which is very nice for a team close to the tax.
