Patrick Beverley Available

[NAOS]

Tony Jones indicated that this doesn't mean we wouldn't re-sign Hill. It makes sense because both guys can guard 2s.

I think he is the only established guy we can get that wouldn't make it a forgone conclusion that Hill is gone. If Hayward left and we wanted to tank we could send Beverly to many teams (12 called) and get the equivalent of the OKC pick back. It's a great move for us.

I do think it is the OKC pick they would want because I don't think they'd want the cap hold this year. Second round picks have different cap holds iirc... so maybe they want #42.

Second rounders are really valuable supposedly this year.

HH still got this place on lockdown.

lol. How so? It's an interesting team at least.

I don't trust Love going into his 30s is the same player he was in Minny and I don't trust Beverley or Ingles to create enough offense from the perimeter.

I think you are right... and I think it will be a huge mistake. We might even make the playoffs with our patchwork of a roster à la Portland last year and delude ourselves that we are going somewhere even without the lost FA star and then lose a couple more years trying to chase ghosts.

Yes and the impatient fan base will be blamed, because "we can't tank in this market". Our fan base could and would endure a tank if done right, but I think you'd have to trade Rudy and that makes my heart sad.

We won't tank... It won't work... take it off the table... that is why losing Hayward sucks is it will lead to the treadmill.

Anyway you look at it, we are most likely on a treadmill. Everyone who isnt named GSW is.

Without Hayward, I think we're still a playoff team.

Not if you have to let other players go in order to fit him under the luxury tax.

Not a concern, and he could always be flipped at the deadline if it was.

I'd trade 24 or 30 for him in a heartbeat.

I think you can do it with Rudy on the roster... but he will have to be in on it. He will have to know we are not fighting for anything but losses this year and you have to assure him it's going to be just this one year. You'd be surprised just how many games we can lose with 4 rookies+Bolomboy getting 20+ minutes of play and Dante having free go at the offense and turning it over on 25% of his possessions.

Yep

You can't. Nobody can guarantee a one year turn around. Even if you have a ton of picks/assets, there's no way to know if the right trade will come around.
