You're the GM this offseason. What do you do?

Depends on what options you have and what you give up... if it is primarily salary relief and we haven’t gotten Harris, Kemba, Conley, Russell, Brogdon... then what... I just meant he’s a down the line option... I’d rather Lowry than Dragic.

I’d rather Lowry than Dragic, but let’s face it, we’re not winning it all next year when he’s 34. So we’d be looking at a 35 yo pg after that. For what? Why do it?

So far as options go, Collison, Joseph, Beverley, Caruso, Payton, Satoransky or Wright at the right price at pg. Ditto at pf. Realistically, Payton isn’t too dissimilar from Rubio. Shaky shooter who hovers around 50% TS%, good distributor, solid defender. He’d likely be cheaper than Rubio was too, and he did shoot 37% from three in 44 games a couple years ago which makes me wonder what he could become with our supposed world class coaching staff. Him, Joseph (doubt Pacers wanna spend too much on a backup) or Satoransky (Wiz have a ton of decisions and can’t re-sign them all), not necessarily in that order, make a lot of sense and could be quite realistic and at a reasonable price of under 10M. Add in Caruso too (2/10?) and we’ve really solidified the pg spot imo and upgraded overall.

One of those wouldn't be sexy and I’m sure the lynch mob would be out for Lindsey but that, and an improved and hungrier Gobert and Mitchell (I think both take noticeable leaps) could be enough for 53-56 wins imo.

If we flipped Favors (or opted out of him) for a better Crowder, I think we could be looking at 55-58 wins.

That said, we have a massive uphill battle to make the finals the next 3-4 years. The Dubs, Nuggets, Blazers, and maybe even Rox are formidable. And the Lakers and/or Clips could be.
 
We’re not getting Tobias

It may be true but why is that hilarious?

its not hilarious, it’s sad.

I don’t think we should look a gift horse in the mouth if either of Memphis or Toronto want to do a deal. I think the most likely outcome in free agency is we end up skunked.

Kings have a solid young core too. I don’t know if they have the coaching to match. But as far as talent goes, if the Kings figure things out they’re going to be another player in the west.
 
Let's go get Aussies. Patty Mills, Delly, Ben Simmons, Jonah Bolden, Arron Baynes, Thon Maker, Andrew Bogut, Brock Motum, Issac Humphries. This will keep Jingles and Dante company and provide Rudy and Spidey help. Plus the barbeques will be fun.

I honestly shouldn’t dismiss the Mavs either. It’s a star’s league and if they get one star...with Doncic...and Carlisle.
 
Rockets need to figure out how to get off CP3s money. I wouldn’t put it past Morey tho. I could see him doing the hard thing and moving Capela in a 3 way in order to pull it off.
 
It's win now time. Another stagnant year and 4/5 finish and Rudy is going to be pissed.

Create a max spot, use it, and move #23 for another impact player. LFG.
