I am not great with the cap, but it looks to me that if we waive all bird rights, don't pick up Favors, Neto and Niang we will have 19,120,132 to a single FA or 20,017,290 to split across two FA. Can anyone confirm this number?
Conley 32,511,623
Rudy 25,008,427
Ingles 11,954,546
Exum 9,600,000

I don't disagree, but at least 6/8 of them should and it's not even close.None of those will make the FO release/trade Favors. At least I don't think so...
Because we have like... 10 players under contract. We need to fill that roster somehow and draft picks are cheap way to do it.Why do people want picks this year so bad? The odds of drafting someone who can help are minuscule to none.
We need bench help. The draft won’t give us that.
Because there will be players taken in the 2nd round this year that end up really solid NBA players. It's a pretty deep draft with medium level talent. There will be players fall to the 40s that were projected in some mocks as early 20s picks. There's a lot of variance there.Why do people want picks this year so bad?

Then why Jazz did better vs Houston with Favors at 5? I love Rudy, don't get me wrong, but he is playing in wrong era.
If they can buy into the late 1st or early 2nd round to get a guy they like the pick that went to Memphis essentially becomes cash considerations.
People keep talking about Conley like he's a 20+ ppg guy. He WAS, and now we have to hope he still will be. However, the dude will be 32 years old when the season starts and has had injuries in his career. His production could drop off quick.
LOL look at the protections on the extra pick...
I was talking about top teams.The Utah Jazz, who also had a point guard that couldn't shoot. That part has been fixed in a big way.
Do I really need to go back and look through and start a list of all the past all-star players whose careers spiraled downward at age 32?He's only one year older than Curry... Is Curry old or not prolific then?
