2021 Free Agency

I honestly did not know Miller made it back into the league after tearing his achilles, good for him. Not sure I believe in his 200 minutes though. I'd probably prefer to Hinkie special a guy from Europe or younger player. I'd have to watch him play defense.

We are like 500K away from the apron with Conley at 18.5M and Butler.

If we wanted to get someone via sign-and-trade we would have to move Bogey/Ingles/Clarkson and take back basically equivalent or less salary than whoever we send out. Then we wouldn’t be able to use the MLE.

We would have to take back much less salary because we would still need to fill out the rest of the roster.

Would waiting to sign Conley until the two exceptions are used be doable with the apron?

That wouldn’t make a difference. However, we can use the trade exceptions at any time, with or without Conley’s contract, as long as the player(s) we take back are already under contract. We’re allowed to go over the apron as long as it isn’t a sign and trade.

He never left but was traded to OKC. You don't have to believe in 200 minutes... he has a lot of years of nba service. I don't believe the steal rate but the shooting is totally believable.

He's played 200 in the last two years. Achilles is a serious injury and most players don't make it all the way back, so I don't feel great about falling back on his years of service. I have an ongoing gripe with labeling every 6'6 guy 3&D and Miller was someone I didn't think fit the defense part. It was a long time ago, so maybe I was thinking about Hill or another random wing from that team. Still, I'd like to watch him play defense and see how he's moving.

Yup... took one year off though. His defense is just okay iirc. He's more 3 than D. He was a 6-7M player when healthy... getting him at the minimum is a bargain imo.

I did go back and watch his video from this year. Actually was doing stuff off motion and off the dribble I didn't remember. He looked just great. Maybe they are figuring out the achilles... cuz KD came back like a MFer.

KD is a different MFer lol.

It’s not a terrible idea in theory… you would know better than me since you watched him.

I may be unfairly remembering Miller. I thought the Pelicans with Jrue+AD should have been a great team but their wings were complete ***. So I have a bitterness against all those wings but maybe Miller was actually just fine.

He is 31 though so I’d prefer to bet on someone like Nader or a Nigel Hayes instead. I’d give Oni/Morgan another shot over him as well.

Roster spots are going to be tight if we use the MLE and max Niang like I hope.

NBA Rumors: Victor Oladipo Ready To Take Minimum Contract To Join The Lakers

He’s broken… ain’t scared of the Lakers… the addition of Westbrook was so bad… I’m more scared of they get Patty Mills, Wayne Ellington, JJ Reddick, etc. they have no shooters.

I'm not scared of them either, but I could be in a hurry if they added the right people. Guys like Danny Green and the others you listed and the ones I listed this morning are still out there.

And although Westbrook and LeBron don't look like a great pairing at the end of a 4th quarter of a playoff game, it would be damn hard to defend 48 minutes a game of either Westbrook or LeBron along with AD.
