Summer 2019 Roster Discussion

LoPo said:
As of today, I think the play this summer will be to decline on Favors then re-sign him to a long term deal making around $10 per year. Then let Rubio go while picking up Neto's option. This gives us roughly $20 million to play with.

Of course we could try to sign someone making more than $20, but I just don't think we can realistically expect anybody that big to have interest in signing with us over other options.

So the game becomes, how can we best use $20 million in cap?

If we release Favors and the Clippers do not snap him up at his current contract value, they are the biggest morons in the NBA. He would fit so well on that team.

They can still pay the bill if they want, but I'd take it as a positive for us, they'll still have Middleton/Brogdon/Lopez/Mirotic all as free agents with ~30M in cap, they're going to have to go way way over to bring them all back.

His salary for next year is going to be less than what his cap hold would have been if he went to FA, it's a win for the Bucks and nothing has really changed
 
We'll end up paying 20 for favors this summer.
 
Might end up paying that for Rubio too.
 

But at this point we might just have to settle for Sato. The perfect backup plan in case Brogdon resigns with the Bucks. Has rich experience of partnering up with a ball-dominant, undersized SG too. Better fit than Rubio for sure.

Favors has another year on his contract and the Jazz have a team option.

Then we will end up exercising the option, signing Rubio, and then resigning favors for 20 next year. DL is nothing if not conservative and predictable. Same reason they won't let Exum go, they value "potential" and "financial flexibility" over performance and actually signing New players. Reminds me of a friend of mine who gets purchase anxiety because he's afraid once he buys something he'll find something better, so he never pulls the trigger.

Bingo.

The way I’ve always put it is that we’ve purchased a few lottery tickets for $2 a pop. We step outside the gas station and someone offers $100 for those lottery tickets and we laugh, thinking, “dude, these tickets could possibly be worth millions and you want me to give them up for $100?”

However, DL is in a position where he’s kicked every can down the dead-end road of 2019 free agency, and if free agency opens and nobody is biting, a first and a second for Kevin Love is our panic move.

Love has looked really good since he came back

We could be very good with him for two years and I’d be excited about the prospect of how good he could look with us, but that contract could kill us. I’m talking myself into it because it’s the predictable move and I’m going to PGAB TF out of this forum when it goes down (especially when I’m right about giving up a first and second for him).

I just want to see the offense with a bona fide shooting 4
 
This Bledsoe deal makes me think it's more likely they keep Brogdon. With Bledsoe on board, now they have Brogdon, Lopez, Middleton, and Mirotic to keep. In my opinion, Middleton is priority #1 with Brogdon #2. Since they have Brogdon's RFA rights, they aren't letting him go.

If this is an indication of the market, Brogdon should be available for less that $20M/yr.

Rubio's next contract will be $8-12M/yr.

I wouldn’t read anything into the market with this.

Bledsoe is making a smart move and potentially taking a bit less to stay on contending team and not having to play the free agency game.

Smart for both player and team but not indicative of where the market is, IMO.

This team needs an upgrade offensively and everyone is aware of it. The reality is no one can beat this GSW team of 5 all-stars and a mistake now would ruin everything. Also a small market club usually is forced to overpay players so every cent counts.

I don't think patience and frugality should be confused with other things especially when they make sense.

DL is bold enough. Utah's stars Gobert and DM have been acquired with the triggers he pulled, not to mention Coach Q.
