All is not lost ...

With Miles we could simply not pick up his option. Would give us close to 4 million to spend. Granted if we get two lottery picks might just use the money to sign them.

That may be the route they choose to take. I doubt it though. I think Raja is the bigger problem and he will also be less willing to stick around for a rebuild. I think they pick up that option and trade or buy out Raja. Either way though I don't think they both return.

For the love of all that is holy...DON'T BRING AK BACK! I am so tired of his act..."I'll play really hard for a couple of weeks, stub my toe and be out for two more". I am tired of his inconsistency, and you can bet your bottom dollar, as soon as he gets his new contract, back to the same old AK.

I know I am in the minority, but I would love to have AK back at somewhere between 5 and 8 million per. I think he is great despite his turnovers. I also think that he will open up his offense a little more now that D-Will is gone.

Clearly, still our best wing. Either though Corbin forgot that last night. We will see what kind of dough he wants.

I want AK back if the money is right.

I am indifferent to AK so I don't care anymore. It has a lot to do with who we draft and if AK is willing to take a substantial pay cut. If I had to choose I am leaning towards not wanting him back.

Me too. And the substantial pay cut in my eyes would have to be a yearly average salary of around $4M, or in other words, the contract that CJ is on right now. He's just too damn sporadic and injury prone to pay more than that.

I think this depends on how we close out the season. If we are able to make the playoffs, we should consider getting AK back to stay competitive next season to continue to develop the young squad.

If we are not making the playoffs this year, we should start clean and let our young wings (Hayward and the two rookies) play. We should be able to turn into a contender again in a few years, if we draft right (that's a big if).

As much as the ending of the Denver game tore my heart out, I realized that sometimes chemistry takes longer for some then others. Denver players seem to have vibed quicker than our guys. Devin Harris looks confused out there and we coughed up the ball way too much out there toward the end. We had that game but Ty lawson drew that phantom foul or else we would have won. Give us time guys, we can still make the playoffs. However, I wish we would have gotten Ronnie Brewer back instead of Raja over the hill Bell !

So you're saying that if not for the phantom foul that Ty Lawson drew, our guys would have vibed quicker than the Denver players? It's odd how fate works.

I think Denver is glad the melo trade finally happened while we were in shock that Deron got dealt. Not to mention we have a new coach.

I do like the effort we have been showing, regardless of the loses.
