Bleacher: Gobert + Royce for Dinwiddie, Allen, LaVert

Levert is interesting as he has a nice contract and show some potential, but than the convo over him should be what level he should be expected to reach

Buddy Hield level ? Tobias Harris level ? CJ McCollum level ? Bradley Beal level ?

In any case, he's still a 1 to 3 guy, not a 4, we for sure can use more athleticism and defense there, but maybe then we'd want to trade Ingles or Bojan (both sf that can play as sg or some pg - more Ingles than Bojan tho - but can't defend as pf) for some real PF.

That being said, the Dinwiddle that played this season could make our defense better, but at 41% fg and 30% from deep, id stick with Clarkson as the 6th man. And i'm not even taking Conley into account

Allen to Gobert is such a downgrade that any comparison should be taken as some sort of real disrespect encouraging him to consider that our fanbase doesn't value him enough when his time to make a fa decision comes

If the salary cap drops by 20% or 25%, then maybe giving Rudy a supermax isn't such a bad thing--assuming the cap is going to increase again in the next few years.

A $35M/year deal could become a $28M/year deal.
 
I think the cap has to drop. Teams aren't making money like they normally would. I can't see a scenario where it even stays the same next year because of everything that has happened
 
My guess is the cap drops and with it, contract amounts also decline inline.

Outside of Giannis, I really can't think of anyone in the association I would give the supermax to. It's just too much money.

Yep. A smaller cap makes a super max that much worse. Let's just say the cap goes down $20 million. That means MLE and other midrange contracts lose a few million each.

If you're a good player in that MLE area, do you take MLE from us at $5-6 million or maybe $2-3 million to play with LeBron or a bigger market? When the money was big and the MLE was reaching $10 million, that's a major boost over the BAE or even the minimum. If the cap tumbles, getting quality depth is going to be that much harder for small markets or noncontenders.

There is only once scenario where I think Gobert deserves the supermax - he carries us very far this summer. Due to Gobert, we go far and actually contend. Outside of that, there is not any scenario where he is worth supermax. If he has another okay playoffs, we gotta trade him especially if he expects super max.

The Kings could beat that package with Bagley included...and no one here has lauded Dinwiddie over the years more than me.. I swore up and down he was a 1st rd pick...
 
The asset you want included in any trade of Gobert is clearly the draft rights to James Wiseman...

so this type of theorycrafting is just too half-baked til the lottery settles..
 
I want Gobert to have a solid postseason but demand a supermax. I want Boston to have a disappointing postseason and feel the need for change.

Gobert for Jaylen Brown is perfect

We save a little money while getting a long term already signed dynamic wing to pair with Donovan. Go sign Favors and another rotation center in the off season. Re-sign Clarkson. Try to move Conley during the summer or by the deadline.

Only way Gobert gets a supermax is if his defense continues to be All-NBA and he put up 25 PPG with 15 boards.

That's not happening, but that's what it would take to get that contract.
 
The only thing I've seen that I'd kind of like would be something with Minnesota, Johnson's expiring/Culver/#3 the base, push for #16 as well. Keep Royce.

Would completely depend on if they were interested in pairing KAT with another big.

If the cap drops 20% or more this summer, then go ahead and give Rudy a supermax contract based on this year's cap. That would be the equivalent of giving Rudy an extension last year at the regular max or slightly below. Problem solved. Maybe make it 4 years instead of 5. Rudy's contract would then be tradable in a year and more valuable for having been extended.
