Following potential 2015 draftees

I don't know if this is a bluff so his return can be announced at an awards dinner Saturday, or if all the pundants, beginning with Woj, were off base, but Dunn says he has not made up his mind, and "my dreams are within reach". Well, there's last minute, and then there's last minute. Who knows now, but he could end up declaring Sunday night. His comments have put a damper on the elation Providence fans were feeling last night, that's for sure.....

Out of the box idea - #12 for the rights of Dario Saric? Then buy him out and get him over here along with Ante Tomic?

Yes but I don't think that would go well with Philly's tank idea. He is getting playoff experience while they are tanking and I think we would have to include someone or may be OKC pick. I wouldn't mind including OKC pick tbh.

Any of them need cap room that we could take off their hands in the trade?

With the salary cap about to go a mile higher, there may not be a lot of teams needing to dump salary this year. If they are the market would probably put the prices way down.

This works both ways... this is the last year for the next couple years that not every team will have max salary space. the small market teams that are looking to make a free agency splash in the next two years will want to do it this year when there are less teams with space (competition). I could see Sacramento as a potential team that would want to clear some salary... NY maybe with Calderon.
 
Stanley Johnson is supposed to be declaring... thats a big one.
 
I posted this in another thread, but thought it would be appropriate here as well.

Here's some out of the box thinking that just might work. I know we all love Burks, but we don't know how he will fit in this system. He is a good scorer on a reasonable contract. If we knew we could sign Carroll for less, I think he would be a great option. Played for Quinn and loved it, already knows Utah, and great defender. Then trade Burks and #12 to move up to 6-7 range and draft Hezonja.

You get a better defender at probably a lower salary who would fit perfect, and you get your great shooter/scorer Hezonja.

Exum/Hayward/Carroll/Favors/Gobert. Possibly best defensive starting 5 in the league.

Burke/Hezonja/Hood/Booker/Tomic. Lacks a bit of defense, but they will be fine against backups, and have a lot of scoring punch.

Cotton/Milsap/Ingles/Motum (just cause he's australian) to fill in garbage time and for injuries

Which duo would everyone prefer

Burks/Oubre

Burks/Stanley Johnson (giving up 2016 first and 2015 second)

Carroll/Hezonja (Trade Burks/Filler and #12 to move up to 6-7 and sing Carroll as FA)

I get that we probably can't bank on Carroll, as the draft is before FA though.
