How much would you offer Malcolm Brogdon this summer?

You can’t use non-guaranteed contracts, though, unless you guarantee them. We ran into that issue last year with Jonas, Thabo, and Udoh.

I guess we could guarantee Favors then trade him for a bad contract and the other team's pick. I just don't see us doing that to Favors.

I think what would be more likely is waiting out the first few days of free agency, striking out, then waiving contracts and letting guys be free agents if/when we trade for Kevin Love.
 
I think our "free agent" targets will be guys that are straight salary dumps like Love or Gallinari.

I think your timeline is probably correct. We will secure our 11 man roster (Rudy, Joe, Ex, Jae, KK, DM, TB, Royce, Niang, Grayson and the pick) then try to strike it big in free agency.

If we succeed in a verbal commitment, bye bye Favors and maybe even Rubio too. If we fail, we will also try to trade prior to having to make a decision on Favors or renounce Rubio.

We’ll be trading a 2020 first rounder and 2022 second rounder for Kevin Love.

That would be a huge overpay and a monster mistake. I don’t think we will bring in Love. He may have the worst contract in basketball. Nic batum is bad but at least he’s on the court... Parsons is bad but next year is his last year. 4/120 starting next year is at like twice what I’d pay in free agency if it were up to me.

Nah. At this point we painted ourselves into a corner and sure as hell better get a meeting or two with free agents before settling on a salary dump. I think we can get 80-90% of the benefit of a stretch 4 by playing Crowder and Royce there. If you can get Harris or Middleton they bring stretch plus creation. Gallo does too but the defense and durability are a problem and he isn’t on the right timeline. I think they may end up keeping him.

Love doesn’t bring the creation I’d want. Obviously a superior player to Royce and Jae... health, age, defense, contract... all are issues. I’d rather get a perimeter guy with more creation and shooting and just use Jae and Royce at 4.

I’m not saying it’s something I want, just what I think is most likely. Again, when there was all this talk last summer about traded deadline flexibility, people would have laughed if it was suggested we’d trade that all in for Conley (lols DL gonna do way better than that, manz!).

You might be right... I am hoping we do better. I’d rather get a third tier FA at the wing or guard spot and use any remaining space on a high upside flyer (like Jabari if his current good play continues).

I don’t get why some talk about Loves contract like it’s tradeable... anything is tradeable but like that’s a deal that would require assets to move it... if the guys name wasn’t Kevin Love and you just looked at numbers, age, games played, etc. Conley might be similar but at least he is healthy and playing and his deal is only 2 years not 4.

If all the patience ends in trading for Love then DL better pray dude finds a serious second wind.
 
90% of the board is going to hate this, but I'd rather resign Rodney Hood for $10 million per year than max Brogdon. I'd love to see Rodney come back if he'd accept the role he was in last season, primary scorer off the bench. I think he really thrived in that role and he'd make this team better if we strike out on all the other guys.

I still have a soft spot in my heart for him... DL definitely left the door open to him coming back.
