We desperately need a home run in this draft... whether that comes by hitting the lotto and jumping into the top 4 or having one of the three picks be awesome immediately. I think we have a decent chance at making it happen.

With the assets we have a stand-up triple will be impactful. We can use remaining assets to add the walk-off HR.
 
One idea with our cap space this year is we could go acquire a guy like OG Anunoby or Dejounte Murray and do a renegotiate and extend deal. This is what Myles Turner did with the Pacers recently. You'd have to wait until the season started but hopefully could agree near the time of the trade. The way this works is you give OG or Dejounte (both making about 18M a year) a deal all the way up to the max using you excess cap space. So they go up to 40M for next year and then you can decline the contract by as much as 40%. So for OG it would be $40 next year and then say an average of $30M over the next 3 years and make it decline so its like 32/29/27... equals out to a 3 year 120M extension for him and our cap hit is $10M+ in the years that matter most. We can do the same thing with Lauri in a year but it likely would be a straight max instead of a declining value deal.

I'd rather have Cam at 25 than Grant at 20... if it was structured like Keldon's deal - starts at 20M and goes down 1M per year for four years... then I guess I would be fine with it. Its a deal you could move and looks good in 2 years when the cap is 50% higher. He's an easy guy to fit so it would have some trade value as long as he's healthy.

I think I would rather have Grant Williams at 20. I just love the way he plays. However, it does complicate things if we get Black or Wallace as a PG. With either one of those PGs and Williams, we would obviously need another superstar scorer with Lauri. Follow in the Celtics mold.

I think he is helpful against bigger wings but struggles with guards a bit. Cam is likely less helpful on defense but a better offensive player. We can likely find guys that play more with the ball in their hand to compliment Lauri/Kessler if we landed Black or Wallace (I worry more about Wallace). I think Black will be a wonderful connector and his size will work better in nba space.

Grant seems to be a smart dude and is about the right types of things. Lots of playoff experience for a young vet too.

We should have a bunch of options available to us.

Since Atlanta couldn't find a deal for Collins, does anybody think they would get desperate enough to sell Hunter in order to avoid the tax? (Someone please validate my crazy idea)

If they value AJ Griffin I could see it, they could recoup some of the draft capital they gave up for Murray

I think this is really interesting and something that should be considered.

WHY DOES THIS POST HAVE JUST 1 LIKE?!?

If that is within the rules and either guy would be possible to snag, that would be an awesome move.

Probably the best idea Ive seen on how to use the cap (except trading for another star if the right guy is available).

With OG I am not 100% sure it is possible. It has to be three years from the date they signed the contract... which would work. I am not if the contract kicking in a year later matters in his case since it was an extension... Murray and Lauri would be eligible when I stated though.

I dont think either are worth that though myself. maybe this front office would but doubtful.
aside from whatever the draft solves , we could go after Lonnie Walker or maybe try to force the Celtics to overpay to keep GWill
I would guess Danny might look at BOL as a nice target as well.
