A. Take on Richard Jeffersons contract from GS and receive their 2014 first round pick (top 3 protected)

B. if LA doesn't sign Dwight, we trade a second round pick for Nash (9m for 2 years) Burke learns from the best active PG.

C. Sign and trade Paul Millsap for P.Gasol and sign Jennings to a 9M and make a run at the depleted West.

D. Sign Millsap to a front loaded contract that drops 7.5% a year( if he doesn't except 6th man role when Kanter is completely ready or he becomes a great trade chip)

E. sign and trade Millsap to Boston and Trey Burke and our 2015 first round pick for Rajon Rondo.

Yes, yes, yes.
No, no, no.
No!
Yes!
Interesting, don't know how I or Danny Ainge feel about thit.
 
I would be most inclined to do A and play our young guys and hope to combine our first and Gs first to move up in the draft next year....

C. Would be fun to watch this year but may not leave many option further down the road!!

E. we could sit Rondo half the year and run our record down so we could still get a good pick next year!!
 
A or D. Nash isn't an option in my mind as the temptation to play him over Burke is too much for Corbin. D and E are trading for broken goods, which is a non-start in my mind.
 
A is great, but I think Pau Gasol has a lot to teach Kanter and Favors. Different lessons than what Malone will bring in. It'd be like learning how to be play from a great two generations ago, to being great a generation ago, and then them taking it all together and being the next great generation of bigs.

And I have to admit, I'm a closet Jennings fan.
 
None of them. I think we can get better value for taking on bad contracts. GS' pick will be in the 20's again. It's going to take more to move up next season, IMO, as there are definite talent tiers. We got lucky this season simply because Minnesota didn't really see much of a difference between #9 and #14. I think we can get a late lottery pick if we take on salary at the deadline. Teams are going to be desperate to cut costs and avoid the punitive tax penalty and "repeater" clause. If not a lottery pick, then at least a good young prospect to go along with a bad salary. Or even a decent established vet, say the 4th best starter on a team.

I'm curious give me some examples!!
 
A or E.

Option E is riskier, and I love Burke, but that would give us a chance of having Rondo and Wiggins/Jabari at the start of the 2014-15 season.
 
E
 
Not to be a stickler, but you can't sign a player to a contract that decreases by 15% a year. Max raises/decreases are 7.5% of the first year salary.

Not from the future, so there's no way to know who will be on the block at the deadline. But there are always teams that expected to do better, but failed and then look to rebuild. Or there might be a Harden-type player that a contender knows cannot be re-signed. Or look at Philly. What if we were in position to get the 7th seed and a team had a Jrue (i.e. all-star) they would give us for the 7th pick and an additional first rounder (which could be bought with cap space). Not all owners are in the position of Prokhorov or the Buss family. Those tax penalties are going to hit hard.

Ya... I tried to remember off the top of my head... So sign Millsap for larger contract with 7.5% decreases!!

I just don't see many teams giving up a 2014 first rounder... I think GS will do it Cuz if they want to sign some guys they desperately need cap relief and they have a good enough team that they just need some good vets to make a decent playoff run!!
 
A is the only one that makes much sense.

Nash probably doesn't want to end his career tutoring Trey Burke.

Boston might do a deal for Rondo, but I'd like to see how Burke does out the gate.

Sap will get offered $12 million/year by someone. You might be able to do a sign-and-trade of Sap to GSW for Jefferson and a pick.

Think more along the lines of sign-and-trade destinations for Millsap--teams that want him, but don't have cap to compete in free agency.
