You're the GM this offseason. What do you do?

Supposedly Kawhi bought a home in Toronto... this would be fantastic news... stay in the east please and thank you.

Good for competition sake but bad because Kemba staying and Kawhi staying means two max guys staying at capped out teams. Means guys like Tobias, Kyrie, Russell, Brogdon, Randle, etc become more in demand.

If Kawhi had gone to the Clippers, Kemba to NY, more cap space would have gone away. So Kawhi staying is good for West strength but makes our chances of adding a top free agent even more difficult.

Why would the Nets trade Dimwiddle for Korver lol, even if it's for cap dump purposes there will be plenty of other teams willing to offer more for Dimwiddie than a guy on the verge of retirement. Orlando instantly comes to mind along with Detroit and Phoenix.

1. Because the Jazz would include a pick
2. Because Korver has one year left on his deal and only partially guaranteed. So his full guarantee salary matches with Dinwiddie then they can waive and stretch at 3 million (1 million per year for the next 3).

Maybe there's a better contract out there they can match on with Dinwiddies salary, but IDK. Every dollar counts if they are trying for 2 max slots.

The salary doesn’t match... Korver only counts as 3.4M unless the remaining amount is guaranteed.

Damn, I forgot that's how it works now.

Tobias ain’t going back to LA... and they didn’t want to pay him the max. Clips and Knicks won’t go for second tier max free agents... they will roll the space forward. Clips can build a super team... we don’t want that.

Crowder for Dinwiddie is close enough I believe... Spencer May have that weird base year issue though... so prolly can’t get moved until after July 1.

Nobody has mentioned the kid Cook from GS! Is he a possible player in the Jazz scheme of things or not?

He’s not good

Korver and a 1st for Dinwiddie still makes sense once the new year begins. NJ would only dump Dinwiddie to open up as much cap space as possible. Korver let's them save $8ish. Crowder only $3ish.

Could we do that AND sign Harris? No, but a Dinwiddie deal still makes a ton of sense for us and them if they are trying to afford Kyrie and near max Russell.

Add Dinwiddie and sign Julius Randle. Now that is a bright present and future.

I'm super confused why we are operating like Nets are just desperate to dump Dinwiddie for nothing. He has plenty of real value.

He definitely does. Brooklyn would only dump him for savings and there aren't that many teams who can absorb him.

But you're right, it's very unlikely.
