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

This team is going to be successively less successful every offseason they piss away and you can quote me on that.

See our last three years of the Boozer era.

It's because we get too comfortable with what we have and too skeptical about what we don't have.

We gotta do something.

I can't find anything about Lavine being available. I've always really liked him though and thought he was underrated. Unfortunately even if he was available we likely don't have the assets to trade for him.

K but you keep suggesting that keeping Favors is in some fantasy scenario both plausible and a good idea. You also keep suggesting we not give up on a guy that’s been in the league for 5 years and done ****ing nothing except take up a roster spot and a bunch of salary.

I think we could use our space more responsibly on 3rd or 4th tier free agents and be a lot better off.

I did qualify getting Love as a last option, mainly because it allows us to also use the full mid-level on someone like Beverly. Beverly plus a healthy Love moves the needle. Heathy Love is a big question mark though. . .

Heathy Love sounds kind of erotic.

Not sure how you are structuring that... sending a guaranteed like Favs and Korver? If we are taking him into cap space then we don't get to use MLE.

My issue with Love is similar to my issues with Bjelica… can be played off the floor and doesn't create... except he makes $30M instead of $7M. I honestly think I'd rather have Rudy Gay at the 4 in a playoff series over Love regardless of cost. So if I can get the better option on a cheaper and shorter contract I'm going that route.

Honestly Love and Beverly might be the best we can do. It seems very unlikely we're going to get Tobias, Kemba or Russell and our assets are s*** so we're probably not going to get anyone better than Love through a trade. It's definitely not ideal but we might not have any other options besides running it back with this same team year after year.

And where is Favors in our tough playoff series? Where is Exum?

Favs still plays (maybe the same amount of minutes as Bjelica)… we all know where Exum is... he ded.

Word on the street is they want an asset for Love... which is bananas. He is bad money now and will be worse every year.

I'm telling yall if we split our cap space between Bev and Rudy Gay we'd be really effing good... would also allow us to get in on trade conversations if someone has buyers remorse on Tobias, DLo, or if Kemba is retained on supermax and Hornets look to pivot. Or if Conley trade doesn't happen in the offseason and they then want to complete in season.

Love doesn't address the creation need and is not great defensively. Bev gives us some shooting and defense, but he's not creating anything. Perimeter creation is as big a need as shooting... maybe more. It just makes no sense to go after Love.

I've said we shouldn't pick up Favors' $18 million expiring deal, but keep Favors long term if we don't get a big fish. I also think we should keep Exum instead of trading him for negative value. Using #23 and Exum to trade back 17 spots to get Bjelica isn't worth it to me.
