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

You’re something else. You’re the one that mentioned Neto and Greyson and Ingles, and a draft pick?! as possible starting PG options - not me. Clearly you weren’t being serious (or were you??) - I hope you weren’t, because that’s just plain dumb. And that’s why I said stop being a clown.

DM as a starting PG? Yes. I’ve always been on that train. Still, that would be a decision - a move - on DL’s part.

So, I’ll say it again... this isn’t like last year where we could just run it all back again... this time DL LITERALLY has to make a move.

Are we done now?

I was being serious when I said that he could start neto and Grayson and the rest. That is a fact. He can.
Your post was saying they should (sarcastically) which I disagree with.

We could run it back. We would make the playoffs again and have a decent shot at homecourt in round 1 and getting in to the 2nd round of the playoffs. That wouldn't be the worst think ever.

I was just pointing out that he doesn't literally have to make a move. He doesn't have to. He should and almost certainly will though.

Carry on.

So it's June 10, and here is my new plan of action:

MOVE #1: trade #23 and Korver to Miami for #13 and Olynyk. Draft the guy we like best between Doumboya, Hachimura and Clarke. I vote Doumboya.

RESULT: this means the end of the Derrick Favors era in Utah. Tough decision, but doing this during the draft is the quick bandaid pull. Olynyk has range, tenacity and could be a great PF/C for us. He's not the club legend Favors is, but he should be an adequate replacement with range who is scheduled to make $6 million less than Favors next season. Even with adding #13 and Olynyk, we still have near max cap space available.

MOVE #2: try to sign Tobias. If he agrees to come here (I personally don't think he will), we are a few minor moves (waive Niang, waive Neto, etc.) away from getting him his $32.7 max deal. If not Tobias, try to sign Kemba. If not Kemba, try to sign Russell. We can sign Russell without having to make any additional moves.

RESULT: I think we have a great shot of getting Russell. If he becomes an unrestricted free agent because the Nets renounce him, not many teams are lining up to give him a max. If we do, and Mitchell is part of the in person sales pitch, I think we got him. If we don't get Russell...

MOVE #3: sign Beverley. Or Rozier. Or trade for Conley. Get the best PG we can get our hands on.

RESULT: we get a SF/PF with potential who fits the long term goals of the franchise. Whether it's Hach, Doum or Clarke, I think we get a great player who is locked up for the long term. I'm also very high on Olynyk as a fit here. Ideally, we get Russell and we are set at PG for a long time. If we don't, at least we leave this summer with that good young player at SF/PF. And the last time we drafted somebody at #13, we did pretty well...

When I listened to his pod I thought "I'll bet @infection wouldn't love this". A lot of "value based" talk. Just gave me the impression he may not pivot to second tier guys if we miss on the Tobias, Dlo types... like they are overly concerned with getting value and FA isn't a place you find a lot of value contracts unless it is guys like Royce... generally you are overpaying for the production you will get.

I kind of took that to mean you wouldn't offer the max to a guy like Tobias. Of course, you could argue that this is the kind of thing he has to say publicly, but his track record is consistent with current narrative. So I guess we'll just look forward to "more bites at the apple."
 
You’re wrong. Those are still MOVES - they are still decisions that need to be made. What don’t you get about that? Who will be the starting PG? That question needs to be addressed. So yes, it will be a move.

Get it?

Now you carry on.
 
Also, for all the "value-based" discussion, we're going to have Favors and Exum occupying $30M of the cap.

Nah he’s reasonable. I think he wants pieces that make sense around Rudy and DM. He loved Niko... I think he’s actually going to be appropriately valued in FA now and it’d be a good time to get him if other better players don’t work out.
