    As in Vuc and Mario for Butler?

     

    Mahinmi

    Ibaka

    Gordon

    Butler

    Payton

     

    Great defensive team, but puts a lot of pressure on Gordon to become Butler's Robin.

    Nah, Mahinmi is a great C off the bench. Will be perfect for when Vucevic has his semi-annual ankle sprains and concussions

    Difference between GM wanting to re-sign him and not wanting to re-sign him. Rob obviously doesn't see him as a 20 mil guy, neither do I. Rather give Ibaka that money or some other free agent next year in that stacked class.

    Oladipo would still make less than Ibaka if both are given their respective max contract situations iirc but I know what you mean. Depends on your value of Serge. In this market, I'd tend to lean towards Oladipo being worth the max, but I also think he was asked to do a lot on a bad team.

    My only "issue" with the deal is the inherent risk that it entails. If Hennigan flops in FA and can't manage to swing another decent sized deal to balance the roster, this could very well blow up in his face. Right now the roster has a lot of question marks and with a bunch of other teams ready to splurge on max contracts in FA, I have my doubts. Hope I'm wrong, of course.

     

    Ibaka 3 years ago would be great, but unfortunately (and oddly) he's shown regression... Over multiple seasons. Can Ibaka turn it around? Sure and Hennigan has shown he can swing deals that are much better than they look on paper.

     

    I don't know, I'm just more confused than anything. Oladipo was a good player who was asked to do a lot more than he should on a bad team and that shouldn't be held against him. Hard to dislike the guy, but people still find a way so whatever. Kinda hope to see Vucevic sent elsewhere, too so Gordon can continue to develop.

    Who do you think Horford wants to play with more, Ibaka or Dipo? Ibaka is a household name. When his numbers Surge (pun) next year, and dipo's split in half--everyone will be happy.

     

    When we kill free agency starting next week--everyone will be happy.

    If you have Ibaka, you probably don't need Horford, FWIW.

     

    I disagree on Oladipo in OKC. I think he'll be great there. Less focus on offense and more on what he should be: defense. His major adjustment will be learning to play off-ball.

    Sign Whiteside

    Trade for J. Butler (Vuc, Pick 16 and Mario if necessary)

    Sign FA PG (Conley)

    Sign and trade Fournier for Gibson

    Resign Smith or Dedmond

    Sign G. Henderson (if we trade Mario)

     

    Conley (25) / Payton (20) / Watson (1)

    Dipo (30) / Mario or Henderson (8) / Watson (10)

    Butler (32) / Mario or Henderson (14) / Gordon (2)

    Gordon (26) / Gibson (15) / Smith (5)

    Wihteside (28) / Smith (10) / Gibson (8)

    Seems realistic.
