jrjr1229 9 Report post Posted July 3, 2016 They aren't being paid what Biyombo is, and honestly I can't see him choosing us if he wasn't told he'd be the starter. I know money talks, but we aren't the only team with money trying to sign guys. I honestly think he chose us because of a nice paycheck, he was told he'd start and because he'd play with Ibaka a fellow countryman. Did you know that biyombo is friends with ibaka and Fournier? This is a great team environment with good teammates Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fultz4thewin 2,464 Report post Posted July 3, 2016 Fournier/Hezonja AG/Green Ibaka/AG 96 minutes at pf/c Ibaka gets 33, Vucevic gets 29, Biyombo gets 26. That leaves 8 for Gordon. 96 minutes at sg/sf. Fournier gets 32. Gordon gets 24. That leaves 40 for Mario, green, Meeks, any two point lineups that happen on occasion.

jrjr1229 9 Report post Posted July 3, 2016 I don't think biyombo starts. But I think he's getting 30 mpg And Vucevic has to be traded. Otherwise Hezonja and Jeff green don't play Vuc doesn't need to be traded three men rotation can get you 32avg min per guy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nyce_1 311 Report post Posted July 3, 2016 So ok, it's 12:45am and in doing this off the top of my head. Numbers are not going to be exact. Ibaka 17.7 million cap hold Biyombo 18 Fournier 15.8 Vucevic 12.3 Augustin 7.1 Gordon 5.5 Hezonja 4.1 Payton 3.3 That's 83.8 million Cap of 110 26.2 in cap space. We'd need to shed 5 million to get to a max contract of the 7-9 year variety, 10 million to get to the 10+ max thanks. trade Augustin for cap space and sign Westbrook.

jrjr1229 9 Report post Posted July 3, 2016 Hezonja needs to fight min against Meeks like I said Vogel needs to use Meeks situational only and give dj 20 min per game rest goes to hezonja and green Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fultz4thewin 2,464 Report post Posted July 3, 2016 Vuc doesn't need to be traded three men rotation can get you 32avg min per guy Which means Gordon plays no 4 Which means Gordon gets all his minutes at 3 Which means there's a limited amount of minutes available. We literally had this same discussion last offseason. And during the season we had to remove Harris in order for Gordon to get consistent minutes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
