2017 Official Offseason Thread

Wing is set, Afflalo or Allen would only cut into minutes that are already tight.

 

Think we sit for a bit after Speights and wait for the remaining RFA chips to fall while gauging the trade market.

 

yeah.

 

if we're counting speights as our "emergency big four" then we could use another 3-4. a 2-3 doesn't really make sense with Fournier, ross, simmons, iwundu, probably Mario a bit, and Shelvin mack in a pinch all able to play 2.

I'd guess Birch is still the last guy. Read the other day they are still working on his buyout.

Bismack Biyombo 17,000,000

Evan Fournier 17,000,000

Nikola Vucevic 12,250,000

Terrence Ross 10,500,000

DJ Augustin 7,250,000

Jonathon Simmons 6,300,000

Shelvin Mack 6,000,000

Aaron Gordon 5,504,419

Jonathan Isaac 4,186,320

Mario Hezonja 4,078,320

Elfrid Payton 3,332,340

Patricio Garino 1,312,611

Marcus Georges-Hunt 1,312,611

CJ Watson 1,000,000

 

Total: 97,026,621

Cap: 98,750,927

 

Remaining: $1,724,306

 

So someone explain this to me, if we waive/cut Georges-Hunt and Garino, does that 2.6 mil and change free up?

Then we would have around 4.3 mil to spend on free agents if we choose?

 

The money side of things always confuses me, just trying to get a better grip on how much we have to spend.

 

The fact that Biyombo is our highest paid player (along with Fournier) is concerning at best.

eh, it's been so long with no noise I'm starting to doubt it.

I wonder what our rotation will be and if Mario will get any burn.

I don't see how we can't make a trade. They've got to have something cooking or else our team makes no sense.

 

Afflalo just got off starting 45 games for sacramento. he's not coming here to be 12th man.

simmons is due minutes. I don't know how many, but some.

Fournier and ross are pretty much locked in to 60.

 

those 4 should lock up sg/sf minutes with somebody being underplayed.

 

so that leaves Isaac to PF backup scraps. less if speights plays a few minutes there.

Not sure we go with the same starting unit that earned us a high lottery pick last year. I would guess Simmons has the best chance to breakout this year.
