- I think Lopez has a 50/50 shot at coming back next year. If he plays like he did 3 years ago, he is a bargain. If he plays like he did the last 2 years, Dell won't pick up the option. I guess I will be optimistic for now.
- I would be shocked if Davis, Gordon, Anderson, Smith, or Rivers were not on the roster at the beginning of next year.
- I want so badly to believe in Aminu, but when I stand back I realize that no objective person could think he is more likely to succeed than fail.
- Warrick and Henry are gone.
So, dream roster.....
Jose Calderon (FA)/ Austin Rivers
Eric Gordon/ Gary Neal (FA)
Wilson Chandler (via trade)/ James McAdoo (draft)/ Darius Miller
Ryan Anderson/Jason Smith/Lance Thomas
Anthony Davis/Robin Lopez
Draft James McAdoo
Trade Al-Farouq Aminu and a Vasquez for Chandler
Sign Gary Neal and Jose Calderon to moderate contract
Still have about 10 mil in cap space to pounce on a great opportunity and that team will make the playoffs. Rivers, Gordon, McAdoo, Anderson, and Davis are all 25 or younger. Build slow while learning to win.
