    I would do that to keep Rivers though with how prices are in FA

    That is how it is gonna be done. Renounce Bird Rights to everyone but Ely and Babbitt. Take in other non-guaranteed contracts into cap space. Trade them all for Asik. All we have left is Room Exception, but so what? We kept all the good pieces and got Asik

    Any way we can make it work and keep our MLE and BAE?

    The choices are:

    Rivers and Room Exception

    or

    No Rivers, but MLE and BAE

    I take Rivers and room every time

    No. Not once you use cap space. But really - who do we wanna keep the MLE for? To overpay somebody who we just want off our cap next summer?

    I guess I just don't value Rivers that much.

    Okay. But who left in this FA class do you value so much more that you want to hand them 5 mil per year?

    We could set it up so we won't be using cap space at all, right?

    I'd rather lose Rivers and sign one of the following:

    Evan Turner
    Marvin Williams
    Francisco Garcia
    Chris Douglas-Roberts

    I don't think so. We have to absorb Gee somehow, either with cap space (losing exceptions) or sending out salary, right?

    You can split up the MLE.

    And I see a lot of people saying that if Hopson is included and all of the non-guaranteed players go to Houston and not us at all, then we could retain our MLE. I guess we will see.

    I hope this is the case

    You could IF you traded Rivers to get Gee and Hobson. Otherwise, how would you get them? It's either Rivers or Hobson. Which is why I said:

    Rivers and Room Exception

    OR

    No Rivers, MLE, BAE

    Room and BAE basically cancel each other out. So, Rivers or MLE?

    With the market and the guys left, I take Rivers, get a stop gap and wait to next year

    CDR and Garcia you can get for the Room.

    Turner would be a really bad fit on this roster. And Marvin will command at least the full MLE for 3-4 years. You want to commit to him or wait until 2015 for the long term SF?

    That's the part I'm not sure about.

    But you can probably keep Rivers, and still sign Garcia or CDR. Neither of those guys is worth MLE.

    But I think you probably just make this a 3 way trade with Rockets and Cavs, and keep all exemptions and Rivers. Don't see how this is an either/or situation.
