All this means to me is that Dell should have one guy at the top of his 2015 FA list:
Draymond Green
Warriors will be near the lux tax, so throw the full MLE at him or find a taker for Gordon and throw more at him if you need to. He is a perfect fit for what we need.

Geez what a terrible deal.
Emeka Okafor - Joe Smith - Carmelo Anthony - Manu Ginobili - Jason Williams
Al Jefferson - James Posey - Aaron McKie - Shaun Livingston
If last season was any indication, the Warriors have chosen Green over Barnes.

Can they afford either though?
They have to either match Green or extend Barnes as they both expire at different years.
If GS don't dump salary in 2015 by trades what could the Pelicans afford to offer if ONLY the big 6 are contracted in 2015?
What could be offered if Gordon opts out?
Thanks
If Gordon doesn't opt out and the cap isn't smoothed, we can offer the MLE. If Gordon opts out, we have close to 20 mil to play with. Sky would be the limit.
No - we would have close to 20 mil in cap room and that INCLUDES the Asik cap hold - again if Gordon opts out. If we were to stretch Gordon, it would be close to 15 mil with Asik hold on the books. But I doubt we would do that because it would carry money into future summers which could effect our chances to go after another superstar (if AD can recruit one)
That is what I wonder about - If we could get a guy like Jimmy Butler, but it forfeits the small chance to get someone like Durant, would we do it? Or is Dell's plan to take a home run swing in 2016 or 2017?
I don't know if Batum is a star. I mean, do you pass on a guarantee from a guy like Butler for a chance at Batum? I wouldn't.
I am talking star. Would you hold off on a serious upgrade (but not a star) for the chance to go after Durant, Curry, etc. in future years?
Man a Curry-Jrue-Evans-Davis-Asik Lineup would be mind blowing!
That's tough to answer.
If Durant and Davis are friendly then yeah I would hold out, especially if Gordon opts in.
If I can't get a guy like D. Green then I would take my chances in 2016.
Not sure if Butler is worth the max with his slight injury history.
Ask me at the end of the season.
