Here is the lineup I would try to obtain.
1. Trade E. Moore, QPon, and lottery protected 2018 1st round pick for either Jeremy Lin or Eric Bledsoe
2. Sign Nick Young with MLE. Sign Ty Lawson with BAE.
Lineup:
PG: (Lin or Bledsoe)/Lawson/Cook
SG: Holiday/Crawford/Jackson
SF: Hill (could also play PF with the 2nd unit)/Young
PF: Davis/Diallo
C: Cousins/Ajinca/Asik
I'd love to see a scenario like us trading for Fournier and signing Collison with the MLE.
Or trading for Bledsoe and signing Nick Young with the MLE.
I dont know which scenario I'd prefer, but either would have me excited as hell.

I love that #1 option. Great googly moogly. Although I think Bledsoe played a lot at the 2 if I'm not mistaken? Not actually sure on it
MM thinks adding Lin makes us a top 4th seed in the freaking West. Does anyone sees this as well? I don't get the Lin hype. Bledsoe has injury scares, but I'll roll the dice on him.

I think Lin fits rather nicely, but I can't imagine his impact would be as significant as MM is projecting. I would love the opportunity to find out and be proven wrong.Originally Posted by Silverfoxx
I would be ecstatic about scenario 1, and Bledsoe in scenario 2.
"I'm not going to allow my putative owner to answer that question, this is an NBA related press conference. Paul Tagliabue and Roger Goodell have collectively sung their praises of Tom and if uh ESPN has a problem with that tell Mr. Skipper to call me at my office."
As for now we are 6-7 south of the tax line. Without Dante's cap hold. (assuming that Jackson gets 1,1, and roster spots counts as 0,8).
By declining Toupane and Cook you might create additional ~million.
You can go over the tax for full season - the most important is to finish season below tax (if this is a goal).
So in order to use full MLE, full BAE and extend Dante you will need to create room. maybe even 10 millions. not to mention veterens exception worth up to 1,7-2 millions...
Because of this I expect at least buyout and stretch for Asik and bigger trade.
My expectation:
Package Moore, QPon, Ajinca and pick for Guard/Wing
Use exceptions for a big and shooter.
Also I won't be surprised if Dell will use trade exception from Boogie/Buddy deal.
Still don't know what to expect with Dante. What is the market for him. And how our $$$ will look.
Dell is calling all over the league. Also leaguewide cap space is starting to drying up.
Might be the right time to strike.
Color me a big fan of Fournier and I feel the addition of he and Collison would be huge...
"we might make dollars, but we don't necessarily make sense"
"always be sincere....whether you mean it or not"
J. Holiday to the Bulls; $9M over 2yrs.
Sign Teodosic for MLE
Trade Asik + 1st for Terrence Ross.
Sign PG, Lawson for BAE
Try to get some more veterans that strike out on contracts for minimum's (like Casspi, Sefolosha, Gerald Gren, Jerebko,..)
Teodosic/Lawson
Holiday/Moore/FA
Hill/Ross/FA
Davis/Diallo/FA
Cousins/Ajinca/FA
probably no one of them will take minimum

He is trying really, really hard to pull off something bigger than just the 9th men types we've been hearing. I can tell you that. https://t.co/9orWyVUVmG

Him, referring to Demps, of course.
Wonder who Demps is going at. I mean, better than a 9th man? Maybe he's going after someone who can start. And it might be on a team that probably sees it's time to rebuild.
Most likely Phoenix in the West. I wonder if any East teams would be willing to give up stars since this looks like a good time to sneak into the playoffs for some of them.
several other tweets on the Demps subject above are out there somewhere ... makes it sound like he is trying to pull of something pretty substantial...I think one of the tweets suggests that its not involving a free agent...
Maybe the nuggets is the team to watch for a potential trade.
Barton
Look at Denver, Portland, Toronto, Phoenix, Milwaukee...
They are capped out /close to tax or rebuilding...
Does anyone think maybe in the slightest we're thinking we could get wall? He did say he needed a week to think on signing the extension
Not a chance. What would we offer that they would even think about?
Maybe a few firsts and seconds and some players lol hey I can dream man and I will lol
Yeah, it is nice to dream, but that would not even get them thinking.
If he doesn't sign the extension there could be a Paul George scenario.
If dell would pull that off along with the boogie trade thats insane lol
Jabari parker, Khris Middelton
Watchout for a trade with the Blazers who need to get rid of some bad contract that won't take them anywhere such as Crabbe, Turner or Meyers Leonard. Unless we are going for McCollum and Portland goes on the tanking road, but I doubt it very much
I'd take Bledsoe.
Is even take b knight. Assuming his price is less. Knight took a step back last year, but is only 25 and an upgrade regardless of his previously displayed hoops iq
