First I will start by saying I am writing this with a realistic approach to free agency and building our team. Honestly, I am not excited about free agency regarding our positions of need. I feel we need another SF who is more offensive minded. I love the version of Solo we have right now, but we have no SF backing him up and I do not think Quincy will play again. Another position of need is SG if we keep Jrue at PG. If we move Jrue to SG we need a starting PG.
Scenario 1: WE MOVE JRUE TO SG
During free agency we sign Restricted free agent SF Joe Ingles for a Solo deal of 10 million a season for 4 seasons. This accomplishes my goal of getting a offensive minded SF, but with a bonus of good defense. Ingles is 30 years old so this goes against Demps policy of young vet, but this team needs to win now to get Boogie to resign next offseason.
We trade our 2018 first round pick for PG Ricky Rubio and his salary for the next two years of 14.1 and 14.8 million.
We Stretch Asik. Sign Jeff Withey to 2 year small deal. resign D-mo to 3 year small deal
Under this scenario Jrue will be resigned for the max at the end of free agency because we have his bird rights and play SG.
TEAM LOOKS LIKE
PG- RUBIO, FRAZIER, JRUE
SG- JRUE, MOORE, CRAWFORD
SF- SOLO, INGLES, QUINCY
PF- DAVIS, DIALLO, DMO
C - COUSINS, AJINCA, WITHEY
Cousins or Davis always stays on the floor
Scenario 2: JRUE STAYS AT PG
During free agency we sign free agent SG KYLE KORVER for a deal of 10 million a season for 2 seasons. We sign SF Joe Ingles to the MLE for 8- 10 million a year for 3 years
We Stretch Asik. Sign Jeff Withey to 2 year small deal. resign D-mo to 3 year small deal. Sign Gravy (Greivis Vasquez) back to the team
Under this scenario Jrue will be resigned for the max at the end of free agency because we have his bird rights and play SG.
TEAM LOOKS LIKE
PG- JRUE, FRAZIER, GRAVY(General Greivis)
SG- KORVER, MOORE, CRAWFORD
SF- SOLO, INGLES, QUINCY
PF- DAVIS, DIALLO, DMO
C - COUSINS, AJINCA, WITHEY
Cousins or Davis always stays on the floor
I like both scenarios and I think they are both realistic. Rip away
