Cap Space?

[Draco]

Unless we're chasing CP3 (if available) or Deron next summer I say we do two things:

2) Trade(s) to bring back in a legit PG

So what PG's are a significant upgrade over Felton but more attainable than CP3 or Deron?

I think Steve Nash will be a free agent, but he will be old enough to be my grandpa by then.

If Wallace picks his player option, and we resign Batum to a contract starting at 9 mil per year, we'd be at 43.2 mil per year with only 6 players under contract. That's enough to offer a max and fill the rest with scrubs.

I don't see many realistic options though. There are some very good restricted free agents like Brook Lopez and Russell Westbrook, but I'm sure their teams would match.

I wonder if brass would use cap to take back a bad contract and a high draft pick?

I'd like to keep Wallace if we can actually add a top flight free agent. What kind of market would Wallace have? I doubt he gets max money, but some team might offer him a full MLE. I would love to get Deron Williams. It probably wouldn't happen but he would be my top choice.

If we can keep a core of Wes, LMA, and Wallace, I think adding Deron and maybe a big man would be huge. That team would compete in the west. Maybe make a run at Kevin Love or Eric Gordon. I don't see Howard coming here. We're too low profile, but Deron wants to win. He might be more amicable than Dwight or CP3.

Sounds good . . . but Cuban is targeting Deron too. Teams will be clearing cap space and Deron might be the only big free agent left.

Can Dallas get under the cap? Why would Deron want to go there when their window is rapidly closing? Dirk is how old now?

I would say our team would seem more appealing with Aldridge, Wallace, Wes, and Batum. Especially if we tank this season and get a decent draft pick

Yup. A horrible record would be a great advertisement to Williams about what a great core Aldridge/Wallace/Matthews/Batum is.

Oh those guys will be held out for the season with fake injuries. Don't worry.
