I think these are the guys Portland will really look at. Williams and Lopez are the only grade A proepects that are under 32. I just don't know if Portland will want to spend their space on 38 year old Nash, even though it would be cool to get him, for the short stint he were here. The others would be good backups, and perhaps a guy like Augustin or Brooks could take over for Felton if we don't resign him.

Deron Williams, U
Aaron Brooks, R
Jermey Lin, U
D.J. Augustin, R
George Hill, R
Steve Novak, U
Wilson Chandler, R
Steve Novak, U
Kenyon Martin,U
Carl Landry, U
Brook Lopez, R
Chris Kaman, U
JaVale McGee, R
 
Has Landry played better as late? because he was not earlier.
 
I think he was really out of shape this year.
 
Can anyone find a list of how much cap room each team will have? I thought i heard there will be a lot of teams with a lot of space this offseason.
 
Off the bench he is scoring 11.5ppg and grabbing 4.4rpg

Not that bad. He would be the perfect back up for LMA.
 
If nothing else, I think we can at least really improve our bench unit.
 
A bunch of teams will have money to spend this summer. A lot of guys are gonna' get overpaid this year!
 
OJ Mayo is probably gonna end up making 10+ million dollars a year LOL what a waste.

So you think they'll do a double-take on Steve Novak?

He's hitting his 3's quite well but does nothing else to speak of.
 
I see lots of super but old and highly paid guys.

I see promising young guys who will be re-signed.

I see restricted players who will be kept.

I see a couple stars who could opt out but won't.

I see nobody who wants to come to a gutted team except dozens of pretty good bench players who've been failing as starters and have worn out their welcome.

That leaves a trade as our only hope to get a top player, and that would cost us our picks, Batum and Wes, and probably future considerations. And then the star would demand a re-trade because LA is all he'd have for help.

Isn't storeytellers link above on this site?
 
Free agents are: d will 1st, then Nash. Im curious about Jason terry. If Dallas is going all in for Howard and d will, then they won't have much room for him.

I'm really interested in the centers and Pfs too. Jason maxell will surely opt out because he's playing well. Brandon bass seems like a good choice, but I think Boston will hold onto him. Hawes and kamen seem like good choices, but they're going to be too expensive. I actually like jerm oneal too. If he can be had for 5-6 mil it ain't that bad!
 
I know he's restricted and they can match but the Knicks are capped out -- how could we make it extremely difficult for them to re-sign Jeremy Lin?
 
If we offered 10 mil a year for Lin, I doubt NY would match (unless they can offload Carmelo or Stoudamire for cap space) Why would a GM want to bring a non-winning team up to their eyeballs in luxery tax payments?

Maybe we should sit on our cap space till next year though....
 
I don't think any team uses cap space as it's only "plan", everyone knows the value of drafting well, and that drafting well is of primary importance. But why would a team not want to shed contracts of underperforming players for an opportunity to get someone better? It's an opportunity, not a "shitty plan".

That's what I thought when I looked at the list for the "deepest draft in years". I did not see a lot of "can't miss" players.

Going the free agent and draft route are both risky. Having both options improves the odds a little.
 
Can't you also use your cap space to acquire a player with a big contract through a trade without having to give out equal amount?
 
Re-sign Joel to be our backup center. Sign Indiana's Lou Amundson to backup LaMarcus. Put the full court press on for Deron Williams. If he says "No thanks", go after Jeremy Lin. Sure he turns the ball over but he's a phenomenal distributor who showed what he can do when he doesn't have to give the ball up to Melo every time down the floor. No Nash, just no. He's way to old and this team is ready to win a title. I like Spencer Hawes but I feel he and LA down low wouldn't be bruising enough so I'd throw some money at Omer Asik. I think he's got a lot of untapped talent.

THIS, don't pay too much attention the actual free agents.
 
Steve Nash is the only attainable game changer on that list. Some of the younger guys like Eric Gordon are RFAs, and the older guys who are UFAs that intrigue me (Kris Humphries and Carl Landry) play the same position as LMA. Hibbert would be nice, but Indiana isn't going to let him go.
 
Best pick + EWill for Rondo.

Second best pick + Wessy for Josh Smith.Then re-sign Joel and Kurt.

Then we've got Rondo/Nic/Smoove/LA/Joel.

Center would be weak, but our D and rebounding wouldn't be that bad.

Not a bad idea, but I'd be tempted to take Perry Jones with the 2nd-best pick instead of trading for Josh Smith.
 
I think they should take a look at Omer Asik.
