I'm glad we are on the same page.
Anyhow...offseason. Predictions?
1. Kirk Hinrich signing
2. Pau Gasol trade
3. Alexsey Schved signing.
Bring on more bearded whites!! Please!
Other than that I am all for trying to get Kevin Martin in a salary dump as an alternative. I think the Iggy-for-nothing ship has sailed.
Yeah, I didn't mean anything weird by that. Just that you were a seething volcano of anger towards this guy you don't know just based on his new website and how much of a diva he is... Seems like a funny situation.
As for predictions...
Kahn is fricking due for a solid base hit this summer. Fricking due.
Solid base hits:
1. (a) Derrick Williams for #2 and use it to pick either Beal or MKG? Yes please. MKG is a young Artest (without that whole, um... insanity thing) or Gerald Wallace in the making. Guy goes H.A.M. as DFS would say.
1. (b) Williams and cap relief for Iguodala, Gay, Noah, or Gortat. Gortat is probably the one guy in that group who isn't vastly overpaid so he's the least likely to be moved. Someone of that caliber anyway.
*I mean, we absolutely need to be dangling Williams at this point, right? He clearly is as good as anyone in the draft not named Anthony Davis (and might be more NBA ready than AD anyway).
2. #18 and cap relief for an adequately paid Ariza and the #10 pick. If they really are that hard up to move Ariza, we need to jump on that. #10 is much better than #18 in this draft.
3. Assuming that Williams goes, bring back Beasley at a decent $3-5M per year salary (2 or 3 year deal). I wouldn't complain about a 2 year $10M deal, or a 3 year $12M.
4. Sign a solid, role playing wing for a decent salary. Someone like Sefolosha, Battier, Ronnie Brewer, Jodie Meeks, etc. Nobody special, just a basic FA signing at a reasonable rate.
As for predictions? None of the above. Extend Pek. Re-sign someone who makes no sense (AR anyone?). Let Tolliver walk even though he's super affordable and works hard. Draft someone who has a great smile and low floor. The optimists among us will argue that extending Pek is smart and use it to justify another awful and uneventful summer.
