Ahh, the cap hold would probably fix the issue I was seeing. Could probably sign EJ and Karlo with the BAE too.
I'm not sure I like the roster construction, but I can see how all that would fit now

You can still technically do the trade as his contract is 13 mil next season and keep Larry and maybe 14. Hes 24 and would line up with the team as far as age is concerned but he doesnt fit the veteran bullshite Griff likes and we dont need more young people imo.

I'd bet it won't be over the tax. With the new CBA they are adding $160 million in licensing merch revenue to BRI which should raise the cap by about $2.6 million. The past few years we've gotten about a $2 million bump from the projection based on the playoffs being competitive and having good ratings. Hopefully that happens again and you can add about $4-$5 to the cap which would push the tax line out about $5-$6 million.
Yeah, I mean it's still up in the air a bit. I was going off of an estimated figure of $162M for the tax line based on an athletic article from February

The main thought was Willie wants to RUN RUN RUN. And our front court are the biggest offenders of this in current year.

I don't know who the person is, I haven't given thought to it, but I know the one you came up with is an overpay. I'm also not obsessed with Myles Turner like so many are. The GM seems to feel the same way because we've never went after him.

For sure, I just don't want to cut off our nose to save our face. Rim Protection is one of our biggest problems too, and replacing Jonas/Larry with Turner/Reid seems like it won't move the needle in a positive direction there.
Aside from that I don't dislike the roster, but the rotations I have a couple of issues with. Why would you want herb to be the primary ball handler and CJ come off the bench at the 2? CJ has proven he can be more of a true point guard that was expected and Herb is one of the worst facilitators we start, imo

Im not hard set on either and both have their + and -'s
The bigger problem is getting Trey on the court because I truly believe he is going to be a MAX player at some point.

But we did? I thought this was common knowledge. IND at the time wanted too much for him.

I am of the opinion that Herb Jones and Trey Murphy should switch roles. Make herb the defensive stopper on the bench, start Trey. Imo, Trey is a significantly better offensive threat and is just slightly less skilled defensively. I think Trey's offensive capabilities outweigh any perceived defensive deficiencies

I agree with pretty much everything.

And then the bigger issue...Orlando likely doesn't want JVal.
If Orlando wins the lottery, I could then see WCJ becoming available, but we would need 2 trades or a 3 teamer, 1 where we're getting WCJ and another where JVal is going elsewhere.
But just the main point, with Herb and we gotta start saving up for a Trey extension, WCJ would only be a short term piece I'd assume. So if he's a short term piece, back to my main point, why add assets to get worse in the short term at center?

Holy shite I agree with Shel.
The other bonus of the Buddy expiring is that its cap room for Herb/Trey.

We're going to have to pay somebody to play center and WCJ is cheaper than JV and on a declining contract.
And don't take this as me being pro WCJ, his games played is a big concern, but if the goal is to add a center that isn't JV and a shooter that Willie would play that also wouldn't cost as much as a Turner or Claxton package, WCJ and Harris fit the bill if available.

gosh.
1. a lot of work.
appreciate the effort.
2. paying too much.
I think you like buddy more than he's worth.
he never got better in Sacramento.
is buddy better than kennard? Memphis got Kennard for a maybe washed Green and 3 2nds.

Disagree but his secondary value is the expiring salary we will absolutely need.

Kira, pick 14 in an extremely weak draft, Dyson, and 2 picks from contenders isn’t going to get you Fox
Growing tired of the blatant homerism on this board (overvaluing our assets and undervaluing others)

Myles Turner is NOT A CHAMPIONSHIP player
That trade is horrendous as a result.
