Sure, we have 30 million to spend... But, let's be realistic... Chances are our "top" free agent signing will cost somewhere in the vicinity of 15 million per...
Think Bazemore or Beal, Noah or Howard, the odds are we can snag a "legit" starter at either SG or C.
Why? Well, after that we need to re-sign our guys (LT & & KS & DW & LG), which means we probably have to break up that other 15 mil into 2-3 pieces to round out the roster.
Gonna be a tough call which way to go. Smart move is to target a starting SG, add a J-Crawford, then sign a Mozgov or something... This is a guard league after all...
We definitely need a shooter and s perimeter (wing) defender.
I think Evan Turner, J-Noah, & Crawford would be my 3 targets. Might be cutting it close... But you might be able to swing this.
I would target Noah mainly bc he compliments what we already have, possesses all those intangibles ROLO had, he has chemistry already with Rose, and is a high IQ / quality passing big.
How high would I go? That depends mainly on what it costs me to grab 2 SGs... 15-18 mil would probably be what's necessary. For Noah, it might be worth overspending (short term deal).
After that? There's not a big I would chase... Pau only if he signed for 10-12 mil... Forget Howard. BB from TOR makes sense at 10-12... Maybe even Jefferson.
Now... Would it be wise to gamble on Beal? Tough call given his restricted status... DeRozan would be ideal... After that, Turner and Crawford makes the most sense.
The point is... If Noah balls... Go chase the scoring guards.
A bunch of teams have to spend a lot of bucks to reach their floor... This means tier 3 free agents will be given some hefty contracts...
Anyway, going to be a wild weekend. Durant would be nice, DeRozan too... But Noah, Turnet and Crawford make us a 50 won team.
