Long but interesting read.

When rookies reach RFA their draft status no longer matters. If they pan out they'll be looking for big pay days. Thats not true re GSW: Steph got his extention last year KD is due one this year Klay has 1 year left and eligible to be extended. Draymond has 2 years left.

Likes these days are like top draft picks - hard to come by.

Nailed it.

Not can't, I just don't think we will.

If we draft 4 players, i think one will be a draft n stash. It's more likely we combine 2 picks to move up a little.

I wish. Everything, I've read, heard, researched has indicated the Dennis' value is exceedingly low. Last I read only worth a 2nd round pick - around the league he's an unlikeable player, not viewed as much of a starter hence is now overpayed as a 6th man at $15.5 mil for 3 years, defense and 3pt shooting is rock bottom, his semi-demand for a trade and then top it off with his pending legal case and he's viewed as a negative asset. I don't think his value is that low but as it stands I don't think it's top 10 value - I'm hoping I'm dead wrong. All it takes is one team. A more likely trade maybe #16 and Knight from the Suns. But they are also trying to get back in top 10 to select Young - "package No. 16, No. 31 and "maybe someone like Marquese Chriss" to try to wiggle their way back into the top 10."

Agreed. I just don't see LAC having assests to move up to #5. They'd have to include a future top 3 protect 1st at least with #12 and #13. They can maybe trade #13 and Beverly to Philly to move to #10, maybe?

Not my perception. That's a league wide perception from most articles I've read, pods I've listened too, talk radio, other fan base sites etc. But you are right that it only takes one team to have an interest. Why wouldn't Orlando just take Young at 6 or trade down a little and take Sexton?

Not far. Besides Dennis' perceived negative value. I don't see one team taking on approx. $34 mil for #19 and #30.

Deandre has a player option, can't be included in a trade. Why would Dallas though after he already spurned them a few years ago. Dallas has capspace to sign him outright if he opts out.

I get the premise. I don't think we'll be big FA, RFA spenders this offseason. I'd prefer assests vs salary dumping Plumlee. He'll be a valued expiring next offseason. We should be collecting assests. Next offseason has a better FA class.

What? Are you copping out Supes? Don't we want the 'Franchise Changer'??????

You're gonna be itching for days. . You need to post when you are on some of the good meds.

This is all I got..

Seeeez fanboy will get you.

Is that all that's empty? Mmmmm? Spud just giving away likes all willy nilly.

Nique really needed those public speaking classes that Ferry wanted him to take.

Dennis' value is in the toilet. (I wish it wasn't so) Dennis has 3 years left at $15.5 mil per Hill has 2 years left - 1st year at $19 mil, 2nd year guaranteed for $1 million. There is not much cap savings in 2018/19 for Cleveland to give up the 8th pick, difference of $3.5 mil. However over the life of the contracts, Cavs will be taking on $46.5 mil for Dennis vs $20 mil for Hill.
