How much $ do we have now?

[frankthetank966]

Most of the article I've read are saying we will have $30 million+ next year. How much do we have this off-season to spend? Are we basically conceeding the playoffs this year with these trades?

6-8 million to get a Small Forward

Good idea. Who do you think we can get for that price? I really think we are going to get crushed this year unless we make another move. I guess Harris or Morrow becomes the SG. We still need a SF. Stevenson is past his prime.

who knows the available SF free agents?

it will be a one year player so a min guy

I'd like Terrence Williams from that list.

Answered my own question re: "Abe" Stevenson

DeShawn Stevenson sign-and-trade as part of Nets-Hawks Joe Johnson swap is 3 years, $6.9 M. Only 1st year ($2.3M) guaranteed.

Thank heavens!

I don't think we are done yet...JMHO.I think Ferry is a hired gun to put this franchise in the best possible place for a possible new owner. Basically - when all is said and done - we will be an expansion level team. Edited July 3, 2012 by DJlaysitup

On the SF list I forgot Andrei Kirilenko. Jazz retain his Bird Rights FWIW.~lw3

I like Beasly the most from that list. 2 years ago he was averaging 19.2 ppg 5.6 rpg 2.2 apg. The reason why he had a down year was because Minny didn't play him enough, and he felt like he wasn't apart of the team. If he comes to our team, look for him to get you 16.9 ppg 6.3 rpg 3.4 apg.
