Who do you want the Bucks to sign in FA this summer? 

Post#1 » by paulpressey25 » Sat Feb 20, 2016 4:12 pm

Here's an old link to Frank's Brewhoop salary spreadsheet (scroll down in article) but the numbers are all updated. I can't find the source link but maybe Frank can post it and I'll edit it.

http://www.brewhoop.com/2013/6/30/4280154/caponomics-nba-offseason-salary-cap-primer

Salary cap projected to be approximately $90 million but those estimates could go as high as $95 million. Bucks are projected to have approx. $25 million in cap space if they renounce Plumlee.

Here's a list of the 2016 free agents:

http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/12307054/nba-free-agents-2016-2017

I'm all in on these guys personally:

1. Delly
2. Biyombo
3. Joe Johnson
4. Teletovic

Rationale is that by next year our core should be ready to compete and we'll be fine putting some good vet bench guys around them.

I would love if Joe Johnson came to us in a mentor role on a cheaper deal. I really wanted the Bucks to sign Biyombo last offseason, not sure what I would give up for his expiring contract next year though.

If Giannis and (especially) Parker shine these last 28 games and we think they (along with Middleton) are ready to take a big step forward I'm all for using up the cap space. But I don't want to use it just because we have it. Signing the wrong guy to a bad contract could really hurt down the road. At least Monroe is relatively short term.
I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

Some of those guys picked a great year to be UFAs.

And Delly is restricted. Does CLE match any offer?

Bismak B and Conley Jr. Bring those two in, we will probably have a roughy patch to start the year, but we'd finish with 50 wins and contend. Following year we are title contenders. I would also trade Monroe after Conley Jr was signed... for literally anything.

Don't worry guys. Novak is on the way.

I don't get this move at all. Should've signed Jimmer.

I just pray that we don't re-sign any of our guys (Bayless, Mayo, Vasquez).

I wouldn't be mad if mayo was brought bag dirt cheap, but agreed.

My assumption is that Kidd will bring in Mirza.

Mayo has been crap 2 of the 3 years he was here. I'd bring back last year's Mayo but not this year's Mayo. He'd have to be dirt cheap.

I think we should have traded for Crabbe. If I remember correctly, he is a RFA, and the Blazers pretty much have their guys locked up if I remember correctly and are at the salary floor. It would have to be a risky overpay, whereas had we traded for him (Monroe) and filler, we would have been in the driver's seat. I don't think it is realistic.

The other guys like Chalmers and Dellavadova I guess I would be down for, but I fear under Kidd they will be asked to do too much and we'll notice right away that they aren't the player they were when they were surrounded by superstars.

Guys like Zaza, Dudley, and Lee, while I like their play, are just not in the same timeline for our younger players and I'm content not having players like this for another year.

Not sure what it would take to get Ross or Bazemore, but I welcome any 3pt shooting wings. Can't have enough.

Our whole upcoming off-season will depend on Monroe.

Delly is the perfect point guard for the Bucks. Much better fit than Rubio or Conley and much cheaper.

A 8-10ppg player coming from the bench would help a lot, assuming that Vaughn can raise his numbers next season to 8ppg. He has to be a team player though. Not like Bayless. Dudley? D.Williams or Teletovic? All of these in logical contracts.
Boban and Crabbe would be great, but they are RFA.

Delly/MCW/pick
Midds/Vaughn
Giannis/Crabbe?/pick
Jabari/Dudley or Teletovic or Williams/JOB
Henson/Boban or Plumlee/pick
No hay banda.
