Re: Free Agents: 2017 and beyond
Andrew Bogut would be a great veteran influence. What does Dallas need him for? Great for playoff push or a tryout to sign him for a couple more seasons. It seems installing the system takes precedence over change for change sake. Most of the roster is still in the development stage of their careers.

I really like the idea of JaMychal Green on this roster. What kind of deal would it take to keep Memphis from matching?

Thibs is going to max out Taj Gibson.

Re: Free Agents: 2017 and beyond
Would you guys go after Ilyasova as an addition to our bench? Basically an ugraded Blejica when it comes to shooting and rebounding. I don't see a better big man on the market besides Griffin and Millsap who would also consider joining us.
all I ever needed was somebody with some reason who can keep me sane
Ever since I can remember, I've been keepin' it together, but I'm feelin' strange

Re: Free Agents: 2017 and beyond
I'm interested to see how teams approach the salary cap this summer when it comes to a lot of the free agents we have discussed here.
-The Raptors have a lot of free agents to resign this summer. Kyle Lowry, Patrick Patterson, Serge Ibaka, and P.J. Tucker all need to be resigned. I would guess the are going to resign Kyle Lowry and Serge Ibaka and then either Patrick Patterson or P.J. Tucker. I see no way they can keep them all.
-The Thunder are in a similar spot with Taj Gibson and Andre Roberson. They were rumored to be looking at trades for Andre Roberson, so maybe that is a sign that they don't intend to match offers for him or that it wouldn't take much for a sign and trade.
-Nikola Mirotic doesn't seem to be a priority for the Bulls.
-Cleveland is already way up there in salaries and still needs to resign Korver.

Re: Free Agents: 2017 and beyond
What are your thoughts on Otto Porter? He seems like he'd fit nicely at the 3 next to either Wiggins/LaVine playing the 2.
There's a thread on the GB, where a lot of people think Washington would not match a near-max offer. Seeings how we'll have plenty of cap space and our only big non-rookie contract (Rubio) will expire before Towns kicks in, I wouldn't mind throwing some money at him.
If you had two scorers in Towns and Wiggins/LaVine (I think one will need to be traded) and then a 3&D stud like Porter you could probably round out the lineup with nearly any kind of PG (like Rubio) and a defensive PF (perhaps even Dieng?) and make some noise.

He would be perfect for this team, probably top-3 between 3&D guys in this league.
But there is no way the Wizards don't give him the max.

If he is just a 3&D guy, why would anyone give him the max?

Porter is getting the max. While we are at it, kcp will also get the max.
3 and D wings aren't easy to find.

If Washington isn't matching a max offer for Otto Porter we better be all over that. I bet they will though.

Those types of players are very rare.

I don't think either of those guys will get the max. We'll see.
That's precisely how you become a treadmill team.

Handing out max contracts to the Otto Porters of the world isn't the way to become a contender.

A small forward not near his prime averaging 45% from outside the arc, with a 63% eFG, rebounds and defends isn't worth the max?

Sure, if you think his league-leading 129 ORtg is sustainable, by all means....

He doesn't have to have a ORtg that high to be worth a max contract.
Career 40% outside shooter. 45% this season in 57 games on a good amount of attempts. Improved his accuracy inside the arc as well.
For the people ready to give Zach LaVine 20+ million per season. I'm confused as to why Otto Porter wouldn't also get them same if not more.

Because we already have Zach LaVine and Otto Porter would be a fourth max/near-max contract in the next two years.

Obviously you wouldn't be keeping them all.

I would say that would be like the Orlando Magic handing Rashard Lewis the max.
