I would rather just let shump play out the season and hopefully increase his value then take back that kinda deal.
DMo is still cost-controlled passed 2015, whereas Shump's cap hit is huge heading into next offseason.
Replicating what Bargs brings to the table is perfect, we could actually focus on developing DMo, not as a #1 option, but in a winning environment in a proven system. We could just buyout Bargs and free up a roster spot.
A move like this just gives us more flexibility next offseason. As you said... they'd hit our cap hold at a little over $3 million for both DMo and Canaan. Much better than $6+ for Shump. 2 for 1 at less than half the price?
We need to learn how to maximize these assets.
but lets say shumpert gets off to a good start. Maybe we can ship Shumpert mid season for a future 1st and possibly another small asset.
I would take that package of cannan and Dmo anyday of the week. Plus a future 1st cap hold is probably around 1.5 in a shumpert trade scenario so that saves us close to 2 million rather than tying that into DMo and Cannan to very so so players.
So you're saying that Shumpert's value is that of a mid-to-late 1st Round Pick. Which based on my trade, it sounds like my valuation was probably on par for Motie...it's just you don't value Motie the same way I do.
Motiejunas is a SKILLED 7fter, those don't grow on trees. I think his ceiling is still as high, if not higher, than a projected mid-to-laye 1st. I'm not saying Motiejunas is the next big thing...but give him an opportunity, in this system, to develop over the course of the year...and watch him flourish.
Everyone loved the Jason Smith signing, some even compared Smith/Bargnani's game...we'd be able to just cut ties with everything that follow's with Bargnani's name, and have DMo learn from Smith and he's at worst a solid rotation player.
We need to think about players who can develop but also contribute now. We need to think about 2015 and that it also takes DEPTH to win titles. Not sure we need to wait around for a future 1st Rounder to develop, what's wrong with starting with a 23yr old skilled 7fter who happens to be a perfect fit in your system?
