Let's assume you signed 1 year vet minimums for the remaining roster spots this off-season...does your squad make the playoffs?
Dre, Baynes, Vet

Let's assume they do and get beat in Round 1 (which is possible despite us spending big)
You then let the 3 Vets walk, let KCP walk and you've got your $25 mil or thereabouts to replace KCP....
Dre, Who
Harris, King
Mook, SJ

RJ, Who, Benji
You've got 2 draft picks and $25 mil to turn that into a potential top 4 team in the Conference!
Ready?
Set.
Go!
Good luck bro
What was the point of excluding the part where I already explained this and then asking the same thing again? lol
I just told you I'd either sign Redick or Bullock and save the rest. Can't do anything about upgrading SF/PF in FA as we're committed to Morris/Harris for 3 more years. So address the issue at SG, add some vet min backups, keep working trades and evaluate again the next summer.
In other words, build the same team we have now except for better SG play and more cap flexibility to keep building.
You rather have issues at SG and no money instead?
What you're excluding is that by signing vet minimum guys and stop gap options (which Bullock or Redick would be) is the Joe Dumars BS that got us in trouble in the first place!
Everybody saw the potential we had last season. Even youcan't deny that.
By not going "all in" with signings now you're dooming the team to a never ending "process" where you sit on your cap space, hoping to land "better" options that may NEVER come!
That's not a good way to go and SVG has stated numerous times that method was NOT possible due to the 5 years before he arrived.
Gores wanted to win games without sacrificing our future. You're not winning games by sitting on $20+ mil in cap space - you're deliberately hoarding an asset waiting to strike.
We did strike! That's what Boban, Ish, JL are! We signed 3 guys that one can argue are underpaid!
I pay no mind to you continuing your never ending mission (destroy KCP) but the idea that we waste a year or 3 in the hope of improving our SG & bench is ridiculous.
We improved our bench! Now you've only got one thing to whinge about - & you'll whinge about that regardless
Pretty sure the Dumars method was capping us out with ill-fitting average talent on long-term deals. Which is the exact opposite of what I'm saying and I'm not going over this again.
