1) Ive read that the stretch of Dedmon and Gruder is only about $4million a year. Also that this number will go down when those two gets deals. The equation was half the amount they make on new deals will be taken off of the stretch amount.
So if Dedmon gets $5 a million a year (I mean he was getting 13?) then $500k gets taken off each of the 5 years. Same for Gruder. Maybe that will only be $3 or less a year after this all figured out.
2) There is a chance that Blake gets traded, or he is done. Grant will get starter minutes at the PF and could be traded next year to someone who misses out in free agency. $20 million is a good size. The problem with the big contracts like Blake is that $37 million is just too large.
3) Plumlee will be a good mentor for Stewart. Those two will be the right kind of partner to train with. Each will give %100 and if they dont injure each other, will make each other better. Or at least keep Plumlee sharp.
4) Maybe Wood's personality was really that bad? And he had to be sent out. Casey did not seem to like him.
Feel free to add your own. There are plenty of places for bad news and I will be the first to add to those lists. But there are possible positives.
