Voted Rubio because he needed a vote.


I'm fine with the core guys going into the season.

I've got a lot of guys moving out.

Pekovic to Orlando to back-up Howard and assume a Gortat-like role.
Beasley to New Orleans to clear cap-space, give Hornets a needed offensive-weapon.
Milicic/Miller/Webster for Iguodala for a better fit, defensive-oriented player.

This would add $12.2 million to our cap-space this summer, giving us enough to go after a C. Personally I'd rather go after Afflalo and a one-year rental at Center. (Bring in Nellie for some small-ball :wink: )

Rubio(30)/Ridnour(18)
Afflalo(30)/Johnson(18)
Iguodala(28)/Johnson(8)/Williams(12)
Love(30)/Williams(18)
Randolph(25)/Love(5)/Tolliver(18) or one-year rental.

I'd also be fine trying to find cap-space instead of Iguodala for Milicic/Miller/Webster and going after Nene or a top C as well as Afflalo. This team can still be up-tempo, but we would improve dramatically with Afflalo and Iguodala on the wings. There are only a few true centers left in the NBA and those Centers would abuse Milicic anyway, so not a huge loss defensively.

And not to mention at least 3-4 of that 15 rebounds is taken from the hand of his teammates.

Did you see how terrible we were at rebounding at the end of the year when Love was out?


Williams is supposed to be a pretty good rebounder, obviously not Kevin Love-like, but nobody is. If trading Love can get us back an upgrade at C & SG then I'd be all for it.


Not a Wolve's guy so I didn't vote but, I think AR, Williams and Beas are all pretty good rebounders.
Webster is probably pretty expendable and W Johnson will need to step up.

While GSW would find K Love very interesting, he can't pair up with Lee,so unless GSW has a D Lee deal happening, I doubt they pay big to get Love. However...with GSW ya never know.

I think Webster has to go, I just don't see a spot for him on this team in the future.
"That's why the last two years weren't guaranteed," Walsh said. "Either way, he knew it could have happened either way."
