2 yr deal, maybe a third year TO...absolute 6MOY candidate and an offensive machine for the 2nd unit with AB next to him...he's flawed, I don't want to put the keys to the offense right into his hands, but as far as budget possibilities - few can light it up like him. It might also allow us to run less of a frontcourt-centric offense and even consider letting Moe walk if he's not interested in a reasonable pay cut...We can't be scared of Moe, we've got way too much money into this team now to be nice to the detriment of the team's upside.
Having said that, if we could re-sign Moe for a better deal...Moe, D'Lo, AB, TdS, Caleb, and #25 is a pretty good starting point...I've assumed dealing Goga and Jett, but they could obviously also be factors if others are dealt.
Somewhat reasonable possibility (I think)...
Decline all TO's ...return to re-sign Moe later, $8m x 3 yrs
ORL sends: Goga, Jett, #25
DAL sends: Gafford
sign DeAngelo Russell to (part of?) MLE, sign Miles Plumlee to 1 yr vet min, possibly waive when Moe returns.
WCJ becomes a super-sub but we may explore moving off of him at the TD - before his extension (or he may earn back his spot with reliability, motor, and shooting?)
Gafford, WCJ, Plumlee (Moe)
Paolo, Isaac, WCJ
Franz, TdS, AB
Suggs, AB, Queen
Bane, DLo, McClung or srp (Proctor?)
If D'Lo buys in, that's a demonic 2nd unit backing up a monster young starting lineup
Zero chance we add DLo given our assistance on high character.
