Its never to early to look ahead til next year... well maybe it is but whatever.
What do you guys think the roster is gonna look like.
Heres our contracted roster for next year
PG: Westbrook/Maynor/Robinson/Ivey
SG: Sefolosha/Harden
SF: Durant
PF: Ibaka/Collison
C: Perkins/Aldrich/Mullens
Cook and Mohammed are our only free agents, and Cook is restricted. We also only have 1 draft pick and thats our first rounder which will be something in the mid 20s.
As opposed to the last couple years, we arent really going to be looking to add any pieces, instead our main move will be extending Westbrook. This is too hard to predict what kinda money we can offer though with the current CBA expiring.
Do we try to bring back Nazr or Cook? I doubt we go after any FAs so it seems if we make any moves it will be via trade. Robinsons 4.5 million expiring contract will look very appealing. If we let Cook walk i could see us trading for a backup SF with a package starting with Robinson. Or maybe that void could be filled by our draft pick, either Singler or Jordan Hamilton could be available.
I also could see us letting Mohammed go, but all that depends on if Aldrich develops into a capable back up or not. IF the cap stayed the same as it is this year wed have about 7 million in cap space to work with, so it would be interesting to see what Presti would do with the extra cap space. Mohammeds looked good thus far though so I wouldnt mind seeing him come back but at a fraction of what hes making now.
