He makes all the sense in the world unless you think maybe an upgrade at backup PG is a bigger need (can Felton play another year?).
Backup PGs worth the tax payer MLE...Yogi? Joseph (if he opts out)?

That would be ideal, but I just can’t see a scenario where Melo doesn’t opt in if George returns

Knrstz wrote:I don’t think Lyles is that unattainable assuming a team has decent assets. If he keeps getting dnp’s then he likely won’t get that big of an offer.

“If you're getting stops and you're making threes and the other team's not scoring, that's when you're going to see a huge point difference there,” coach Billy Donovan said.

It's just impossible to say what's actually going on there, but if a guy misses a whole season because he forgot how to shoot that's pretty terrifying going forward.

I’d buy really low on him while also taking back Bayless to help facilitate max cap space for Philly. I think Fultz needs a restart in a new spot with a fresh team. I was SO high on him pre draft. I was thinking a better Dame as his realistic ceiling

Knrstz wrote:Doesn’t Philly have max cap space without doing this? I also think the number one pick in the draft isn’t required to dumb Bayless. Also, how can philly use okc to dump Bayless if we are already over the cap? We don’t have cap space to just absorb a guy. We need to send salary back.

Don't confuse him with complicated matters like the salary cap and the CBA. OKC can just magically do what they want without worrying about those things.

Knrstz wrote:I’m far from an expert on the salary cap and CBA so my post was sincerely asking. If there is a path to a championship with Russ and George, I’m all for it. The thing about getting lucky in the draft, it just requires two things to happen- miss the playoffs and have Adam silver draw our name. While those odds are not in our favor, I feel like the chances of that scenario happening are greater than making 3-4 trades that push us over the top. Then there is also the issue of Dononvan trying to mximize a championship caliber roster.
