I would do that second one. I don't remember exactly how much Brown makes though.

I haven't really seen anything that impresses me that much with Almond. Fes has potential but I highly doubt that he pans out into a role player.

I would trade Almond and Miles to young\rebuilding team for some veteran swingman. But that's just me..

Miles has the right of trade refusal for this year.

It was pretty much a forgone conclusion once we matched CJ's offer sheet. No need/room for everyone on the wing. I wonder if Memphis might be interested...they could use a shooter, he's young enough to grow with the team, and they're under the cap (so don't have to send anyone back, if we're worried about roster size).

I want to keep Miles, I think he has a future. Even if he's not putting up big numbers, he hasn't been bad for us. I think he'll be a little more efficient in future games, even then, another swingman isn't going to play a large role regardless, especially with Harpring coming back soon.

We should of gone for Barnes. HE SIGNED FOR THE MINIMUM! That's rediculous.

I think he is definitely a Jerry player and I thought if we dealt AK over the summer he would have been a good pick up.

What do you think about:

Almond for Affalo

Almond for Sean Williams

?

Williams is in the dog house, Affalo is in the same position as Almond and seems to play better D then Almond.
