Cap Space? 

Post#1 » by hodgy#11 » Wed Apr 29, 2009 10:40 pm

Hi guys,

Longtime Sonics fan, somewhat of a Thunder convert. Great young team, definite potential!

Just wondering how much cap space the team has this offseason?

After watching the playoffs do you think that Ben Gordon would be a good fit? Or is signing a bigman a priority for this offseason?

depends upon what the salary cap is set to, but after signing our draft picks we should have approximately 10 mil, give or take...

We should definitely have enough to sign Gordon or another big time contributor, however I'm a big fan of just holding onto the cap space so that we can re-sign all of our players in the coming years instead of committing to another big contract.

Yeah what he said,But watching Gordon in the playoffs he's looking to be one of the MAIN face of the team and we are building around Durant ,Westbrook and Green,TO ME he seem to have a problem with Rose being the face of the Bulls and doesnt pass the ball when he NEED to so I hope we stay away from signing him.

Although Gordon is a very good player, several shots he takes EVERY game give me a cringing feeling reminiscent of several of Earl Watson's *wonderful* plays from this season...

NO on Gordon, he's looking cocky and he lacks good shot selection. He is far from what J.Terry brings to the Mavs. He maybe hitting clutch shots but those are horrible shot selections, and watch him closely when he hits them. He grabs his crotch like he owns the game. That definitely doesn't fit the Presti type of player. Do you see Ginobili ever doing that?
