I don't really agree. I don't know if I specifically want Martin, but it's his caliber of player that we should be looking to aquire with our cap space.

I don't think we cleared up all this cap space to only spend it on someone we already own the rights too. That would be disappointing. The cap space is supposed to facilitate player acquisition.

Sorry, let me explain more. By bringing over Pek, I'm assuming it would be for a reasonable deal. And by wheeling and dealing in the draft, I'm referring to similar moves to what Kahn did to acquire the Rubio pick.

As long as Pekovic isn't the only player we spend our cap space on.

Hopefully this deal goes through. Brown would be a nice player to have to shoot some 3s for us.
