Does this work salary-wise?
Do we have enough money for Pek and Bud after taking Gordon and #4?

Love this depth chart. I have different guys I like in the 50's, but at that point it doesn't make much of a difference anyway.

I like the end depth chart as well if the finances work.

I think the CHA deal is a pretty big overpay.

Can Gordon be traded now with his player option? I thought I read otherwise.

This was the one thing I was unsure of. I asked Coon on Twitter, but haven't gotten a reply.

I thought it was a simple improvement over the basic core deal posted elsewhere. I guess if someone thinks Ridnour > Gordon, they might think otherwise.

If Oladipo turns into Tony Allen with a shot, it'd be a bargain. There's a risk involved in trading for prospects.

Athletes are willing and able to D up are low risk ... The challenge is Oladipo's ability to consistently hit the J

So CHA gets an improving D-Will + a top 10 pick AND relieve salary to allow us to select Oladipo?

I'm down

That bench is craaaazy undersized. Would be nice to have some muscle on the bench and some more length in the back court.

Haha, pretty much. Would be nice to have Barea's contract in there instead of Ridnour.

I think you have to overpay to move up and get a player you covet.

I love it, but looks like 4 guys making 8 figures - I think Kirilenko has to walk to make this viable

Only for one year though

You could argue that our starting 5 is oversized, so it balances out

Still, I think Taylor would need a little Flipnosis to be convinced

I don't know how you could say it's oversized with our two unathletic big with sub 9' standing reaches, plus you have to account for the 20 games each Pek and AK are going to miss next year.

Oladipo/Gordon isn't too shabby. Shved can continue to split time at PG/SG. We improve defensively and gain a vet that can shoot off the bench. Not that this is a permanent solution that will solve all of our problems but it beats overpaying in FA. Would I like a SG that's over 6'4 for once? Yes, but I also want a player that can actually contribute and stay on our team longer than 2 years.

Maybe I'm not that high on Williams, but I don't think he's a deal breaker here. I'd rather us sell him now versus declining the TO after this year while he's in the doghouse playing the same way. It's a risk moving up but if you're THAT sold on Oladipo, I think you have to do it.
