In order to move them, we're going to have to move kids with them. I believe it's worth it. Move Randle, Clarkson, Nance, maybe even Zubac with them.
In all likelihood, Clarkson will be the sacrificial lamb here, and Deng and Mozgov will both be stretched.
So, by all means, if you lose sleep about not having Clarkson around forever in purple and gold, continue obsessing about the Mozgov/Deng signings.
I don't think we're stretching either of those guys. It's too much money. We have a genius running our team now in Rob, he's going to figure it out someway that get's rid of those contracts.
But we have the option, right?
And if the option is, in fact, there, why the sheer desperation to get rid of them, even at the expense of Randle, Zubac, Nance, or the third pick, as you've all proposed?
You're a young guy, but you're not stupid, dude.
Listen to the Oldman when I say that options are a gift. In this case, yeah, it's expensive, you're right, but they don't have to salary dump Randle or surrender Zubac or the "the pick" to achieve the end . . . signing two guys.
They have the option to simply stretch both of them and still sign two guys (Collison and George).
