Wizards 2019 Offseason Thread

[closg00]

Any interest in the guy the 76ers just renounced? Anzejs Pasceniks

Reading horrible things about him from the Sixers, following his situation though

[payitforward]

If we have room I'd be interested in Glenn Robinson III as a low cost SF.

Sign me up -- he's good, & he'll be looking to redeem his career!

Top 15 free agents available. Only players probably worthwhile to sign to that kind of money are Cousins and Parker. 1 year deals, re-establishes their market in a very weak free agent class in 2020. I think DMC is waiting on what happens with the Lakers.

Jabari Parker and/or Avery Bradley, then call it an offseason.

Bradley would be a horrendous signing. I would have said Delon Wright but he's a RFA.

Bradley has been bad since leaving Boston though he played better with MEM this year..

I bet we sign Cousins if we get that exception for Wall. You know Ted wants to make the playoffs and doesn’t care about the future.

Signing Cousins ain't taking this roster of trash to the playoffs.

I wonder how quickly that Disabled Player Exception would be granted. Can it retroactively be applied to the package of players received from LA? If so, that would re-inflate that Otto Porter TPE which was depleted from $6M down to about $1M as part of that LA trade.

The big limitation of the DPE is that it can only be used to acquire a 1-year free agent or an expiring contract. But if it is "laundered" through the LA trade, it could leave us with the more useful Otto Porter TPE.

Yeah, he started to look better when he got to the Grizzlies .
I've never been a huge fan of how Bradley plays, but we need to have at least one backcourt defender on this roster.

[Rafael122]

Woj said Cousins may not even get the MLE, so if that's the case, $10 mil for 1 year for him would be an overpay. Besides, we got Bryant, Mahinmi, and Howard. It doesn't make sense from a roster construction standpoint the more I think about it. We also don't have the infrastructure to handle him. Wall ain't going to be around this team everyday.

I'm guessing that $ is going to be used on a combo guard or Parker. I like Wright a lot but Memphis will match that.

This is tough. It's weird to say but even though the team is probably going to stink, they have a lot of flexibility. For example, they still have:

$3.4 million of the MLE. It would shock me if Schofield gets that entire amount even though 2nd round draft picks don't have a rookie scale.

BAE worth $3.6 million.

TPE of $3.2 million from the Oubre trade.

TPE of $8.6 million from the Morris trade.

If granted, the DPE is $9.2 million.

[raferfenix]

Took a quick look at teams that have cap/tax issues and how those teams might make for interesting trade partners using the Morris TPE.

Milwaukee - others have brought it up, but Ersan makes a ton of sense. They're getting two second round picks and a 1 from Indiana so maybe we get get both of those second round picks depending on what the year is? If I had to guess, Milwaukee already owes Indiana a 2021 2nd rounder...I'm thinking they get that back.

Hey sorry I haven't seen if posted earlier but curious about Ersan-rationale?

From the Bucks' perspective, we need all the shooting we can get, but DJ Wilson had been developing great before we brought in Mirotic. Robin Lopez eats away at backup center minutes too.

Certainly plausible Ersan will be the odd man out. Don't think we'd give up both 2nd's (maybe 1) though -- unless we had a plan to do something with that cap savings.

We can always keep some of those throughout the season as well, I don't think the exceptions expire until 2020.

Stop being a hater dude. Can't you see Tommy Shepperd's veeezhun?

Just thinking from the tax/cap perspective if you're looking to shed salary.

[long suffrin' boulez fan]

I’d like to see Jabari back at $9.8mm

We have Bird Rights on Parker. We can pay him whatever we want (up to $24M a year). We wouldn't have to use an exception.
