It was obvious this was going to happen when dallas traded for KP... the nonsense about him taking the qualifying was just to lower his value and get NY to trade him. Dirty.

So from whole FA pool, only big time FA left are Klay ( will resign) and Butler.
But that's pretty much it.

I was thinking the market for him was 12-15, so right in the middle.

Aminu in pretty much spells Gordon or Isaac are out . Time to trade for actual guard.

Not sure why. I think he takes the backup 4 role. Might limit Iwundu some. It really means we won't see much of Okeke, imo.

Aminu for less than 10 mln. per year is an amazing deal.

Having backup PF capable of playing ( unlike Martin) will cut into min of Gordon or Isaac or both, as both were eating up that backup PF min whenever it was needed.

That's why i think trade is option.
But who knows, maybe he'll just play backup PF and they will keep Gordon at SF, Isaac at PF and keep Isaac on 25mpg.

I'd say Gordon is out, since Isaac is core WeHam.

Otherwise they've got no options to improve that backcourt. All money used up now.

Gordon should fetch someone decent at least.

Our defense is going to be even better this year...Aminu can switch all over and is a passable 3pt shooter.

Doubt we trade Isaac.

AG was not drafted by WeHam.

Also Isaac still on rookie contract so trade of equal or better value will be tough salary wise.

I see AG being shopped around now.
