What should TS / would you do with rebuild 

Post#1 » by tbhawksfan1 » Wed Jun 27, 2018 7:34 am

Three options:

Go all in: look for every trade possible for Plumlee, Baze, Shro, Dedmon, Moose and possibly even Prince to bring in max draft assets while still willing to absorb salary for picks. Long-term, full rebuild.

Semi: hold on to useful vets like Baze, Dedmon and Moose with maybe a little FA activty. Win a few more games but avoid the losing environment.

Ready to add FA: Team has nice young pieces in place and some experienced talent like Schro, Prince, Dedmon, Moose.... go win now adding max win assets.

Poll and reasoning appreciated

Schlenk has said "they'll take a backseat to the early, FA frenzy, sign 1 or 2 to supplement the roster. $20 mil in capspace to take bad contracts for a pick.
Ideally, if presented with deals that make sense for vets, he'll make them - I don't think that's the most pressing.

What he won't do is 'rush the rebuild' - meaning signing high dollar free agents, that's what he pretty much said on NBA Radio yesterday.

I'm all in. I want to see some vets moved for picks. I want to see some bad contracts for picks and I want to see young core get a lot of early opportunity to adapt to NBA game.

A full rebuild is in order IMO and we need to take our time. I'm in it for the long haul. For me, all assets are on the table and everything is negotiable. No sacred cows, no untouchables, no "we need some vets around to teach 'em how to win!" It's all flexible until we have secured a franchise talent. The next step is to quickly find him a running mate. THEN shape the team around them. That's the time to pull things off the table, secure the right veterans, and hire the right staff.

I'm like you. I would like to see us pick up extra picks/talent for taking on bad contracts. I was really hoping we'd be able to capitalize on Denver at 14 and pick up Porter.

We're just in talent acquisition. If we have a chance to get any decent who's under 26 years old then do it.
