fill roster with rookie FA's - vet min guys
Keep the space to absorb bad contracts and picks during the year. You know there will be come of those available.
Get another lottery pick or 2 next June and keep building a team that will win for years!
you must want ppl to get fired..that's a 10 win roster, with at least 2 20 game losing streaks
Not if the coach, coaches. At minimum, we would surpass our 17 win total. We were in several games last year where we were leading in the 4th quarter, and Fiz let it slip away by letting cold shooters continue shooting, or not taking out a player who was getting torched. Bring in Morris from Boston as that needed PF. Let's get this show on the road!
Whatever system fiz was trying to run, he clearly didn't have the type of players he could do it with, and he is not experience enough to make the adjustment. Giving him a very similar roster is going to get similar results..
Like i said, if they can't at least put a 42 win roster together with the flexibility they currently have, IMO...that's a high level of incompetence from a FO.

pretty hard to judge a coach when he clearly had a mandate to go after the #1 draft pick.

those are the type of vets you put around your barret
0% chance Butler accepts a 3 year deal, especially at this point of his career. It’s either full max or go to hell for him.
plus how are you ever going to get brogdon, butler, randle and cousins for $74M.
and i'm SURE this was an oversight but you forgot frank.....
you see what I'm saying
no. my question was:

I doubt we can get all 4, unless some takes a serious pay cut, but i think we can do 3 out of the 4
Boogie for one year? 25mm? Pass on Brogdon. He is 26 and will want a fair wage. Butler can get max money. We should not.
Randle 2 years at 20mm each. Inflation a bitch. still 35mm for Kawhi. Not a champion mix BTW. But fun and could make noise.
Im not in Kawhi's head and I put the odds low at best. But that's a potential "stab".
Kawhi
Randle
Boogie
Smith
JR Barret
Im looking multi year I get cap flex each of the next two years and my Rookies are ripening to play or trade. Either way assets are rising.
Im not a big boogie fan but I liked his effort on the Warriors. If it blends you can always sign him long term. But he will get paid more than what Warriors did.

How about Kawhii, Randle and re-sign DJ? Defense wins and DJ is a better defender and rebounder than Cousins.

I'm still going with one of my original guesses.
C Robinson
PF Marcus Morris
SF Knox
SG Barrett
PG Smith
Bench Rotation: Elfrid Payton, Trier, Dotson, Vonleh, Markieff Morris
Deep Bench: Allen, Jenkins, Lance, Brazdeikis, Kornet
IR: Maybe or Maybe not KD
post FA update:
Payton
RJ
Knox
Randle
Portis
DSJ/allen/rookie FA
Ellington/Trier
Bullock/Iggy
Gibson
Robinson/rookie FA
I now think that Frank will be traded during camp for a pick. I am against this but the writing is on the wall for Frank. He best be unreal in camp to stay in NY. Dotson will likely be gone too.
Allen and a few of the Rookie FA's wll round out the team.
