If Miami trades Dragic and matches Johnson......that clearly indicates total rebuild. Pat isn't that stupid.

 

[Hambombs]

Assuming he's staying. We're not getting Durant so they'll use the rest of the money and give it to Wade. At least that's what I hope they do

Pretty much agree with this

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Yes but main focus is KD

What money are you using to pay Pau?

Wouldn't you have to trade Bogut?

Getting Durant was predicated on No Barnes, No Bogut and other guys.

If you match Barnes, how you gonna pay a Crawford or Pau who want big paydays?

 

[Bulletz]

Dude, in Lob City, the forecast is always doom and gloom..lol

I'm just getting a head start on the festivities!

I think we will have a good year and both will stay.

Yea I think you're good.

Same case for trading bogut i think. Barnes they can go into the tax

I don't think he knows how the cap works.

Not matching TJ would restore $1.2 M in space, giving Miami smidge over $20 M for Wade if it chooses to use all on Wade (if no Durant).

According to league sources, the Warriors — while they wait on a decision from Kevin Durant — have reached out to Clippers free agent guard Jamal Crawford and Memphis Grizzlies free agent forward Matt Barnes. But the likelihood of getting either appears slim.

If the Warriors get Durant, all they would have to fill out their roster is a $2.9 million exception and minimum contracts to sign players. Even if Durant returns to OKC, the most the Warriors could spend on a free agent is the $5.6 million mid-level exception.


The Warriors would have to dump their assets to get under the salary cap to have more to spend on free agents. The only player they were willing to do that for is Durant. No KD, the Warriors are content to find what they can to plug into a core came a couple shots from winning back-to-back titles.

Yep. I figured we would
Only have the MLE

Well, that probably won't get you Pau nor Crawford.

Well, maybe Crawford for a year to chase a ring.

But, I doubt it....

He's 36...this is his last payday.

....and Ring chasers.

Maybe David West?

He played for minimum last year.

Never doubt the dubs creativity

 

[Hambombs]

Im actually not convinced if even KD doesnt come that we will match the barnes offer. They can still sign someone for way less whos better

Creativity only gets you so far....

If you want difference makers, ya kinda have to pay them in this climate.

You will have to give up an asset to get somebody to take Bogut.

Maybe let Barnes go to Dallas if they take Bogut too?

How?

His cap hold is not enough.

You would have to sign and trade him...meaning he has to agree to the team that has something you want.

You should probably read this.
