Re: Roster Rebuild Game
If that's actually true and Dragic and the Suns are in a good place after the fiasco, I am game. I'd be more than fine with Dragic-Okobo at PG. Also want to keep Shaq as he can be on PGs or SGs and I loved his intensity and athleticism. If Ulis is ok not playing, he can stay one more season for depth.
Re: Roster Rebuild Game
I think the Dragic stuff is far fetched.
https://www.miamiherald.com/sports/spt- ... 74104.htmlThere is no appetite to trade Goran Dragic — and the Heat would very much prefer to keep Bam Adebayo and Josh Richardson. But as Riley has said, no one on the roster is untouchable and any could be offered if a superstar becomes available.

Can I interest you in a superstar named Marquese Chriss?There is no appetite to trade Goran Dragic — and the Heat would very much prefer to keep Bam Adebayo and Josh Richardson. But as Riley has said, no one on the roster is untouchable and any could be offered if a superstar becomes available.
Re: Roster Rebuild Game
We can trade Knight to his hometown team of Miami as well.

Re: Roster Rebuild Game
I don't think he has much left in the tank. And I think whatever he does have left would probably contribute much more in San Antonio where he knows the system and coaching staff so well. I think if he went to any other team he'd really drop off.

Looking at the landscape in the NBA, part of me wants us to bypass the 2019 free agent class and target space in 2020. There are going to be a lot of teams with cap space and a good percentage of the top free agents either won't come here (Durant) or are wings (Klay, Butler), where we appear to be set. If we come out of the 2019 offseason with the same team and a 33-year old Goran Dragic, that would be a big disappointment.
I'd look to use Chandler and Dudley to either A) take on productive players whose contracts extend beyond next summer or B) pick up usable assets by picking up dead weight contracts.
An example of 'A' would be something like Dudley/Chandler/Knight/MIL pick for Kevin Love and George Hill. Or Dudley/Chandler/Pick for Kevin Love. (Hill's contract only has a small guarantee in 2019-2020)
An example of 'B' would be Dudley/Chandler/Daniels for J. Noah/Frankie N./Dotson.

Re: Roster Rebuild Game
Who is in the 2020 class? Is that AD/Lillard?
Re: Roster Rebuild Game
The only way we're signing a top tier FA is if Booker, Jackson and Ayton look amazing enough to garner attention around the league and become players other guys want to play with. They also need to recruit other guys because the NBA is all about relationships now. But if we're still a 30 win team and McD and Sarver are still clowns, the club's reputation will hurt that more than anything.
Re: Roster Rebuild Game
All the more reason to take matters in to our own hands and not count on a top tier free agent choosing us over 10 other teams.ShelC wrote: ↑Thu Jul 19, 2018 3:08 pmThe only way we're signing a top tier FA is if Booker, Jackson and Ayton look amazing enough to garner attention around the league and become players other guys want to play with.
