Still interested in you giving out the details of who's available at the numbers you're expecting and who isn't.

Also, if I'm the team the words "stretch provision" or "buyout" don't even cross my mind until Gordon decides on his option. Don't give that weasel any more incentive to just pick his option up to get an instant payday from us.

Well I don't think they would even mention or discuss it until he picked up his option.

I'd almost rather just let next season play out, endure another year with that bum and get an MLE SF, and then take our chances in the Summer of 2016 with some serious cash to work with. It might be better to just endure another year of this guy than for him to frick us for 3 years

You mean SFs? Near max guys like Leonard and Butler (if we stole him it'd take near max) are out of our price range. Marvin Williams got $7 per last year, the cap is escalating and the guys we're talking about should be in the same tier or better than Williams, which means we'll probably pay at least $8-$10 per year and the odds are high that his last name will be Green.

I think the bigger problem to solve might actually be where you get depth from after upgrading SF. Hopefully you can resign Rivers with an exception like they did for Aminu, but you still need a better backup SF. The roster may still be paper thin next year, but it should be more balanced.
