I'm saying it'd take signing an obvious upgrade for you to let go of Rivers, and with all the uncertainty in the SF market you want to cling tightly. We may strike out and it ends up being the wrong call in hindsight, but in foresight I think most would agree a starting caliber SF is more important to the team than Rivers. If people are unhappy about the state of the roster this year, and there have been quite a few complaints, do you think they'd be any happier next year if all we did was wait out Gordon and add a 2nd string caliber SF with the MLE? I think most would be calling for Demps' head about not moving Gordon and improving the team enough. Sitting still next year isn't an option for Demps.

If we don't make the playoffs this year, it might not be Dell's...or Monty's call.

We may have another GM who decides to sit tight and go for a big splash in 2016. Hard to know at this point.

Rivers is gone. How many times do I have to say that? Quit putting words in my mouth. If anything, for purposes of this discussion, your deflecting on to my Rivers fanhood is becoming the distraction. I'm saying that I've looked at the free agents, and I don't see this massive $3million discrepancy in who we can sign or who we can't. You think $10mil / year will get it done for Jeff or Draymond? Maybe the latter. Again, restricted though.
