re: Crazy Ideas about Draft moves for Pels

We're talking about replacing Tyreke and Gordon. Also, if you are able to pull in a 3 and D wing like Batum or even Wilson Chandler, you'd almost always be able to hide him on the 3rd worst perimeter player.

This is the biggest negative about him.

Unless it's a gentry type offense(or maybe atkinson) it's a hard sell given that you'd have to move other parts around.

I agree, but Gentry was his head coach his 1st 2 years in the league, so if Gentry does end up being the coach that changes things, both from his desirability to the team and probably his willingness to consider coming here.

ETA: Just realized Dragic is going to be a $20 million max player, not a $15 million max player and that's a deal breaker. Not only is that a lot of cap space long term, it makes you give up too much in the short term, because just like going after DeAndre Jordan you have to give up 2 starters to create the cap space and also give up exceptions that let you keep bench guys like Ajinca and Cunningham.
