The Pelicans will have to overpay to get someone to come here.

i just don't think barnes is a guy we can overpay for. he'd fit and would be solid but i don't think he has "top starter" potential (i mean that where he's sub-All Star level but a really good starter). it's just a scary proposition due to the new landscape of the NBA salary cap (and that admittedly exists with most potential acquisitions).

i think barnes can be a 15-16 ppg guy on a team like our's and he's solid on D. he's a pretty good 3 point shooter. the gamble is that are those guys going to be getting those major contracts? is there going to be a mini-bubble due to the big cap money that will hurt us in a few years? that's teh gamble

the "money ball" move is to try to trade for assets under "old cap" contracts and roll the dice there

There's some FAs like Nicholson, Harkless, Bazemore, Marvin Williams, and Crabbe that can probably give you what Barnes can at a lot lower price.

Barnes just has that "potential" tag and a very low usage rate.

You need assets to do that. We don't have any besides the pick. Money ball move is to develop your own talent.

I'd punch my mom in the face for a guy like Gordon Hayward on this team.


Jrue/Hayward/AD would be awesome.



Realistic:

Barnes
Parsons
Batum
