Yeah, we might have to do it by committee. I'd hate to lock in to a less than great solution at SF, but waiting isn't nessarily going to get us our SF either. The important thing is to not miss on whoever we go after. This team needs to build up it's asset base so it can be in the discussion for a disgruntled Butler or Paul George or maybe attracting Hayward.

I think that last sentence is a good argument for why you go after a Bazemore/Dudley instead of going all in on a Barnes or Parsons.

Those two players are better values and are more moveable pieces. So they have a much lower likelihood of turning into negative assets and a decent chance to remain at or above their asset value at signing. If you want to position yourself to make a major move, you need those type of contracts lying around.
