re: We need another impact player

Holiday and Hield will need to kick it up a notch to get them there.

no dispute. they also need to hit on their picks and find depth in FA.

not easy, but there is no realistic alternative to improvement unless they are ready to move Davis. tanking is not an option unless Davis goes down and no one should be pulling for that

You might be better off with the $8.4 million MLE.

sure. not against bringing Evans back or paying Holiday.

more this idea that you sign them to be trade chips. it reeks of "look how smart a gm i am." remind me how Gordon or Ajinca or Anderson worked out on that front... a potential trade is a benefit, not a target. the target is finding guys you think will thrive in your system and help build a winner.

if you don't really want Evans (even at MLE) or Holiday at $20M+, then move them now or don't re-sign. better off w/o "core" players you don't believe in.
