Are we really planning/hoping to target a big money SF in 2015?

I'm not sure I see a viable big money target considering our lack of trade assets. Assuming no Gordon via opt out or trade, and cutting all of our scrubs we could get to about $11 million in cap space if the cap rises to $67 million as expected. You can get to about $13.5 if you dump Rivers too. But even if we had all of that money, who would we spend it on?

2015 FA SFs
DeMarre Carroll
Jeff Green (Player Option)
Jimmy Butler (RFA out of price range)
Mike Dunleavy
Jae Crowder (RFA)
Draymond Green (RFA)
Khris Middleton (RFA)
Chase Buddinger (Player Option)
Tobias Harris (RFA)
Thaddeus Young (Player Option)
Marcus Morris (RFA)
Markieff Morris (RFA)
Gerald Green
Dorell Wright
Rudy Gay (Likely out of price range)
Kawhi Leonard (RFA out of price range)
Danny Green

Potential Trade Targets
PJ Tucker
Wilson Chandler
Martell Webster
Michael Kidd-Gilchrist
Trevor Ariza (What are the odds of history repeating itself?)

The Morris twins should be taken off. They are stretch-4s.

Danny Green would be at the top my list of reasonable players. Knockdown 3 pt shooter that can defend. Should cost around 6-7 mil per yr.

I'd like Danny Green and Draymond Green. Basically split the 11m over two players. I'm not sure what Draymond would require, but I think 6 or 7m for Danny would be appropriate. If Draymond would be too expensive, I'd be fine with one of the Morris twins, along with Danny Green.

I really like Gerald Green, but he doesn't seem like a guy Monty would like.

Thad Young

He'll likely be traded this year... but if for some reason he doesnt, theres no way hes opting in

Wouldnt mind Middleton or Green either.

I think if we get one we will either do a S&T for one of those restricted FA's or we'll simply trade for one. All the more reason to hope Gordon has a huge year.
