Still interested in you giving out the details of who's available at the numbers you're expecting and who isn't.
You mean SFs? Near max guys like Leonard and Butler (if we stole him it'd take near max) are out of our price range. Marvin Williams got $7 per last year, the cap is escalating and the guys we're talking about should be in the same tier or better than Williams, which means we'll probably pay at least $8-$10 per year and the odds are high that his last name will be Green.
I think the bigger problem to solve might actually be where you get depth from after upgrading SF. Hopefully you can resign Rivers with an exception like they did for Aminu, but you still need a better backup SF. The roster may still be paper thin next year, but it should be more balanced.

My hatred for EG grows...

That's what I'm saying though.
1) The crop isn't that great.
2) We're betting that we will be able to sign the couple guys out there at face value.
3) We're also betting that Austin Rivers is going to want to stick around for less money than his option contact. He's as good as gone. That edge he plays with that the believers think will make him a valuable player someday, is also the same edge that will see him leave for more playing time before taking less money from us.
Dell isn't perfect, and I'm a pretty big fan of his. I'd be just like every other NBA fanboy though if I said he made the right move here. I don't think it was the right call. You mention resigning Rivers for less. What if we lose Rivers and strike out on our targeted SF? We end up with some overpaid body at SF and even less depth than your hypothetical paper thin bench.
What if Benson isn't willing to pay $12 million for this jackass to just go away?
Giving up Rivers at $3m and losing his future RFA rights was a dumb arse move just to have to accommodate Eric Gordon's contract.
