re: If we just lose Anderson and Gordon, what cap space would we have?

Posey was under a different regime

Ariza wasn't amazing but he contributed a lot more than Posey ever did. I wouldn't call that a bad move.

I'd think the fanbase would be more hesitant about throwing big money at a 3 and D / 4th offensive option from a title team.

I understand where you're coming from with a non star 3 and D wing not being worth the max, but with the pieces we have I think a smart 2 way wing could be. Adding a legit 2 way wing with QPon coming back to play SG makes Asik viable for enough minutes that he becomes worth his contract instead of an albatross. I'd be a lot more confident maxing out Batum than Barnes, but it'd be worth every penny of Tyreke and Gordon's salary slot to get a SF that makes the rest of the roster click.

For a team that has made poor personnel moves by acquiring guys like Posey and Ariza I'd think the fanbase would be more hesitant about throwing big money at a 3 and D / 4th offensive option from a title team

Sort of like Morey throwing 5/$33 at Ariza coming off a Lakers championship.

You know, there's only one gm in the league that has signed Ariza twice to a combined 9/$65....
