I would love Faried, but after looking at what it would likely cost with cap space and picks, no thanks.

I know Denver wants Jrue.
If the season starts and Galloway and Frazier can play the 1 at a level not that far off from what Jrue provides, would swapping Jrue for Faried be an option?

I don't expect Galloway to be that good, good enough to say losing Jrue woudln't hurt that much, but what if he does provide enough offense to go with his stellar defense to be a good enough replacement for Jrue? We'd have to resign him at a higher level, but no where near what Jrue will get.
We should have a good bit of cap space then for next year.
Would Denver get Jrue's rights and get to resign him?

Big what if assuming Galloway can be as good as Jrue.

I don't recall if this was a Pels blog article or podcast, but they were asking a Knicks blogger about Galloway and he pretty much said you don't want him running you're offense. He was fine as a secondary guy on offense, but the times they asked him to be the lead guy because of injury he didn't play nearly as well. A lot of people are penciling him in ahead of Frazier on the depth chart but because Frazier and Jrue are the only guys on the team that can really run an offense, I think Galloway is the 5th guard if Buddy starts strong, maybe even 6th if Pondexter plays some SG.
