Aside from having to distribute money to your existing players to get to the floor, what are the penalties for not reaching it? If that's all you have to do and that makeup money is only a one year commitment, this seems better than throwing a 4 year monstrosity type contract at someone who isn't close to worth it and ruining your flexibility just to reach the floor.

---

The amount you're under gets divided up and paid to the team's current players, i think that's it.

So yea, there's not much reason to go out of your way to reach it from what I gather, especially if you're giving out multi year deals, like you said.

You need to work on your troll; it's been too obvious for the last couple of seasons.

Crowder is the epitome of 'just a guy' IMO. Average starter doesn't really move the needle positively or negatively.

---

I'd say he's above average. Not going to be a 1-2 guy, but as a 3rd guy he plays and fits his role perfectly.

Offensively, solid: 14PPG, shot 45.0/37.1/81.0 the last 2 years. Solid passing skills (2:1 AST:TO).

Defensively, 13th among all SFs in DRPM (Comparison LeBron is 9, Giannis is 11), RPM is 5th overall.

Decent rebounder 5.5 in 32 minutes

He's pretty complete, he's just not elite at anything.

So you'd trade Brown now with much less value than he may have if he reaches his ceiling?

I think it's a no brainer than Brown is the better asset at this moment, due to his potential.

---

The biggest gripe people had about Brown was his low floor, but everyone agreed he had arguably the highest ceiling of the top 3 picks.

Brown has more value to rebuilding teams, agreed...Younger and higher potential. For a contender, Crowder is worth more than Brown.

If Boston is going to make a deal with the goals of contending now, more than likely the team they trade with will want Brown to rebuild and that's fine. He's shown spurts of what he could be, but if Boston intends to contend now, than yes I would trade Brown before Crowder. You'd still have Tatum who has an equally high ceiling as Brown. 3 wings is a logjam if 2 can't shoot well. If 1 can't shoot well, that's a lot different.

Let's see If another offers a multi year deal. Atlanta may be in play imo

Wiz are gonna match the Otto Porter deal, watch the Nets throw big money at KCP.

not sure how i feel about the rudy gay pickup yet. how he fits in to the offense.

could we see 2 pg's and 2 sf's on the floor?
can he put his character issues aside and contribute?
can he stay healthy a full season?
