It is early and the speculation will go on and new ideas will come. But at this time and as it will be the game for weeks to come, which reconstruction plan you think GMBS should decide ? Of course I try to take only the realistic (financialy and valuably) options proposed so far. I try not to developp to much what is developping in other posts
Plan A
[/glow]
This plan is basically saying 2 things : we had an unpredictable bad year because of unluck, we all vastly overeact and in the same time we are not yet a conteder, so not the best time to go All In
This plan consist on staying path, thinking Kemba is adapted to be the 3rd guy with a good mentality for it and that our youth will soon, even next year, give solid bench or even starting minutes. Just resign Fournier and deep bench min vets.
The core A : Kemba-Fournier-Brown-Tatum-Timelord Smart-Langford-Nesmith-Parker-Thompson (...)
Plan B 1
This plan consider that what we can have in a trade with Kemba is enough to build better base, without restrictions, with more bench players, with shorter contracts.
In that way, many posted the Bulls possibilty. Then S/T for Collins with multiple picks and youth (say Nesmith with what Hawks may want) But as Nick posted we should loose Fournier cause Apron.
The core B1 Smart-Brown-Tatum-Collins-Timelord Pritchard-Satoranski-Langford-Young-Thompson
Plan B 2
The same idea than last one but dealing with the Clipps
The core B2 : Smart-Brown-Tatum-Morris-Timelord Pritchard-Berverly-Langford-Parker/Nesmith-Thompson
Plan C
The idea is that in dumping Walker and Thompson salary (+Edwards and ev Grant) can create a little space and that there is interesting players on FA in playmaking and defensive specialist. We would also be far from lux tac again, could use all the TPEs, a new one for Fournier (or resign him) and full MLE to sign good bench players. Give the cap to either Lowry or Dragic. Trade Walker to NY for Mitchell Rob + 1 pick. Trade 1 pick + Pritchard (saying) to Sacto for Barnes (or for Jerami Grant= 2/3 picks + another young like Nesmith).
The core C : Lowry (or Dragic)-Brown-Tatum-Barnes-Timelord Smart-Bradley-Nesmith (Langford)-Olynyk-Robinson
Plan D
This plan is more about half Armagedon. Separating the duo Tatum-Brown. Not believing in their complementary. Follow Jeff Goodman the Great. So I will just go to the Brown+ picks VS Beal proposition.But many other alternatives (KAT for Wrown + mult 1st). But we have to give the rest of TPE to sign him for the difference of salaries and we would be locked to unsign Fournier and whatever else but mins.
The core D : Walker-Beal-Langford-Tatum-Timelord Pritchard-Smart-Nesmith-Parker-Thompson
Plan E
Armagedon lineup with Cunningham, tanking and multiple first for Brown and Tatum. Trade Tatum to Houston for Woods, Cunningham pick and multiple first. Trade Brown to GSW for Wiggins, Wieseman + multiple picks. Trade Smart, Walker, Thompson for whatever we get.
Of course every option can have variants and I may forgot many options. But on what is proposed, what is your choice at this day ?
