So many option.

Team, with renouncing everyone and signing 3 picks, would have right about 30 million available.

so there are many options.

1 - Offer Vucevic a contract starting at 25 mill per season. I cannot see Orlando matching that as they have other, far more pressing needs than a center, that while he is a very good one, takes time away from Bamba.
They have no wings outside of Fournier, so they can potentially be open to a sign and trade for Vucevic involving Hayward and a pick.
Vooch and Augustine, for Hayward and pick 20

2 - With the 30 ish mill available, team could take that and make 2 offers. First being a 10 million per year offer for Bryant, and a second offer of 20 million for Brogdon.
Gives the team a youthful center and a younger PG that fits the timelines. Milwaukee would most likely be open to a sign and trade bringing in Smart in this scenario as well giving them defense at the sg spot moving forward

3 - Split the available space on Rubio and Randle, similar as above

4- Offer Vucevic a contract starting at about 22 million, hopefully pry him away, and use the other 9.5 million to offer Bryant. 

5- Burn the streets, cry into your pillow, eat lots of ice cream, follow a new team. Wallow in despair.

Use the space for guys giving them 1 or 2 year deals. Have as much money as you can for 2021 free agents. Do not tie up to 27 mil on one player.

need more options to really reflect the "lots of options" we have now.  none of the above are appealing nor sensible.

Back at ya!

If I had to choose one of these options I'd go Brogdon and Bryant. Two guys who I believe can be 4th and 5th guys on an elite team. I reckon the Jays and Hayward would be the 3 key guys on offence, and Brogdon would allow them to do that without getting in the way.

Me too, Bryant can be good enough to allow tatum or hayward to be the PF as well. Which is potentially a huge benefit

I'm taking the "wait and see what Danny does" approach.  that, and i'm not enamored with using cap space on mediocre/decent players (Brogdon, Randle, Rubio and Vucevic) or unproven players (Bryant). 

At this point, even though the C's could have the cap space to sign a really good FA, with Kyrie and Al jumping ship, I don't see C's landing anyone that will make an impact that gets us to the top of the conference.  signing any combo of those players may indeed get this team to a low seed in the playoffs which sticks us on mediocrity treadmill where we don't get a chance at a really good draft pick and have to rely on the development of the J's and recovery of Hayward to have any hope of improving the franchise.  not the way I think the team should go right now.

I'll take the last option to go and the check, please.

I don't think you rush to spend money this off season on long term deals.

Waste of time Dallas would match a max offer.
