Time for a change?

I am going to be real interested who Brad brings in as FA. That really is going to be the moves he makes this offseason.

I think it is the TPE rather than FA. I don't think they can get the quality the need in FA. They need another guy in that Pritchard to D White level. They aren't available for MLE money ($15mil). Using the TPE to get a $20-27mil player looks the best path forward.

Which also means giving up Hauser in order to stay below the luxury tax.

I half agree with you Who.  I think we might get a difference maker via a sign-and-trade using the TPE.

I'm pretty happy having the MLE this year.  There should be quality players available. Guys like Sexton, Simons, etc.

To me, the best approach isn't necessarily using $25 million on one player via the TPE. Rather, I think we need to spread out the money.  Even so, it's how to fill all of our holes (starter level center, rotation PG, rotation scoring guard, Hauser replacement) with the resources we have.

Agree. Think they need to come out of this with a center and some sort of combo guard.
