Oh boy. Hope I didn't open Pandora's box. All I wanted to state is that I thought I did a good job not taking on any bad contracts.
Nah, I'm not gonna get into a big debate over it. Just wanted to make a point.
The majority of my players are locked up for a few years anyway, at which point, I'll be in rebuilding mode. Kobe is the alpha and omega for my team, so when he is done, it's blow-up city. I figure I got two, maybe three, seasons to win rings.
Boozer has two years left after this (one more than Kobe/Gortat). If Kobe wants to retire at that point, I'll just tank, let Gortat go and wait for Boozer (and a few others) to come off the books, re-up Kawhi, still have Hill locked up for reasonable money, and go after FA's then.
The only player I would stand to lose in the near future might be Blatche. His one-year vet min contract he is currently on is a steal. He's going to get paid decently by someone next year. My only hope of keeping him is the $6.5m that represents Antoine's expiring contract. If I'm really lucky, Camby officially retires at seasons end, freeing up an additional $4.5m.
