All of the above.

TP. I created this poll for my own benefit since I would love to keep them all (on current contracts or slightly more) but I didn't know who would be best to stick around.

Only reason I didn't pick Crowder is because he might want more $ than we could/should give him and might have some contenders calling him this summer.
The Nets will finish with the worst record and the Celtics will end up with the 4th pick.

- Me (sometime in January)

Make a priority of resigning Bass and Crowder, then try to get Datome and Jerebko back. I would love to see Bass staying here, he is our most consistent player, has gone through a tough situation for years and never complained or caused locker-room issues.

Plus, if Danny didn't find any viable deal to ship Bass to a contender for the past two years, it's clear that he belongs here, hopefully without overpaying him.

I'm glad people are responding because this is what I wanted to see. I guess Datome and Jerebko's hot starts here made me see it different. Sign me up for more Bass and Crowder!

All.  But I can see bass gone.  He may be to valuable to other teams and he's about the oldest

I wouldn't commit to Bass long-term, and I think at least one team will.
How do you feel about websites where people with similar interests share their opinions?
I'm forum!

This is a tough scenario , we got to make room for our draft picks. We got 15 man on our roaster and only Shav is one that you can say we have no need for.
plus it is easy to get attached to our current group.
It will be interesting off season.

Unfortunately I feel Bass is gone, he's going to be the most expensive to sign.

I think we should sign Crowder, I think he has upside remaining, and I like his overall defense. He can cover SF's and PF's, and even some SG's. He's getting much more comfortable with his offensive game, and he's young.

One of the two, Gigi or JJ should be signed for the "right money", both has good points, and work hard.

I'm not so sure about that.  Bass was supposedly 'available' at varying times over the past 3 seasons for any team that would make a reasonable offer for him and it never happened.  The market for him may not be what you think.

He's undersized, has poor hands and - if you look at his career- has been off and on defensively.  They may be able to bring him back with a favorable contract from their perspective.  I'm just not sure how badly they want him back.  I think there are better options out there - at least as far as starters go.

The ones that come cheaply or give us fair market value.   I would not want to overpay any of these guys  especially Crowder.

We have the right to match on Crowder so I would be shocked if he leaves. In order to create cap space Bass will need to be renounced so I think Bass only comes back if we can't get someone better.
DKC:  Rockets
CB Draft: Memphis Grizz
Players: Klay Thompson, Jabari Parker, Aaron Gordon
Next 3 picks: 4.14, 4.15, 4.19

I voted Crowder due to youth, defensive ability and offensive progress. Not an easy call given the relatively small sample size. I have been loving Datome's play lately, making 3's and playing high energy defense (I think he had at least 2, maybe 3 blocks last night). Jerebko has had some good nights and also plays high energy and Bass has been playing great since Sully went down. I would be open to keeping Bass for 2 more years which I think is possible given the lack of interest around the league. Of course, all of this depends on who we pick up in the offseason.
Overall, every player on this list plays basketball the right way. There is no quit in any of them which is what makes them so enjoyable to watch for me.

I think there's a decent chance that Bass sticks around and either KO or Sully gets traded on draft night.  Pick one young guy to develop, maybe draft another big if one's available, and keep Bass around as the steady veteran to provide leadership and solid play.  I can't see Bass getting a massive offer from elsewhere, and since they're committed it seems to getting better organically, Bass is a good guy to have around.  You can't have a team of ONLY young players, you want to be young and improving but with a few vets around.

Crowder; not sure they want him to be starting long-term, but he's certainly show himself worthy of re-signing.  Did not expect him to be able to provide any real scoring when they signed him, but he can score.  He does look like James Posey-Reincarnate out there.

None of them.

Like to free up the cap space and hopefully pick up a better player or two.

I think that Bass' play this year will earn him at least one if not several MLE offers from contenders that could use him off their bench.  OKC and NO come to mind immediately.  Atlanta, Houston and Dallas would use him as could Cleveland.   not really any contenders that couldn't use him

All. I'd rather have this collection of guys than place hope in Sullinger losing weight.
Long-form is far from dead, but please refrain from paragraph-laden posts! Who wants to read that?!
