Just like 2009, I'd rather use the cap space to facilitate a trade, maybe pick up a lottery pick. Something similar to Boozer's situation plus a 1st. Not for the player, for the pick and to maintain flexibility.
Meeks is a guy that you use the mini MLE or that value on, IMO. Who cares if he helps us win 3-4 more games so we squeak into the #8 spot?
It just seems like we keep playing this game wrong.
