Thread: DEN/DET

    DEN/DET

    Continuing the theme I've begun...

    Today's NBA is all about managing the salary cap. Staying under the tax threshold, getting value for money players, removing "bloated" contracts etc

    Already took a look at the Bulls... tax issues... Deng and Boozer the candidates to dumped. The fact they can amnesty Boozer hurts the trade idea though... so we'll move along...

    Denver: $67.9 mil committed next season for the following players:

    Iggy, McGee, Gallinari, Chandler, Dre Miller, Koufus, Lawson, Randolph, Fournier, Faried, Jordan Hamilton, Quincy Miller

    Free agents = Brewer, Mozgov...

    How likely are they to retain those free agents? They don't have the room under the cap to keep those guys... though they probably dont want to keep Mozgov anyway.

    If you throw in a first round pick the Nuggets don't have any wiggle room to re-sign Brewer... and he's pretty good value all things considered.

    So:

    Maggette to Denver for Gallinari...BOOM! now they have plenty of room to retain Brewer and add their picks.

    So Denver get some room to breath, room to retain Brewer and room to add their picks

    WTF do we get?

    We get a SF that can drain 3's all day long, locked in to a 4 year deal that pays him just over $10 mil per season... OMG! What a waste of money! Dude couldn't stop a bus out there!

    But we'll have Drummond protecting the paint... and he can make up for a lot of shit. Right now it's all about getting guys that can space the floor for Monroe and Dre to wreck shop in the paint.

    What does adding Gallinari do to our cap space this off-season? We'd still have approx $15 mil to add other players... and this team:

    Drummond/Slava
    Monroe/Jerebko
    Gallinari/Prince/Middleton
    Singler/English
    Knight/Stuckey

    Use that $15 mil wisely and we could be a playoff team next season...
    Rise like Lions after slumber,
    In unvanquishable number -
    Shake your chains to earth like dew
    Which in sleep had fallen on you -
    Ye are many - they are few.
