    We are beyond cap anyway....

    If you mean hard cap? I disagree that a 15m player would put us past hard cap.

    Harden had supreme efficiency in OKC playing off the ball.

    He doesnt handle 75% of the time right now. That is a lin lovers myth.

    Also, Bledsoe turns ball over more than Lin because he does far more with it. By proportion of touches he is better.

    Trade the coach first before he ruins another PG

    the one thing mchale has done well is develop point guards, lowry may have hated him (and every other coach) but he got better, so did Dragic, sometimes you just have a low ceiling to work with.

    Chose Dragic because he plays well off the ball, good catch and shoot player, plays above average defense and does not have a history of any injuries (most likely because his game does not rely on athleticism). All that being said, I would offer 12 million per year as the MAX salary. Not 20 million, no point guard outside of Stephen Curry, Chris Paul and maybe Russell Westbrook deserves that much money.
