    Beverley/Canaan/Johnson
    Harden/Daniels
    Ariza/Miller
    Young/Jones
    Howard/

    If we can use Lin's TPE and Motiejunas to nab us Young or Ilyasova, then sign Miller to a 1 year MLE, I wouldn't feel as terrible about this off season.

    Mavs can only offer Room Exception so they are out, Stein is just including them because Dallas. I'd offer him a bloated 1 year deal.

    Eh, I'd take him, but I'm not losing my mind for that pickup. (Unless it's with the MLE, but I'd assume it'll be a large one year deal)

    We got Daniels, and let's watch this Andre Dawkins in Vegas, too.

    The most Dallas can offer is the room exception, or 2.7 million per year for 2 years.

    I imagine we are offering a $4 million contract with a non-guaranteed 2nd year.

    I really want Mike. Him and Troy off the bench would be lethal. We would just need two solid bigs off the bench and which are going to be hard to find.

    The bomb squad off the bench would be fun.

    For the right price I'd love him and Allen on our team. Our game is the long ball and we need real sharp shooters.

    I'd offer the full MLE for one year and a team option. Then go after the rest of the bench with the BAE and trade exceptions.

    Miller is awful defensively now, even worse than Harden, so no thanks.

    I like Miller as a reserve, he's not worth more than $3 mil

    I have an irrational desire to have him on our team.

    He's bad defensively and he's pretty slow too, but 46% from 3 is really hard to pass up. He's most likely headed to Cleveland though.
