    T-Mac is available on the cheap, and he once beat Kobe 1-on-1.

    In all seriousness Faired has fit in well and will be a great backup for Capela when he comes back, we do need a backup 4 but I think we need players who can actually shoot since it’s literally the most important part of our system.

    In order of priority i’d probably go:

    1. Ellington
    2. Morris
    3. Taj
    4. Dedmon

    According to Bima, there is some trickery where we could sign one and then wait until the last day and reup House but I don't see it as likely either. To me it is more likely we pay for our mistakes and TF gets to save money.

    Honestly would rather have House back than anyone that will be on the market. I'm no Bima, but I'm hoping that all of Morey's effort to get us under the cap today allow us to reach an agreement with him soon.

    I think he’d be too slow. Maybe move Faired over to backup 4?

    How much are we under luxury tax threshold? Say it’s one million, we cannot pay more than that to the bought out player to avoid LT? Right?

    If true, aren’t we royally screwed? We can forget about buyout market too.

    Randolph is old and fat, hasn't played a game in what? One year? Let him retire in peace.
