If Dallas strikes out with DAJ I bet you they throw a max offer sheet at Draymond Green. And GS will match.

At least the Rockets are still in the discussion. The ONLY team that has yet to make CAP ROOM, interestingly enough.
Ok.... Day 1 of free agency has officially fallen off the rocker. Not necessarily because of player movement but holy crap the price of even resigning your own guys is ridiculous. How do Steph Curry, and James Harden feel about making what less than 14/15 mil these next couple years?

Portland will just let LMA walk away or prefers to have a S&T, then the rockets could still have a chance, who knows.
If we agree to terms with Draymond Green. Would we be able to offer a yearly contract such as: 13/15/16/17? If so, do it. Trade Ariza/Papa/Jones/Dorsey/Prigioni for Lawson or Lowry. (maybe require 3 team deal, but sheds 18 million. This puts our cap at $54,491,799 I believe. Agree to terms with Green to deal above. Puts us right at the cap figure (without the 2 million increase that is rumored) Then go over the cap to resign our guys and draft picks? Lowry-Lawson/Johnson Harden/Brewer Green/Dekker Dmo/Smith/Harrell Howard/Capela
I think it's because Ariza would be involved. Won't trade him if no LMA obviously. If we do, Brew and KJ take over the SF rotation.
I'm going to start pounding the table for Patrick Patterson soon. If Toronto has to clear space to sign Wes Matthews, I'd be all in favor of trading Papa for him, especially if Smith walks.
