Maybe Josh Smith/AB/Andray Blatche with some other players would allow Orlando to improve, with about 15-20m in cap space...
If they sign Josh Smith and AB without greatly overpaying
They can sign both players and still have money left over to spend, it would make sense before Harris's max kicks in to add talent
Or they can do trades with other teams with their cap space, as Harris's contract could be signed last for his extension

We will soon come to find out why the free agents picked up were not picked up by their own teams. Don't understand why Phil didn't p ick up Smith, Bags, and Shved. We saw first hand that when healthy and given minutes they produced. Think they were all worth 4M compared to these other unproven players. Some of which already have shown to be second or third team. ND would have rather picked up a cheap Defensive big and those three instead of Lopez at 14M.

maybe because Jason Smith and Bargs have a negative impact when they play.

Everyone on last years squad had a negative impact, reason why we had such a crappy season. Think if you put any of the guys we signed this year in same situation, they would have done just as bad or worse. Just think we are talking up guys based on hopes. I hope I am wrong
