He would probably put us in the playoffs next year which is gonna be a requirement if we want to be players in free agency going forward. Wed still have plenty of cap space the following season. The cap is projected to be 110 mil. I know they're gonna renegotiate the cap but you're crazy if you think the cap is gonna go down. The new head of the players association doesn't play around,

Hmmm, 6th best? S.Curry, Westbrook, Lillard, Lowry, Chris Paul, Kyrie, I. Thomas, Teague are all currently in the playoffs. I wouldn't place in front of any of these. not even over John Wall, Rubio, Reggie Jackson or Dragic either.

Curry, Paul, Westbrook, Lillard and Wall are the only guys I would take over a healthy Conley.You can make an argument for Kyrie but I don't like his playmaking or d. You have to look at all around games and accomplishments. Looking around at rankings on diffrent sites most people have him in the 5 to 6th range too.

You were doing good until you mentioned Rubio, R.Jackson and G.Dragic because i would also take a healthy Conley over those 3 for sure. Conley is also more of a true point guard than both Kyrie and Westbrook are but i'd still obviously take Westbrook over him but i'd give some thought to taking Kyrie over a healthy Conley. Now of course the big thing here is the health of Conley.
