I like that plan but I don't think it would fit in our current salary space. I count 32 millions without stretching Calderon and paying Mudiay. Plus, I would switch Schved and Mudiay. Let Mudiay get accustomed to the game without too much pressure. He'll get crushed against the Westbrook, Irving, Wall, etc.

This is the concept i want to go by. Unless we can get M Gasol, Aldridge, or Love, we settle for adding Monroe, a defensive big like Koufos, and some rentals, then maybe just sit tight for the year. Make a run at Durant or Horford in 2016. But for now Mudiay, Galloway, Melo, Monroe, and Koufos is sufficient to make improvements.

Starting Line up:

Mudiay
Hardaway
Melo
Lou Admunson
DeAndre Jordan

Depth is

Back court
Galloway, Calderon, Shved- ideally upgrade with 2G vs. my back ups - but I'm going with 2PGs at times.

Front court
Lance Thomas, Cole Aldrich, Early, Thanasis

If I can't get DeAndre, then I guess I'm settling for Monroe & hopefully saving some scratch for better filler elsewhere.

Roll the dice and hope he gets/stays healthy. His deal is longer than Jose, but only $5m more per year.

youre right. correction made to buy out jose. also might as well start mudiay, its not like shved can guard westbrook, etc etc

Heres you problem

Danny Green is getting 8-10mm
Monroe is getting a max
Scvheyd is getting an MLE or close to it
Anjica will get 5-6mm
IF Gasol is gone we will have trouble dealing with Memphis for Koufus(Koufus to me is a 30-70)

Mudiay is a possibility but I dont have faith in the NYK to draft a player like Mudaiy.

C Koufos
PF Monroe
SF Anthony
SG Galloway
PG Mudiay

Get ready for Durant or Horford in 2016. That is the best course of action right now. Good balance of offense and defense, and should be able to get into the playoffs.
