Punt and wait for 2018 FA by giving KO a one year $15 million deal with team option for 2018.
We won't have cap space in 2018 unless we make major roster changes. IT, AB, and Smart will all be free agents and their cap holds should take away any chance at having max space
I expect AB to be traded on draft night. But best case is say Nets (if #1) and AB for 76ers(3 or 4), Lakers (5 or 6), and Saric. Let AJ, Zeller, and Jerekbo go this off season. Bring in Yab and Zizc to replace them.
Start of 2017/18
IT, Brown, Crowder, Horford, KO
Rozier, Smart, Jackson*, Saric*, Zizc
DJ, Mickey, Isaac*, Yab, Wolves pick.
Plenty of cap available for a max guy in 2018 if ya don't pick option on KO, DJ and Mickey. Then it's starters of IT, Brown, Crowder, Horford, and your pick of PG or Cousins. With a young bench lead by Smart who should by then be a 6th man of the year candidate.
