I'm not as savvy with the CBA as I used to be, but I have a question:
Can we go out and sign a free agent a la Hayward, Griffin, Millsap, even Gallo... then go and trade to go over the cap for someone like PG13? I would think we can, but I know we can't go over the cap once we use that cap space for additional FA signings, but does that prohibit going over via trade during the same offseason?
If so, I'd watch for the C's to stay quiet on draft night (make their pick wherever it is), then make the move in FA for another all-star when the moratorium ends, THEN make the aggressive move for another star.
Thomas
Bradley
George
Griffin
Horford
I wouldn't trade Smart and/or Crowder because I want to, but to get something you have to give something. That starting lineup would be a very talented, athletic team to deal with.
I have confidence Rozier can be our backup PG and Brown can handle the wing duties. Add Zizic (or do we have to renounce for next season?) for some toughness inside. Fill out the roster with vet min guys like Green.
