Re: Welcome Marreese Speights
Signing Speights to a deal doesn't mean we're stuck with him if other opportunities become available. If we sign him, and it turns out that we need that little bit of extra money to sign some other big name free agent in 2014, why couldn't we just do what Memphis did? Package Speights and one of those first rounders to some rebuilding team to get that cap space back?
If we get a good young player who fits, plays well, and wants to be here for a reasonable amount, then sign him. Maybe that other opportunity doesn't arise, or maybe we can trade him for space, or maybe the incoming star would be willing to take a bit less because he'd rather be on a winning team.
