Why is Love listed twice?
Varejao is not good, bro, he's getting $9.7M over the next two years.
Tristan Thompson will want $13M/yr+; he's not worth that and numerous posters have demonstrated this by looking at other players salaries around the league.
Mozgov is likely to be retained at decent value, but the great deal he's on now will end.
Shump is an RFA.
At what point are we saving money on any of these 5 players?
Tiago Splitter would be a name I'd target for our front-court, and he's been mentioned numerous times and is also mentioned in the media. I've also argued that we should think about going for a big-time player with the Haywood contract. My argument is not about going below the cap, or saving Dan money, but about doing one of two things - adding another player who can create for himself (if we continue to play iso-ball), or shoring up our reserves.
My point is that we shouldn't say these guys are off the trade block, and we should definitely explore the potential for trades.
Anyone thinking I'm advocating they should be traded simply for the sake of trading them is getting lost in the nuance of the argument.
