You're the GM this offseason. What do you do?

That's why Korver for Crabbe and Dinwiddie is more realistic. Brooklyn gets to keep Russell, add a max guy and probably add another nice piece like Randle.

If we strike out in free agency, I'm happy with this. Dinwiddie is good and cheap. We keep our picks. Crabbe is a massive expiring we can use at the deadline. It's not sexy, but it's not terrible.

I think they can dump Crabbe for cheaper than that personally. I'd likely be fine with that move, but I'm guessing Nets might want a little bit more.

What team is taking $18 million Crabbe? Maybe Atlanta. But at what cost?

Not many teams could absorb Crabbe AND Dinwiddie. That's $30 million. I doubt LA, LA, NY, Dallas see that as a win. Once again, Atlanta comes to mind.

Nets gotta eat Crabbe

 

[NUMBERICA]

Why would the Nets trade Dimwiddle for Korver lol, even if it's for cap dump purposes there will be plenty of other teams willing to offer more for Dimwiddie than a guy on the verge of retirement. Orlando instantly comes to mind along with Detroit and Phoenix.

They wouldn’t be trading for Korver lol they would be trading for two max slots lol

lol

You can also throw in picks lol the post was mostly about salary matching since you can’t do anything if the CBA won’t allow it lol

I'm pretty sure Atlanta has said they would take back salary in exchange for draft picks, so that makes sense.

Cleveland or Atlanta for sure. Cleveland can do it at the draft with Smith's non-guaranteed contract. His contract is grandfathered into the old rules and he can be used as "cap space" in a trade.

Atlanta has an assload of space they won't use. Crabbe is not an 18M player, but he's also not Mozgov or Mahinmi… he's useful when healthy at a position that doesn't have great depth. It's only like 12-15M in dead money imo.

I don't think they need two max slots... moving Crabbe at the draft gives them a max slot while retaining Russell's caphold.

1. Because the Jazz would include a pick
2. Because Korver has one year left on his deal and only partially guaranteed. So his full guarantee salary matches with Dinwiddie then they can waive and stretch at 3 million (1 million per year for the next 3).

Maybe there's a better contract out there they can match on with Dinwiddies salary, but IDK. Every dollar counts if they are trying for 2 max slots.

For the record, In my scenario, the Jazz are already under the cap ~$5 million. What I don’t know is if that effectively subtracts off of Dinwiddie’s cap number.

Even still, Korver’s $3.75 million caphold wouldn’t be able to match the ~$5.5 million of Dinwiddie’s salary at that point.

TLDR; stretching Korver and Exum gets you super close to being able to absorb Dinwiddie’s salary outright.

Getting to two max slots allows them to pitch in a fundamentally different way. I don’t see how they don’t gauge how to do that, because that’s how they could maybe snake the KD/Kyrie pairing that the Knicks were supposed to be getting.

We could do that too. 2020 1st for Dinwiddie. I'm just trying to dump Korver's worthless $3.44 if we can.

I actually keep Korver if he doesn't retire. I'd rather pay him $7.5 to play and be a mentor than pay him $3.44 to go away. Of course it all comes down to how much we need that extra $4 million.

It’ll be an extra $5.5 million this offseason if that happens because they’ll stretch him.

Quit pissing in my cereal bro. Lol

This off-season is starting to concern me. Biggest summer for free agents maybe ever, we got max space, and we might do diddly squat.

I go back and forth. Tobias is a real possibility. There are also a bunch of guys I think are good fits that we could piece together something good... as @infection has mentioned though... our inability to move on from Favs may hinder us from going that route.

Keeping Favors hinders us moving forward in every scenario besides trading Gobert.

I saw him at Best Buy eating a churro with Donovan... I think that is a good sign.

For the record, after waiving and renouncing every player the Nets can AND stretching Crabbe, they still wouldn’t have two max slots. They would have to dump off Dinwiddie, Harris, or Crabbe outright and I am skeptical they can do that with Crabbe (might take two firsts, but if they can keep Dinwiddie and Harris and can get two max guys then that is a no-brainer to me).

Yep.
