Possible Strategy (salary cap 101M - luxury tax 121M)
Waive Diaw, trade Burks for nothing (+eventually draft pick) : 73.5-18= 55.5M

Sign 5 players (10M for salary cap - 30M for luxury cap) : Hill ? Mack ? Withey ?

Withey just sucks. Mack looks better than he is for the stats he makes. And why did you waste your 5th pick on Exum if you are gonna keep shadowing him behind a mediocre backup 10-15min per game PG at best.
Just let them go.

Bogut in for Withey, please.

 

[Stoked]

I have no hard feeling towards Mack. He played hard for us and helped us win a first round series. I wish him a long, successful career. But the team is moving away from needing him.

I do wish Withey to come back on the cheap. Help add depth to the C rotation.

 

[kabenac]

Withey will do. He's a big body, not a garbage defender and he puts up consistent numbers for the limited minutes he plays. Defensive-minded centers don't come cheap and signing Withey for around a million per season will mean more money for other players.

I am okay with Withey as long as Bogut is in front of him. The biggest problem with Withey is that he wasn't able to get on the floor behind much inferior rebounders. I was a legit rebounding center off the bench, which is Bogut.

You're right. Favors is injury prone, Johnson is old, Lyles and Bolomboy need to improve and if Diaw quit, Withey will be useful.

Bogut will be too expensive especially as a bench player

Bogut or bust.

Sign Henry Simms. He will be cheaper than Withey and let Mack and Neto walk.

 

[gomretat]

Obviously he doesn't have to sign them but if he can get Withey on the cheap it is a no brainer. What he brings for what he gives you is a deal. And we need money to spend other places.

 

[Ellipse]

Sign Mack cheap; we need point guards and tradable assets.

You consider Bogut a 3rd stringer!!!!!!

Ok... I think I read that wrong.

Favors is a PF in your scenario or traded.....

Withey was our third string... behind even Boris. Favors PF and Bogut is Gobert's backup, giving him good breathers. Or we go big and play Gobert / Bogut / Favors / Bolomboy / Hayward.

 

[Game6Conley]

It's time for fresh blood at the backup C spot. Withey was a nice find given the price tag. If a player like Ike Anigbogu we're somehow to fall in Utah's laps at #24 it'd be a grave misstep not to pull the trigger. He's a really high upside project and likely will be the youngest player in the league. He's gonna crush workouts and interviews tho and will be out of range.

 

[Game6Conley]

If the price is right on Mack ya can't complain.

so, when a team has several max contracts like we do, and will have more to come, you have to have servicible players on bargain basement contracts. Withey and Mack are the kind of guys that fit the bill. I personally hate max contracts, once you have a couple, it cripples your team. I hated AK from the moment he got his, and i'm not too happy with hayward and Gobert, though they are kinda worth it. Notice one thing about recent championship contenders: players, even sometimes stars that are getting paid under their 'worth'. For example, Golden state and Steph. Or the late years of Duncan. Durant i believe took less by going to golden state. If you want to win a championship, it's not about getting max players, it's about getting max players to take less. If Gordon, Gobert and star number three whoever steps up (Dante, Hood, Favors, Alec (shudder) all get max contracts and if Hill gets more than a 20% raise, then things are going to get really tight in the salary front.
