It's done.  Let it go...

 

Think about it like this...  If he accepted our offer of 7 mil per and he was talking to multiple teams, odds are they were offering somewhere in the same ballpark and we nudged them out for his services.

 

So what...  It's over with.

 

Why would I "let it go" when you all won't let go of your refusal to admit that it was ridiculous?

Marvin is good player who is going to surprise you.... he will trade bait next year with hendo or Bismarck.... only a 2 yr deal.

He could've surprised me for what Kris Humphries and Paul Pierce are making, then there would be no doubt that we could also win a bid for Boozer.

Really? Still stuck on this? I am so surprised you are not a GM with your expertise and the fact that you could do no wrong. 

 

That kind of comment will never work on a logician.

 

Keep trying though, if you wish. No one needs to be anything to be right.

Just throwing this out there...

What about a sign and trade with Indiana where Stephenson comes over at 4yrs./$44mil with a player option in the final year for Gerald Henderson and his $6 mil contract throwing in a top 20 protected pick if need be.

Getting Henderson off the books keeps us at around $7 mil in cap space even with adding Stephenson.

Then use up to $6 mil of that on a bid for Carlos Boozer.

Then use the room exception to sign Brian Roberts.

Finally, re-sign Pargo using the rights exception at a vet min contract.

And if we really want to fill out the entire roster, use the bi-annual on Josh Davis.

This puts us at no more than $4 mil over.

Then role with...

PG: Kemba Walker, Brian Roberts, Jannero Pargo

SG: Lance Stephenson, P.J. Hairston, Gary Neal

SF: Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, Marvin Williams, Jeff Taylor

PF: Carlos Boozer, Noah Vonleh, Josh Davis

C: Al Jefferson, Cody Zeller, Bismack Biyombo

Then Collect Rings...

Ok I'm done... off to bed.

The quicker you are to accept the fact that we have to overpay FA to come here, the better

 

That is not a fact.

 

Sincerely,

Brian Roberts

 

And like I said, if you had to "overpay" Marvin Williams, then you didn't need Marvin Williams. If you legitimize the fact that he was overpaid, then you are saying that they desperately needed to sign him and him alone whether you realize it or not, which would be ridiculous for you to think.

I would be extremely happy with that offseason. My only complaint would be the $7 million per backup, but I can live with that for a 2 year deal.

      Sometimes the deal you don’t make is the BEST DEAL…. LOL @ Giants

      I don't think it's necessarily selfless to make that trade. I think it's all in how you plan and if you can objectively view the player. You know you're going to have a new coach and be taking a QB in the draft. Whether or not he wanted to admit it, we were going to be beginning a rebuild with a new offense and new defense. Depending on the coach, Burns may not have even been a good fit for the scheme that coach wanted to run.  So, if you're not 1st, you're going to need to trade up. Burns likely is going to want in the 30m per year range. While an effective pass rusher, he was never a complete DE. He wasn't a JJ, TJ, Bosa, or Garrett. He was more Reddick, and while good, never going to be in that top tier contract caliber.  So the question becomes, knowing that you need a QB to go with a new coach, is it better to have your  23, 24 and 25' 1sts  extra 24 and 25 1sts an extra 23'2nd  and 30m aav of future contract cap space to get a QB and edge rusher  Or your 23, 24 and 25 1sts and a good, but not elite DE on an elite tier contract.  6 picks and available 30m AAV in cap space vs 3 picks and 0 extra cap space to get a QB and a good, not great, DE.  To me that is a simple answer and frankly one that could potentially save my job. You have to have vision and be able to recognize value. Fitts over valued Burns like many fans did. I think ultimately what cost him his job was 3 years of not being able to value players correctly. We saw it twice in the draft in 2 separate years when he panicked and couldn't read the draft. DJ Johnson and Matt Corral picks specifically come to mind.  I don't think it was about being selfless as much as being a strategist. Neither Rhule nor Fitts never struck me as very strategic guys. I think they were more let's throw poo at the wall and see what sticks. Unfortunately for the fans, none of it stuck, but it still all stunk.

      The issue is the formula is secret, and it incorporates runs... So... Yup, it does. Same with PFF (which isn't quite as secret). But when it doesn't - like on Sunday - it's often to hilarious results. PFF is more reliable I think at matching my 'eye' test.
