Destino Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Webster is closer to being a rapper than his a productive NBA player Ouch. Damn. I'd also try and trade Nene and draft picks to Milwaukee for John Henson and OJ Mayo. I doubt the bucks would go for that. I'd love to get Mayo though, having a real shooting guard come off the bench that can create a little bit would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjfootballer Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Stay clear of Biyambo. He's garbage. I live here in Charlotte and he's been one of the worst players in the NBA. Who cares if he's 12 feet tall, he brings nothing. No skill, nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Excuses Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 There is a role for Biyombo like players in the NBA. I just don't think he's a good fit on a team like ours which struggles offensively. Perhaps if we had a legit arsenal of stretch 4s but we don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skins199021 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Biyombo offers very good D and rebounding. Who cares if he is only capable of scoring 7 points a game. He is still 22. Hell Dennis Rodman went to the HOF averaging 7.3 points per game You can't say he isn't productive because he doesn't offer much on the offensive end. If we signed him he would be the best rebounder and probably post defender on the team. And once again he is 22 there is room for improvement. If he can be had for cheap I think we go for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Destino Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 So are they making Beal a long term deal now or waiting until after the lock out and hoping they don't end up paying him 40 million a year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 I'm vocally optimistic we'll be bringing Pierce back, we have the young legs to limit his minutes per game during the regular season and those young legs need play time too. Win - win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skins199021 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Yeah im sticking to this as my final hopeful scenario. Resign Pierce and Gooden. Sign Belinelli and Biyombo (Price has to be right for those two). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gibber Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Is there any reason why we are not extending Beal on a Max deal right now? If we extend him now at the max, his contract will be relatively low when the cap goes up substantially in 2016 and 2017. Will we still have room for Durant in 2016 with Nene gone even with Beal and Wall at their max deals, right? I guess maybe they are waiting on deals for mid tier guys like Dunleavy or whomever, but Ernie should get it done with Beal this year, right? Or do they not think Beal is a max type player?

I don't think he's a max deal player right now, might become one might not. I do think he's already worthy of the percentage of cap he will be taking when it goes up, if given a max deal now. No lose or win imo to re up early (if he will). Either he's really good and will be on a decent contract for both sides if that is what he tops out at, or he becomes the super star I expect and we have him cheap. Not sure how that would play re: KD though and that imo is important. Imagine the profile of BB in Washington if KD joins a good team... EDIT: and I think the team will have to be good today and look good for the future from KD's perspective when it comes to decision time next off season. Give him a decent chance of bringing a championship to his home town that he loves, be hard to say no. Edited July 1, 2015 by Pedro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess maybe they are waiting on deals for mid tier guys like Dunleavy or whomever, but Ernie should get it done with Beal this year, right? Or do they not think Beal is a max type player? A max deal is determined by percentage of the overall cap. And that cap number in the first year of the contract is what determines what the number is going to be. Signing Beal to a max deal right now doesn't save us money. He still has a year left on his current deal, so the max extension wouldn't kick in until 2016 and thus it would have the cap increase built into it. The only way to save money with a long term deal is if Beal signs a sub max contract with a fixed dollar amount instead of being based on a percentage of the cap. His cap hold next summer is set at just over 11 million, which is waaaaaaaaay cheaper than a max deal will be. That'd be like 20 million against our cap. And that would be a serious hindrance to pursuing Durant. Obviously, it makes no sense to give Beal a max deal this summer, or next summer before Durant signs his next extension. He'll be an RFA, there is no need to lock him up early. Worst case scenario: we have to match another team's max offer. Plus he might get hurt or might not improve and thus not be worth a max deal. His level of play to date doesn't currently warrant a max deal. So if Beal signs an extension this summer, then I expect it to be a very team friendly deal that's a big discount from a max deal. Something like 14 to 15 million a year, with the reason he's signing it being security against future injury. Marc J.

Skins199021 Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 I'd approach Beal about a 15-16 million dollar per year deal now and if he takes it great, if not just take a wait an see approach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the input guys. After last summer I actually have hope that Ernie will make a couple decent deals this summer. Not everyone can sign with Cleveland or San Antonio. Resigning Pierce would be a good start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
