    It's settled. With more $$ than anyone else out there, the Golden State Warriors will NOT offer the best available UFA a contract worth more than the MLE. Meanwhile, not 1 better FA at the PG position even exists on the market...

    Why do they have to limit themselves to the FA market?

    I mean, who would be the draw now?

    Who takes Baron's place as the face of the franchise?

    The reason people buy tickets?
    Exactly !! Who's out there that can replace Baron as the face of the franchise ? No one !
    So what do you do ? How do you better your team ? I believe the Warriors will have 18 to 19 million dollars available to try and find some combination of FA's to try and win. No other big names are available.

    Who do they have that they can trade for anything good in return ?

    With the exception of NO all of your scenarios demand that they trade someone first and that said teams actually want to trade them which I am not buying in the least. Draft day trade rumors don't just extend over into the FA arena.
    The Clippers just renounced his rights today, expect to see more teams enter the fray by tomorrow. Just because a team doesn't explicitly need a player like him doesn't mean they won't try and acquire him. Why else would BOS make a run at him?

    A 20/5 SF for the MLE price is going to attract a lot of attention.

    They are sitting at $33 million in salaries, and have to pay Ellis and Biedrins, both expected to be $10 million dollar guys. That's $53 million, lux tax at $70 million, and they have an owner who does not want to pay the lux tax.

    They will make some moves, but they won't be reckless.

    Getting Maggette for slightly above the MLE is not reckless. Giving Arenas a max contract is reckless.

    I have avatars turned off.

    It seems you don't realize all the possibilities that amount of cap space provides.

    Didn't they just offer Gilbert Arenas $ 100 million ? And now that he's going to probably stay, they are going after Brand ? That's not only reckless its desperate. Maggette can be had for 8 mill a year probably.

    So, none of your possibilities has GS pursuing CM ? Instead of trading, instead of pursuing FA, instead of relying on new draft picks for production, they are going to do what ?

    Boston has said there priority is Posey and unless Posey goes somewhere else its not happening. That also assumes that Maggette would be fine with a bench role. Thats a lot of ifs.

    But hey rather than actually look at the teams that:

    A) Maggette would be interested in and
    B) Would be interested in Maggette,

    lets just say that a lot of them will be interested like that makes any difference.

    While I am not really sold that it really will happen. Maggette for the MLE would be awesome.

    The thing is that I cannot remember a signing that has been "leaked" before it actually happend by the Spurs. I still doubt it happens....if it does I am excited.

    I already presented possibilities.

    Pursuing Maggette is only one option of many.

    Signing Maggette along with Biendris and Ellis will preclude them from acquiring a franchise level player. I imagine they will consider their options carefully before choosing that course of action.

    JR is the better of the option in my opinion. I just do not know if Mags will come to the Spurs where he will be expected to play D. If he does, that is a short term energy burst and would be excellent. What would our roster look like if JR or Corey signs?

    Golden State fans want them to pursue Iguodala. The Sixers aren't letting him go.

    i think JR is a better fit as well, but maggette is more talented.

    pg- Parker/hill/jacky
    sg- maggette(or smith)/ginobili/barry(or finley)
    sf- bowen/ udoka
    pf- duncan/ian/bonner
    c- obie

    Magette would not be on bench. If Finley can start,then why the Corey is on the bench? Manu doesnt mind sparking the bench last season, I think its good to have explosive from bench and keep Manu fresh for 4th quarter. Manu will get another six man award for sure, he is a true unselfish warrior. Please come Corey, you can be a starter if you want...

    But Barry is gone is he not? That leaves us thin at center and I think we need Kurt back as well.

    i wouldnt say its desperate. its a risky move but not reckless, and we know the payout that gilbert is capable of. he just has to be healthy.
