who is your top 3 under 10per realistic targets for off season signings.

[Chinook]

Based on your logic:
-Hibbert ended Bosh's career the 2013 posteason.
-Nene ended Chandler's career in the 2009 postseason.
-LeBron ended Tiago's career in the 2013 Finals.
-Perkins ended Pau's career in the 2008 Finals
-Dirk ended Pau's career in the 2011 postseason.

Why can't you be even a slightly non- ty poster for more than a post at a time? None of what you said made any sense. First off, I said nothing about ending careers. Secondly, Bosh beat Hibbert in 2013 en route to a le. Chandler was 26 when he lost to Denver. Tiago didn't look done in 2013 and had a great 2014. Pau was a 19/10 guy the next season. He was a 17/10 in 2011-2012. Noah's been awful for two years in a row now. And he's over 30. To expect an Indian summer from him when the only guy who's had anything like it on your list is easily the best player and one who's been significantly better even as an old man than Noah's ever been.

None of those were good examples. And even if they were, they miss the point. Player options are only bad for teams. If Noah pulls out of his tailspin, he opts out with the team having no Bird rights. If he doesn't the team is stuck unable to do anything in 2018's free agency because they have a terrible expiring. In previous years when the team was consistently over the cap, it made sense. Now, it doesn't.

If RC is going to use 7 mill of the cap space on K-Mart then he might as well hand the trophy to the Worriers.

Yeah, because giving twice as much to Noah's gonna be better.

Then good luck signing any decent players & remaining a contender.

They're not going to be a contender next season if they lose Tim and Manu. I thought that was obvious. And it's not because you can't replace them. It's because they've been playing at a dramatically reduced salary for years, and the team will need at least a season to normalize their roster to reflect the economic reality of the league.

-Old man Bogut is better than Noah when All-NBA 1st Team defense Bogut fared worse against the Cavs than Noah playing on a knee that require surgery
-All-Star Tyson Chandler got his ass handed to him by Hibbert the 2013 posteason
-Meanwhile Noah playing on a gimpy knee was the best player on a team that handed the Worriers (the team to beat) their last regular season home loss:

No s Sherlock, it doesn't take a genius to figure out that PLAYER options favor the PLAYERS. It's a freaking players league unlike the NFL thus unless they have incompetent agents why in the would anyone with market value not negotiate a player option?

I'm pretty sure the risk-reward w/ K-Mart is worth half a starting center's salary.

Oh so, you're suggesting they waste one season of LMA's prime & whatever is left of Porker like the Mavs wasted Dirk's career teaming him up w/ K-Mart level players after annually trying & failing to land the proverbial big fish. Meanwhile the only time they won a le was when they took a chance on an injury prone center who had been left for dead.

Porker is going to be at the helms until he 2018 so might as well gamble on basically a 2 year contract on Noah along a playmaker (& hopefully draft someone like GPII) b/c Porker/Diaw are only going to get worse & Softridge isn't going to get any better. If it doesn't workout you dump BOTH Noah/Porker (also Diaw if he's still on the team) & reload in 2018 (http://www.spotrac.com/nba/free-agents/2018/) while Kawhi is entering the PEAK of his prime.

Putting your eggs in one basket & maxing out Horford (the same dude who got outplayed by Tristan Thompson in his all-star season) doesn't sound so appealing. Besides, just like I mentioned earlier they might be left hanging like the Mavs since Miami is trying to recruit Horford using his dominican roots.

#1 Boban Marjonovic, taking all the increase in cap.

I see only one clear opening, 15th man Matt Bonner, replaced by near minimum salaried player.

#2 Davis Bertans / Cady Lalanne / 1st round draft choice.
