Coach: Rick Carlisle

#: expiring contracts; %: player/team options


With all expirings off the book (and marion & Mayo possibly out too), we'll only have Dirk, James, Crowder, Cunningham, James and Carter left on our roster, but also a cap space of about 30m to work with.

I think we should split the 30m space on two players, going all out for one top-tier superstar (like CP) and another borderline superstar (like Iggy) since we can't afford two maxes even with 30m space, and we can't expect s to join us on paycuts knowing how greedy and venal s are. Then we will have a core of Dirk + CP3 (or someone else of that caliber) to build around, and a decent #3 option taking the rest 12-13m something CP3 leaves on the table.

I don't fancy the proposal of signing DH at all. Dude with a broke back ain't no longer the monster he once was, he would still be a nice companion to dirk but I'd rather go after the cheaper ones like Dalembert or something else. If we miss out on CP, I'd rather we go all out chasing Iggy and Josh Smith who will then be the best free agents left in the market. 15m/yr salary for the first year wouldn't sound too bad for either guy I think, and we will be stacked as at the wing. Promote Wright to the starting C and sign a le-chasing veteran PG (like Billups), we'll be back in the playoffs and hopefully making the 2nd round or even WCF next season, if not in the le contention (in fact, Miami will be the only team in le contention for another 4-5 season to come imho)

I know something you don't know

Yesterday Dirk almost got injured after hard foul in soccer match...



...and hits the penalty!

[racm]

I want to snag Wright from you guys, tbh

[skmblz]

I'd like to keep wright and marion. both underrated imho

[monosylab1k]

Go after Bogut next season imho. Not sure who to get this offseason since cp3 & dwight aren't coming. Tank for Wiggins i guess.

[Raven]

i can't believe Wright is only 25, he seems to be in the league since like forever.

French Allah is expiring ?

Roddy's contract expires but it's not like he can earn big $ elsewhere, if he accepts a salary in the range of 1.5-2m I'd be more than glad to keep him on our squad, woulnd't be a bad backup PG imho. But money is not the biggest obstacle in this case, dude wants more playing time which he's sure as that he won't get on the mavs squad as long as Carlisle remains their coach.
