- Draft Flagg at #1. Duh.
- Trade Hardy/'30 PHI 2nd for a protected (top-55 2nd). Bunch of teams could adquire him, I'm sure some young squad could use him properly (BKN, WAS, etc..).
- Re-sign Kyrie at 120M/3y (2+1) starting as 38.000.000. Tricky, but if Ky wants to compete, he'd have to help us on this next contract to at least use the TP-MLE.
- Sign Tyus Jones at TP-MLE starting at 5.685.000 (hard-caps us at 2nd apron). Starting is clearly a priority to him and we would provide that for 60 games + a well-rounded defensive team to hide him.
- Re-sign Exum for the vet. min starting at 3.303.774 (counts 2.296.274 towards the cap). Kidd mentioned him by name which to me indicates he prefers his kit over Dinwiddie's.
Jones (28)/Williams (12)/Marshall (8)
Thompson (26)/Christie (16)/Martin (6)/Exum (GT)
Flagg (22)/Marshall (14)/Washington (10)/Martin (2)
Davis (26)/Washington (16)/Flagg (6)/Prosper (GT)
Lively (24)/Gafford (18)/Davis (6)/Powell (GT)
- Martin should probably play GT, but i bet Kidd won't give him DNPs given his rep.
- Kyrie would take Tyus minutes and Tyus takes the full backup role (18-24 mpg).
- Exum would fight B-Will for minutes (maybe both get 6).
- Would love to get Ajinca as a 15th-man if we could dump DP as well (would sign for a multi-year starting at min 1.272.870).

Olivier-Maxance Prosper - 3.007.092

Dante Exum - 2.296.274
JaVale McGee (dead money) - 2.208.856
TOTAL = 205.744.296
Leaves us room to work (2M) if needed (2nd apron at 207.825.000), seeing that we suffered last time by not having extra wiggle room.
Nice post.
The season is so long and I am not sure where the # is, but I think Dallas has to be very careful with AD minutes. Is that under 30? 30? I just feel like you can’t wear him out in the regular season. So I think good depth is going to be important. This is true for Lively as well.
