Shams: Nico to be fired today!

[DanSchwartzgan]

While there is some positional overlap between Castle and Fox, I think SA will give them a long look before splitting it.  

Castle, Fox and Harper.

I think your Barnes/Johnson/Olynyk proposal is respectable depending on the picks, but it certainly has some problems.  It doesn't address the guard position at all.  In fact, Johnson adds to the crowd at the forward position.  It does save some money next year, but it doesn't create useful room.  It just puts us under the aprons.  

So, either the picks need to be superior in such a deal, or you need to get one of the SA guards in the deal.  

My post was in response to a post showing Klutch's potential influence on where things go from here and to draw attention to the Klutch connection with Fox.  Klutch got Fox his money.  The thing Klutch cares about next is getting AD his money.  It is hard to picture that ever happening here.  So, part of the calculus in any AD deal is figuring out if there is a financial fit beyond the next two years of AD's contract.  I think we all know he will have the healthiest year of his life right before it is time to get a new deal.
