I expect them to pursue a sign and trade for one big FA, re-sign THJ, then go after someone with the MLE. Not a bad plan. You have some flexibility there. You could try to get a guard in a SnT then maybe snag Noel with the MLE to be your big. Or just the opposite, get someone like Holmes in SnT and maybe get Dragic with the MLE. As long as Schroeder isn't our big SnT acquisition I'll be happy.
Totally agree about Schroeder. Unfortunately, Holmes is very unlikely to be a S&T candidate as Sacramento can’t get to the number it would likely take. I’m a Holmes fan, but he doesn’t work in an over the cap scenario. If he’s the target, we use room there, S&T somewhere else and only have the R-MLE left instead of the full MLE.
