PSS: thanks Dan for the 3 chart info - I hope I'm reading the numbers correctly.
You are very welcome. I agree that Oubre has a poor statistical profile. We can argue about how he might improve with a different role and better surrounding cast if we wish (collective we, not you and me). I see his potential acquisition as strategic from a cap standpoint more than helpful on court.
The real benefit here is moving on from Wright and Jackson’s cap cost in 2021. Oubre is a Duffy guy I think...so we showcase him for a year...good agent relations. But, he’s not a keeper unless he catches fire. He’s a larger expiring contract that can bring back a $19 million player at the TDL. Or, he’s an expiring deal...with upside...that makes Wright’s long term salary disappear. He also takes a little pressure off of the need to keep THJ if THJ proves too expensive to retain.
OK, a strategic cap standpoint. I have to say I was not looking at the bigger picture - I stand corrected on Oubre. Getting rid of Wright and Jackson for a 2021 FA would be a big move. Your 2021 TDL idea could land us someone like Myles Turner- just saying?
Thanks to Omahen for bring up the Wright, Jackson and the 31st pick post for Oubre. I can eat crow when the bigger picture is presented.
