Don't know if they could afford to make a competitive offer or not, BUT, if not, I'm against smaller deals that leave us asking the same question about the next opportunity for an actual difference maker. Because a difference maker is what they need.
I am in favor of smaller deals. I don't want to give up draft picks but I think several of our guys would be attractive to other teams. For instance, can you move Bullock for a younger player who may fit better moving forward?
My fear is this team is gearing up for a big move using future draft capital. My concern is this roster isn't one player away. They may be closer than they currently feel, but I am not sure one player makes them a strong contender for the next 3-4 years. Second, I look at New Orleans, Memphis, OKC, Utah, Knicks, etc. All those teams can offer better packages for a star player who may become available. I feel we may be waiting for a star that we may not be able to afford with our available draft capital.
If things don't improve quickly, I want to have an answer on Wood soon and move fast. Look for younger assets who may be undervalued (preferably a wing or 4 type young player).
