Now the question is what to do with THJ, assuming they are creative enough to get enough cap space to resign him. I guess it might be wise to go after someone more defensively oriented instead. But losing THJ shooting will hurt.
I think if Derozan is the target, then it means Hardaway will not be resigned. It will be very difficult to free up the $, and I think a sign and trade will be difficult. I also would think they are not a good match...especially with the salary requirements. I agree, losing Hardaways shooting will hurt.
I think Derozan is the better player then Conley. But Conley may be the better fit. You even may be able to do a sign and trade for him which would allow you to re-sign Hardaway if you wish, plus have some $ left over. I think Conley and Hardaway are the better fit too.
I just think Derozan is better, but the fit is a little more challenging.
