This Season's Roster Outlook

[GermanStandard]

My Problem is that if you keep all guys except Rondo you have basically nothing to spend while losing the starting PG (well eventough he didnt play like one most of the time).

So if you go Option A you have around 3-5M to Spend depending on the new Contracts and you wont get much with that money.

Also keep in mind that Chandler, Dirk etc. get another year older so they likely will degress in productivity.

So adding just another solid Role Player to the recent cast wont do much...

They may Win 45-50 Games or reach the Playoffs as another 7th or 8th Seed but thats not really competing and giving Dirk a Chance.

The window is already closed on significant improvement building around Dirk. Another 50 win season and playoff berth next year should be seen as a successful year. The only way I would consider blowing it up is if somehow Lamarcus Aldridge was willing to sign. At that point, you let Ellis walk without question (but hopefully a sign and trade with something in return).

Starters:

Harris
Best SG available (ideally Lin)
Parsons
Aldridge
Chandler

Bench:
Felton
Min salary vet (Bellineli? Gary Neal?)
Aminu
Dirk
? (would RC play Sarge? Could Powell be a Wright starter kit?)
