Wurider05 Posted November 5, 2019 Report Share Posted November 5, 2019 I like to think that we are past the taking bad contracts phase but the teams are locking up their best players before they even hit the market. Schlenk said that we wasn't going to overpay so who are we going after? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators AHF Posted November 5, 2019 Moderators Report Share Posted November 5, 2019 There are lots of different options and what we do will depend on where Schlenk thinks we are. My working assumption is he will be ready to switch into "win" mode after this season. I don't think he is the type of person to simply go spend big just because he has the money but I expect he will be looking to add more dollars to the roster through FA and trades after this year. The big key is whether he wants to reserve the money to add two max free agents during the summer of 2021 when the FA pool is expected to be much bigger. If so, that might mean more short-term deals like Philly did with JJ when he was there. I could see us still eating a contract or two like Supes says if he wants to go for max FAs in 2021. Less likely if he finds expensive targets to add via trade. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member JayBirdHawk Posted November 5, 2019 Premium Member Report Share Posted November 5, 2019 Be diligent with it! Don't hand out bad long term contracts to middling players. We are still rebuilding the team! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Vol4ever Posted November 5, 2019 Premium Member Report Share Posted November 5, 2019 We will eat contracts so the contending teams dont have to rebuild. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Save it for 2021 It could get used on guys like Anthony Davis, Jimmy Butler, Tobias Harris, Kawhi Leonard, Paul George, etc. who are already under contract and get traded. Who will those guys be? Don't know. But recent history suggests there will be some real candidates that may be even better than available FAs. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post kg01 Posted November 6, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 6, 2019 I'm holding out hope we could end up with Embiid once he realizes the 6ers are more invested in a non-shooting PF masquerading as a PG. And I hope, whatever we spend money on, we save enough to put towards getting @Marvin24Williams a new name. It's time, bro. 2 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTB Posted November 6, 2019 Report Share Posted November 6, 2019 I hate to say it cause someone I know is a die hard bucks fan and it’s hard for small markets to get stars BUT...if the bucks happen to fail unexpectedly in like round 2! I would love to revisit that early Giannis comment right before the season started on not being sure if he’s guaranteed to resign in MIL. Then again our hawks would have to be sure they look impressive 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bird_dirt Posted November 6, 2019 Report Share Posted November 6, 2019 With so many young core guys joining the team within just a few years of each other, it's going to be hard to keep them together if they do as well as we hope. I have a feeling we'll be spending more on our own players than on outside FAs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Embiid truly needs to graduate from a series of anger management classes first. He could really rub off the wrong way on our kids no matter his extreme talent and also put that extra target on our backs because he is just such an ass. This is not WWE SmackDown stuff here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
