re: What IS BI's market value

Seems like too much to give up. No?

Depends on what you want to get back.

Do we always want to match someone we don't want to pay X amount for people of X amount?

Why can't we go into the offseason as buyers with cap space for once? Does that usually hurt teams?

(1) Pels 1st + (2) Mil swaps + Nance is a good bit less value than

(2) Detroit 1st in the next 5 years

At that point you have

BI for Duren + Grimes

We have SF depth and the issue is BI shooting 3's. This gives you another 23 y/o shooter that hasn't played up to a huge contract and can be retained for 3-5 years. You also get Duren who can be your future Center on a great value contract.

That contract allows you flexibility to

Resign Val
Resign Murphy
Not worry about Hawk/ Dyson til after CJ

The 2 for 2 swap of BI/ Nance for Duren/ Grimes fills 2 holes for cap space and C.

We would have about (45mil) next season.

Get Val back and center is set.
Sign Jose

We would have 20-30mil to fill PG/ backup PF/ 3rd string C.

OR you send BI+ (6) 1st + (3) swaps for Ant. And they may say no.
