Offseason Part 2 (6/29)

MCW improved to a 87; he is planning on leaving in the offseason, we're confident he'll be back though. Exum is a 75 with a 2-year team option. We looked at Kyrie as an upgrade but he was out of our price range. Wiggins goes up to 89 and is the only secure starter, he'll remain at SG. LeBron continues a 3 yr/$65.50M deal but it's tempting to move him because his challenge of leading a new team to a title is complete. And I'm kinda sick of my friend abusing him to win.

Gordon (79) should start at PF but I did float the idea of signing Carmelo and rotating him/LeBron at the 3 or 4. James McAdoo (72) sticks around for big man backup. We have a team option on Nerlens Noel (84) and I think he'll stay after that because of his defensive presence. Joel Embiid is only a 75 due to a faulty draft class, he's happy backing up for now.

After last year's trades and some draft day shenanigans, we ended up with the #1 and #4 picks. Unfair, I know, but there wasn't a LeBron replacement like I was looking for anyway. I snagged PG/SG Emmanuel Mudiay (76) at 4, and sent him out for Jabari Parker (84) of the Jazz. They already have Gordon Hayward playing at SF and Favors at PF so he was kinda out of place anyway. I think Mudiay will replace Marcus Thornton at shooting guard eventually for them. The idea on my side being that I could start fresh with Jabari replacing LeBron or maybe putting one of them at power forward. Whether we're trading the King is undecided but I think it'd keep things interesting in year 3.

With the 1st pick, I selected C Myles Turner but his rating was way too high in the draft class I downloaded. Once I bumped that down I noticed Jahlil Okafor (82) would have been the better selection anyway; I flipped Turner and a '17 2nd to Phoenix to make up the difference. He's good insurance in case Nerlens leaves but it's apparent he will not like a backup role this year. Had Noel not had a team option I could probably convince my friend Okafor will be better faster, and we could just let him go in free agency. Guess we'll just keep the fade top while he's under the team option. Sure I could just send away Joel but he's alright with being a "prospect" and I'm not worried about him having to replace anyone right away. Needless to say, I wasn't pleased that the top prospects in here were mostly big men.. had I known that I would have just gone with a generated class. Not sure what direction to go with the SF/PF/C areas.

All that said, the only major signing in free agency for us was Danny Green. I traded James Anderson and J-Rich out (to the chagrin of our 3-ball strategy) and a shooter at the 2 spot was needed. Doron Lamb (69) was the younger option at 2yr/$5.91M. Then I thought about Jeremy Lamb (75), who drained 3s all day on us in the Finals. Despite just a 75 3PT rating, he always seemed to be open and make every shot. It's an alright trade-off for the Thunder imo, and I added a '17 1st (of little value). He is likely to depart after a $3.03M salary this year but is the incumbent 6th man.
