    Welp. It's time to start looking at dump candidates....bring on the Boguts, Kanters, Redicks, Iggy's, Ariza's, and McRoberts of the world!

    Aside from Durant and Horford, I wouldn't feel comfortable maxing anyone out this off-season. Could be a blessing in disguise for us. Let other teams max dudes like Bradley Beal and Harrison Barnes.

    They're all solid players. I'd take any of them. Especially Iggy. If we got him I'd be ecstatic. Seriously some of those guys are better than some of these lower tier free agents.

    Doesn't look like Iggy is a dump candidate after all.

    Huh? There were people who thought Iggy will be dumped? Finals MVP from 2 years ago?

    If they were going after Durant, yes Iggy could possibly be a dump candidate. For GSW to afford Durant they would have to get rid of half their team.

    This @ZenMaster . It was thought if GS was going to get Durant, they'd have to dump just about everybody to get the cash to make it work.

    Bulls looking to dump contracts to make room for wade....Dunleavy and Calderon are the canidates. We could use 1 or both these guys and both are expiring. Id ask for the sac pick for taking on jose, or both sac and chi top 20 protected 1st to take both guys

    Someone will ask for less. I'd settle on a 2nd rounder for Jose and a protected future 1st for both of them.

    ...saw it in T-Rod's list and wondered how much he has left.

    Firsts are more valuable these days though.

    If I'm taking on Calderon alone, I'll ask for a 1st but settle for a 2nd.
    If I'm taking on Calderon AND Gibson, then yeah I'm asking for a likely protected 1st.

    Hopefully we're in on this man. I think this is a chance to really improve our team AND get a pick. It makes so much sense for both sides (as long as Wade is actually serious here...).

    ^...that's the rub. I reckon Wade wants to finish his career in South Beach BUT the idea of playing for his home town team has some appeal. Gibson would be a good add...a rough and tumble player that we can use like we did with Bass.
