OKC will be signing someone. Assuming we trade/buyout Nate, we'll have 14 million in cap space. I hope we sign Dalembert and AK47 as backups
That's crazy, all the young and developing talent that they have on their roster. And they still have 14 million to spend this offseason? That's just great work by the FO.

Well we only have 9.5 million in space with Robinson on the books for next year, but we'll probably buy him out..but ya
Sefalosha is signed through 2014 @ 3.3 million per year, Perkins @ 7 million per year, Ibaka through 2014 @ 1.2 million per year, Harden @ 4.5 million, Collison @ 3.2 million.

That is great work by Presti but soon Westbrook will be up for an extension and he'll most definitely get the MAX or close to it... add that to Durant's MAX deal and all those contracts listed (and eventually Harden and Ibaka will need extensions) and the owner is going to be needed to spend to keep the team together. That being said, I'm confident they will do it b/c considering how proactive they were in trading Jeff Green when it looked like he wasn't going to be re-signed (and brought in a better fit for cheaper), they'll probably mange to improve even more.

Durant's max deal is included in that. Westbrook will get a max and I'm sure Ibaka/Harden will get around 8-10 million per year.
I'd take any starting center and be happy, but at the same time I realize we won't get anyone too great without giving up our 2012 cap space....
We need a good center now.
Nobody can guarantee us that we can sign a superstar in 2012 but I can guarantee you one thing.
Without a real center we are far away from contending.
Dalembert is guy who I want.
Excellent defender and rebounder.
Of course I would jizz in my pants if we get Tyson Chandler (and a few role players) because he would put us among the contenders but I don't see him coming to NY this summer.
Clippers will keep Jordan or match any offer up to about 10 million, maybe even more for him. They'll probably also throw 8 mil to Wilson Chandler and Jeff Green. If they botch that, I expect them to go after Prince & Battier.

Yeah I could see sterling paying Jordan 10, then a sf another 8 plus max deals to Gordon and grffin.
