Baker can now try to outscore Jimmer in the CBA, mostly on Dolan’s dime.

Thanks to Bo i now know how unlikely it is that RB plays in the CBA.

There's only 38 positions open for grabs across 19 teams.

You need to be a big-time scorer or else you will be cut and your money isn't guaranteed.

Ron's done with pro ball.

Surely Baker is Phoenix bound

I bet Trier’s hamstring is feeling much better now.

Some team will be willing to give Baker a minimum deal.  He already pocketed nearly $5M from NYK this year.  He's a hard-worker, low maintenance, knows the NBA, is in shape.  Lotta teams have weak benches. And injuries are an on-going thing.  DET, NOP, OKC, WAS, etc all need bench depth.  Plus a weak team like ATL and PHX might want to give Baker a try to see if he fits long term.  That's a half dozen possible spots off the top of my head.

And there are pro-leagues all over the world.
Turkey, Italy, France are highish level.
And much more team-oriented than China, where a Ron Baker could do well.
Lesser leagues: Russia, Philippines, Japan, Israel, Greece, Slovenia.
Venezuela probably has gotten too unsafe and out of money.
Probably other leagues such as Estonia, Lithuania, Poland and wherever. 

The point being that there are pro jobs all around the world.
But I don't think that the NBA is done with Baker or vice versa.
If he hadn't gotten injured last year, NYK might have stuck with him and not taken on so many other Sg's.

Boylen and Jabari don’t mix. Despite a good year in counting stats, he’s now out of the rotation.

Does Chicago want a near all star who is finally earning his salary by stepping into an Alfa role?

Hardaway & Thomas for Parker and Felicio

Carter Lauri Hardaway Lavine Dunn with the cost of Hardaway somewhat offset by not having to pay Felicio.

If we turned down Parker’s option, we save 11 mil next summer putting us 40 mil under the cap.

In the meantime,

Kanter Mitch Kornet
Vonleh Felicio KP
Knox Parker Hezonja
Dotson Trier Lee
Mudiay Frank Burke

With these guys sticking around

Mitch Felicio
KP
Knox
Dotson Trier Lee
Frank

if we miss out on a Max FA we like, we can alternatively keep Vonleh and Mudiay, get an impactful but cheaper FA and kill in the draft.

Hardaway is better this year. Plays hard. More consistent scorer.

But I doubt anyone here would argue that he's a star or a high impact ballplayer.

Lot of games like the one in Cleveland, if we had one driven go-to player (let's say there are maybe 2 dozen of those guys in the NBA), the game is ours. But that’s something we obviously don’t have. Timmy was insignificant in the last few minutes.

That's one reason why it's just way more fun to see what the other guys can come up with. I had no idea about Mudiay's grit and aggression. Interesting to see someone developing before your eyes.

Maybe that's not quite right. Hardaway has been an impact player at times.

Just not the right times.

By the way, Fuck Noah.

Not to be a killjoy.

Yes, cap space, I get it. 

Durant is not coming.  Neither is Kawhi.  Nor Kemba.

Yes, I get the cap space aspect of your permutations. 

However, Parker is on record as being rather desultory, regarding defense. 

Okay, we drop him come next summer. 

Cap space.

In the meantime?

Chemistry?

Down the ceramic device. 

Everyone took note of Timmy's offensive inefficiency.

What about the charges he took?  Among other things. 

Yes, thins out the herd at SG and saves cap space. 

Still, not much of a message to potential free agents as to their potential shelf life in NYC. 

Anyway, kiljoy I am. 

Interesting deal. 

Still...
