Oh yeah they cost more. I mean...I kinda sorta get their methodology here even though it might not be the most appealing. Draft and develop your own players, re-sign them to lucrative deals and/or let them walk for comp picks if they don't fit into the plans anymore. Sign low-risk/high-reward type players in FA to supplement the depth on the roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude had a lot of talent, I know he was looked at a 1st/2nd round pick at one time. Get his body healthy and who knows, maybe he becomes an Irving replacement.

I wouldnt mind if we signed McDowell. Good risk vs reward situation. My only issue is we can get other good value signings without injury issue. Would Tre Boston break the bank? Suh on a 1 year deal?

But Boston is a guy that was available last year and they weren’t interested. Don’t think we were interested in Suh either (his reputation as a dirty player maybe?).

But can anyone say hes not an upgrade over Heath? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're cheap(er) because of injuries.They are still very much looking for cheap. A healthy Berry gets the same treatment as ET. A healthy Cobb probably isn't in the wheelhouse either.

They typically aren't targeting older veteran players though. They'll sign younger guys who may be available due to injury, lack of production, filling a specific niche, whatever - but over the last couple of years the front office hasn't looked at players in their late 20's or early 30's. So, yeah, their interest in Cobb and Thomas and Berry is a deviation from the norm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We haven't exactly been trending in the right direction either. Trying different things would help because the "process" isn't working and some people just need a change of scenery.

We just won a playoff game with a completely rebuilt roster, one of the youngest in the league and the youngest in the playoffs. We have like $30m+ in cap space and a new OC.
