So whats the point of hoping Brand leaves and we have lots of cap space if it isn't guaranteed that we can land someone that is his caliber or better?

My number 1 option is trade brand now as part of a deal for someone along the likes of AK47, kidd, carter, etc. etc. My number 2 option is sign and trade brand in the offseason again for someone along the lines of the aforementioned, or arenas, any other stars on the block. In those situations by definition were getting someone back. Now, worst case scenario, brand opts out, and we hit the market. Still, thats better than the alternative, because it gives us a CHANCE to make a move, whereas if we lock ourselves in with brand were stuck..little upside. With the cap space we have huge upside, whereas the downside is, we perhaps bring in an expiring deal like kittles, and try again the next year...we miss the playoffs, just like its likely we do with brand anyway.
