Veteran free agent options

[PhoSita]

In addition to Beverley (who I think will probably cost too much), the following will be UFA:

Thabo
J. Dudley
G. Temple
C. Brewer
W. Chandler
Wes Matthews
Danny Green
Jeff Green


I've always liked Wes Matthews and Danny Green, but I doubt either is available for anything close to the minimum.

Would Thabo, Dudley, Temple, or Brewer be anything more than veteran bench depth?

I like J Green. Not Uncle 'Snooze,' JaMychal Green.

I think he would be an awesome addition to our bench. I love Wes Matthews, but he's gonna at least get 4-8 million along with Green. Plus if DG stays, it only means Kawhi is staying also.

Yeah I like JaMychal too but I don't think there's any chance he's an option.

I'd try my hardest for Michael Kidd Gilchrist and/or DeAndre Jordan.

You have to go through Giannis to get to the finals  now. I'd try after a great sf defender and a rim protector.

No roster space unless there are trades

[Somebody]

No one's thinking about DeWayne Dedmon with the MLE? He's a good rim protector, can defend on the perimeter, and is somehow a good three point shooter at 38.2% on over 3 attempts per game. Can also make his FTs.

This is a great list. If any of those guys are available for the minimum, I think we stand to benefit in getting one of them. None will demand minutes, which is still the type of role player we need even after an AD trade

If we have Horford, Davis, Baynes and Theis, I think there are bigger needs.

If we don’t otherwise upgrade the front court, then Desmond makes some sense. Of course, under those circumstances Kyrie probably bolts, meaning we may need to invest in a PG instead.

Chief, I've always agreed with you many times, and this time for sure.

I like MKG, he has a PTO for 13 million, which would be hard to deny. But if we bring in Kyrie, and AD, two of his good friends, I can see him agreeing to take on a team friendly deal.

I forgot how MKG. He'd be awesome

Jabari Parker to replace Tatum

Jabari Parker to replace Tatum

 

Have you even watched him the past 2 years?

Talented as heck, but injuries and listless defensive effort have pretty much made him useless. If he comes for the minimum, I am all for it.

I haven’t. He could of completely declined but we just need a scorer off the bench Incase Morris leaves.

He’s an overpaid scorer at this point. He can get you buckets but that’s pretty much it. Actually, check that, you’ll get scored on a bunch of times too. He’s just bad on D at this point.

Like the player but it's hard to see where the cap space needed to sign him comes from. Like you said, maybe the MLE might be enough for him. He made $7.2 million last year and had a good season.

I love Dedmon, but I think there are concerns over his durability.

Although he can't be any worse than Baynes was this season in terms of availability

I didn't watch him a lot this year, but in the games I did his defense was some of the worst I can ever recall seeing.  No hyperbole.
