This is my first post but I wanted to hear everyone's opinion on some off season targets. I feel like we have a pretty solid core of returning guys going into next season with:
PG: Rondo
SG: Allen, House
SF: Pierce
PF: KG
C: Perkins
Ideally I think we would like to have a solid nine man rotation with possibly Bill Walker being our tenth man. As far as our own FA's go I think our top priority would be re-signing Big Baby and possibly Powe if he can play again. The real interesting part of the off season is what do we do with the expiring deals of Tony Allen, Scal, Pruitt. Their salaries amount to a little more than 6 mil so we could target some decent FA's who have similar salaries but longer deals, saving the target team money. Here's my list of guys that fit that criteria
James Posey
Mo Peterson
Leandro Barbosa
Andres Nocioni
Matt Carroll
Jamal Tinsley
Jeff Foster
Marco Jaric
Dan Gadzuric
Nick Collison
Jason Kapono
Louis Williams
Reggie Evan
Desanga Diop
Out of that list most guys aren't appealing, but I think Barbosa might be the best fit for us especially since he has good experience coming off the bench and he offers some skills that rondo hasn't developed yet. However I think we still lack that Big 3 who can guard guys like lebron or rashard lewis. There are some FA who we may be able to snag for cheap I'd say my top three are
Desmond Mason
Rodney Carney
Trevor Ariza
We would have a projected lineup:
PG: Rondo, Barbosa
SG: Allen, House
SF: Pierce, Desmond Mason, Walker, Giddens
PF: KG, Davis, Powe
C: Perkins
I think this line-up leaves us a little weak at the 5. We may have some combination of the MLE or LLE to add one more guy. But it looks like we have the assets and personel to be able to have 9 solid guys heading into next season.
