2nd tier FA's

[arctic 3.0]

A few second tier free agent targets to look at regardless of who we pick in the draft:
(In no particular order)
Allan Crabe: 3, D, high energy. Check, check and check, plus he's young.
Evan Fornier: puts the ball in the bucket.
Jarred Dudley: 3, D, swing forward,  Pro.
M. Leonard: Better than Zeller...

Luol is someone I'd look at too. Could get lost in the shuffle in Miami this summer. Good pro, can hold his own as a stretch 4 or as depth at the 3.

Eric Gordon could be interesting too depending on price and whether or not a trade happens

If i were the C's I wouldn't settle too much but these guys are worth looking at if we can't get someone better.  Crabbe and  Dudley would be nice shooting wings behind bradley and crowder.  We have hunter and young though.  I'm not saying they are the end all be all either  and adding depth isn't bad but only so many roster spots and look at how David Lee turned out. 

I'd almost rather let Hunter and young continue to sit or play though in ways.  Turner is really the guy behind Crowder and Bradley right now.  Same with Smart. The issue is neither g uy has range right now.   

I would rather replace Turner with someone good in ways with range like Parsons but we will see. I don't know if he is worth it either.

We need a secondary option to IT. Turner was kind of that last year and did a good job but Parsons would be better?  More range.  just as good a distributer.

I like Crabbe. I thought he showed a lot in the playoffs, wasn't scared by the moment at all in that Warriors series. That's also the only time i've seen him play though.

Assuming there is no Hordford or Whiteside I like Gasol at 2 years 22 million total to mentor the young bigs. AJ and Gasol are very good vet bigs to mentor the young guys. It's only a two year deal and he can still be effective if minutes are managed and when paired with a mobile big. I like Mickey w/ Gasol and KO with AJ pairings right now. They will also be drafting 2 or more bigs.

Parsons' contract is 3yr/46M which was pretty close to a max contract. And he seems kind of injury prone.

If we got Pau Gasol then you need a big that can stretch a bit or use a small ball 4 next to him. Mickey isnt that guy yet. Gasol is a good mid range shooter but not at three point range.
