I wouldn't mind getting Alex Len for cheap. He's been a surprisingly solid player.

If we keep Kanter, nobody. If not, Nerlens Noel.

Baynes, Howard and Poeltl interest me. Isn't TT a free agent as well?

yes

Don't think we can afford but you never know who might want a 1 year redemption contract  or ring chasing year

Is there any chance that Horford gets bought out?

Would like to trade for JV

He has 3 more years left on his contract. Final year is partially guaranteed. If they cut him, they have to eat his salary till 2022/23!

The Thunder are in rebuild mode, which means they don't need the cap space right now. My guess is they 'll trade Adams for whatever asset(s) they can get and they'll keep Horford. He'll be a nice veteran presence for their young players.

In order of preference :
1st option Tristan
2d Poeltl
3rd Gasol

A trade for JV also make sense, but I would regret we didn't do it last year TD, as I proposed

PS we could also give a shot in a two way for Tillie also...

I suspect you are right.  I was being unrealistically hopeful.  They’re rebuilding and I doubt he’ll want to be a part of that, but that is a lot of money and he would be a good mentor for their young players.

Feel like we r going to end up with adams now. Okc has him and horford.

He would be the perfect center to make the offseason draft/trade of hayward to be completely terrible

That’s a good crop! Provided we can afford them aka they’ll accept the MLE/minimum, I would prio them thusly:

Guys who would have significant impact: Gasol, TT
Guys who would be an upgrade: Dwight, Baynes
Guys who will give us depth: Kanter, Poetl, Noel, WCS, Len, RoLo

If we can land 1 of the top 4 and also 1 depth guy, that’d be great news for the C’s!
