Is Taurean Prince the forward we are looking for?

Is Taurean Prince a solid bench backup that we need? If he could be had for that 5 million slot on a multi-year contract with the first year guaranteed. I think he'd be a fit for what we need.

[Who]

Nope. T Prince has been disappointing everywhere he has gone in his career. He is a below average bench player.

T Prince can eat some minutes. He can provide deep bench insurance. But he cannot be a leading bench player on a contender. He just isn't good enough.

Never became the defender you wanted him to be. A middle of the pack defensive SF who becomes below average defensively at PF due to his lack of size and rebounding. Offensively, a below average ball-handler and passer. A solid outside shooter who provides little else and more solid than high level as a shooter (unlike Hauser).

I'd rate Hauser > T Prince at SF and T Prince is a liability as a backup PF.

OK then,

Who is the better option for low money?

Who is the better option for low money?

I want JRich, although time will tell how much he gets paid.  We're limited to offering him about $4.7 - $4.9 million per year, apparently.  Non taxpayers can offer up to $12 million.

Who is the better option for low money?

Josh Richardson is my favourite option.

[footey]

Josh Richardson is poor man's Bruce Brown I guess.  Cause we sure ain't getting hometown Bruce Brown, likely going to Lakers.

I'd like Richardson over Prince if you can get him for that money...

I'd also go for Eric Gordon over Prince if he's all in on that 5 million dollar spot. You can't have too many shooters.

I think both Gordon and Richardson will get more than $5m.

Off the top of my head, I can see Gordon ending up in Memphis (they'll need shooting) and Richardson going to Cleveland (they need a wing). Clear roles and better money available.

You are probably right but the money will dry up pretty quickly and there will be some guys looking for a spot.

I'm in the Prince vs Old Man Gordon supporter category.  Going to need a replacement for GWill, he's gone.

Last year, statistically, they were too close to call in comparison.

GWill 8.1 PPG, 4.6 RPG, 1.7 APG, .454 FG%, .395 3P%, .770 FT%
Prince:  9.1 PPG, 2.4 RPG, 1. 6APG, .467 FG%, .381 3P%, .844 FT%

I think Prince can be had for cheap and he'd have a position on need on our team.

Think grant is the best option if they can resign him,

I also want Josh Richardson

I agree but money will be a major issue.
