Let's assume we can use something like an MLE. And lets assume Big Baby gets a starters gig someplace else (both likely).
What Energy Bigs could take his place? I really like Josh McRoberts. He's a restricted free agent and his qualifying offer is around $2M. Assuming he could be had for something more than that but less than a full MLE I think he'd be a nice role player.
Hits the 3, Hustles, Rebounds. Has the size, 6'10"/240 too.
I also like the idea of bringing Troy Murphy back. His value is very low. A full off-season to train and get in shape could help him out. His D is iffy but if he can rebound and hit that 3 he'd be very helpful. Only 30 or 31 so he should have something left.
Thaddeus Young is maybe too much like Jeff Green and not as good.
Dante Cunningham, We could do worse than bring in this energy guy, loved watching him on the Blazers this year, did just get busted for pot though..
Most of those guys should be reasonably priced. Wondering who else might be out there that I don't know about.
