Who do you guys feel are some decent bench players left that we could sign on the cheap? I would love to bring Gerald Green back. Maybe uncle sleepy Jeff would come back on the cheap.

The article on the main CB page pinpointed a few great options. Dedmon, Williams, Reed, etc.

I would love Dewayne Dedmon for the Amir role and give us a rim runner who provides rim protection. Hopefully he would take the MLE.

We only have the RMLE, so he'd have to be willing to take about $4.3M.

Sullinger, Jeff Green, David Lee and Gerald Green all at the minimum.

I'm not even really kidding. Jeff sucks at rebounding but he can guard most 4s. Lee can rebound, pass, and might actually be in shape this time. Sully can rebound, pass and might be in less awful shape. Gerald green is a good teammate who proved his worth in the playoffs.

Sullinger
Hawes
Withey
Montiejunas
Jerebko
Javale McGee
Andrew Bogut
Terence Jones
Ilyasova
Willie Reed
Pau Gasol
Alan williams - r
Alex Len - r
Pachulia
Speights
Mirotic
David Lee
Dewayne Dedmon

Some of these guys might join for the minimum. Others might take the 4 million exception.
I imagine Gasol is out of reach.

If we move smart and Bradley, what do you guys think about Deron williams? Obviously not the same player he was before but maybe he's serviceable for the min? Derrick williams didn't look bad at the 4 for the cavs either

He earned the $2.9 million room last year, and was rumored to be under consideration by Golden State for the $5.2 million taxpayer midlevel, but that's gone to Nick Young.  I think the room exception is a reasonable price.  I wanted him last year and I want him again this year.

Quite possibly the biggest stiff ever. Less than zero interest.

How about not.  Why do you want a guy who shows no ability to maintain conditioning or has the discipline to be a professional?

Great, we could call them the WASHED OUT CREW

Sully and Lee both slacked the last times were with the team.  We are trying to get better here and be ready to pounce when another team falters not have the "Old Times Sake" Club.

This kind of move has to be last I imagine.  Let's re-visit in a month.
