Would tyreke do it? Favors maybe

Not too many exciting names. Bringing back Larkin seems like a good option
Noel as a center option might be interesting.


If rozier is gone, I would also explore seeing if IT wants to come play 6th man for Cheap but doubt its an option

I would love to be able to poach Redick. Tyreke would be awesome too.

Glad you mentioned Favors. He’d be awesome in tbat Baynes role

I think Tyreke will look to get a bit of a payday this year, at least the full MLE.  I think that puts him out of our reach
I'm bitter.

What options do we have to get a free agent and what are the cap ramifications?

Am I missing something?  Why do people think Favors is going to be a ring chasing vet?  (I've seen him brought up in multiple threads like this).

Dude is a 26 year old starter on a playoff team.  Why is Utah going to let him walk and why is nobody else going to offer him a decent contract?

I have been thinking Tyreke would make a good Smart replacement should we lose him; however, I would hope we would be able to hang on to Baynes in this case since we would be down to the bi-annual exception for a big man.

Salary considerations and availability aside, there's actually quite enticing rotation players on that list.

Pretty sure we could convince Ariza to buy into our 'bombs away' approach.  :D

Wayne Ellington would actually be a good fit as a bench scorer.  He stepped into a larger role at Miami this season and went to a great collich.

Swaggy P would be a welcome addition.  Same with Beasley.  We had a great team this year, but it was pretty stale in terms of personality.  And it's been years since we've had a dysregulated-in-an-entertaining-way dude on the roster.

Glenn Robinson III would be a great fit.  Same with Yogi Ferrell at back-up PG.

I'd give Perk an honorary lifetime contract.

That ship has sailed. He is now with the enemy and cheering on the enemy. Bye Felicia.

Oh no, I don’t think it’s likely at all. I just want him - I’ve liked him for years lol

When JJ Reddick praised the C's a week ago in some podcast and said TD Garden was like the loudest playoff arena he'd ever played in, I dreamed of the possibility of signing him as a ring chaser. I doubt it happens this year as he'll get paid somewhere, but maybe a few years down the line it can happen  8)

How about bringing Avery Bradley back if the price is right? He's an unrestricted FA and his stock took a hit since he left the Celtics.

Belinelli would be great to add too.

Always loved AB. 3&D specialist off the bench would be really fun. Also think he’d appreciate truly contending.

Hard to see him staying in LA
