We have Williams but ya know why bring him up and get him acclaimated ::)

He and Yabusele are probably better than guys like Gortat or Lopez.

 I chose Robin Lopez as I think a big who can play great defense and be a plus rebounder will be a great addition. I would slot Lopez straight into Theis' role and expand it if he is playing better than Baynes or if Baynes is hurt.

I then chose Vince Carter because Vince could be a great vet to have on the bench that can do just about anything you could want. Besides, how cool would it be to win it all this year and be the team Hall of Famer, Vince Carter, won his only ring on. So awesome.

Ellington or Wes Matthews would be ideal. Or DJ

Wes already committed to Indy. NYK is likely gonna keep DJ - he's close with Kevin Durant.

Surprised so many people want Avery Bradley. Dude has been bad for awhile now. I know, I know. Nostalgia. But it'd be a waste of the roster spot IMO.

I have to admit I haven't seen Bradly play all that much this year but if he can still defend and shoot a little bit he'd be a good vet end of bench guy.... If he gets a good unguaranteed contract he might also save us having to dump Smart in a trade to for Davis after the season...

Lopez would be good because of how he would match up against Gasol, His Brother and Embiid in the playoffs.

Dang, I missed so much. Problem of timezones and sleeping through the deadline ;D

AB looks quite toast imo, it's sad

Wayne Ellington.

He gives us something that we don't have yet, a great off-ball player who's a great shooter.
He has the same style like Redick and Korver, only he shoots the ball at 38% from 3-point land, but that's still really good.

I'd rather have toasted AB guarding a point guard than Rozier.

I think Baynes can play those guys well but having two guys to do it is even better. Against Toronto and Milwaukee Stevens could start Baynes and Horford and still have Lopez to sub in to continue to play big. Maybe against Philly

Horford vs Embiid
Tatum vs Harris
Kyrie vs Reddick
Smart vs Butler
Brown or Morris vs Simmons

is the best way to go.

Oh, not this year you wouldn't. Bradley has been pretty awful defensively this year and Rozier catches a lot of undo flack for his defense. Rozier is definitely an above average defender. Not great. Not as good as most of his team mates. But he isn't a bad defender.

Why is Wesley Matthews signing with The Pacers? Don't most buyout players want to play for a contender? Weird...

Is Avery Bradley going to be bought out? He would be idea to deal with quick point guards in the playoffs.

Oooo. I like that. I don't think he would like signing the two-year deal that likely becomes trade bait though.

It's better than sitting around and watching the playoffs from home and money is money....

He'll start for the Pacers and get a lot of playing time to maximize his value in free agency.
