TPMLE/RSTPMLE targets: T. Bryant, Donte D, Schroder
Value FA targets (~minimum): Bembry, Moses Brown, PJ Dozier, Kessler Edwards, Elleby, Garza, Damion Lee, Nwora, Okogie, Paschall, Queta, Watanabe, Zeller
Post-buyout guys: Favors, Jamychal, Kemba

Why is the back of my brain saying there is some beef between Paul and Dennis?

[Split T]

They were teammates in OKC…Booker and Schroeder had some run ins during that Lakers series

[Indy]

Ah, that is what I was thinking. Thanks.

[Superbone]

Last time we played Schroeder's team, Book ignored him during the meet and greet after the game. They were barking at each other all game long.

[Flagrant Fowl]

We know Booker is one of the most prickly guys on the court, but I'm pretty sure most of the league doesn't like Dennis Schroder. Seems like no one enjoys playing with him.

Being set aside by the LeLakers and then the team he was traded away from had a historic turn around to make the Finals are pretty big red flags.

[Split T]

[Shabazz]

Heyyyy. One of my targets. Nice.

[Superbone]

I don't even know who that is. I will have to look him up.

[Superbone]

Well, he's got championship experience. Did he even get off the bench for the Warriors during the Finals? I don't recall seeing him play.

[Flagrant Fowl]

Maybe he'll get some real minutes if the Suns have shallow bench with KD, but I see Lee as more of an Aaron Holiday replacement.

I just hope they actually try to use him unlike they did with Holiday.

[carey]

Well Lee hovers between 34-40% from 3 with 2 seasons at 39%. Usually around 45% from the field. I think he’s much bigger than Holliday but not as big as Book or the twins. Anyone know if he’s a plus defender? He’s married to Steph Curry’s sister.

[Flagrant Fowl]

Good point about his size, Carey. Maybe my initial read is wrong and he's more of a Shamet replacement.

A little worried he'll be in Monty's doghouse if he's already married because I don't see Monty approving of infidelity.

[ShelC]

Decent depth signing, great experience on a winning team even if he was more of an end-of-bench guy. Good energy and motor, can get into the lane, bigger than Holiday, thicker/stronger than Landry.

Yummy!

Better let Monty's daughters know!

So what’s our current roster?

Paul, Payne
Booker, Shamet, Lee
Bridges, Johnson
Crowder, Craig
Saric, Biyombo

I’d guess Wainright is back, but the KD trade will probably take a big hit on our depth.

Wouldn’t surprise me Iffe is back too
