I’m reaching here, but is Jeff Green a depth option? He looked good with Houston. I don’t think we have the role for him he might want though. He also usually disappoints.

Thought we could have a thread to focus on free agency starting tomorrow. Here’s what we currently have. Gauranteed contracts in bold, expected back in italics, other options normal.

Chris Paul/Cam Payne/Elie Okobo
Devin Booker/Jevon Carter/Ty-Shon Alexander
Mikal Bridges/Abdel Nader
Cam Johnson/Dario Saric/
Deandre Ayton/Jalen Smith/Aron Baynes

Think biggest need is a 2/3 wing. A 3rd pg would be nice. I don’t mind keeping Okobo as a developmental guy. Probably 2 more bigs for depth if we don’t bring back Diallo/Baynes.

Is Rubio and Oubre better than Paul and Nader?

We need a good player on the new roster to make the trade pay off.

I'm talking league minimum type deal here. I wouldn’t spend our MLE on him.

Yes it’s definitely better.

I don't care if it was a dollar a game. There is a reason he can't stick with any team for any length of time.

I brought it up in another thread before I saw this one, but I'm interested in the idea of Austin Rivers. He can handle the ball and he can back up the 1-3 spots. Obviously I wouldn't allocate a ton of the FA money to him, but I think he's an efficient way to fill some holes on the bench.

I'm struggling to find a wing/forward bench guy that makes sense with the budget and role. Marvin Williams on or near a vet minimum contract would be solid, but I wouldn't want him actually getting minutes if the roster is fully healthy.

Garrett Temple is another guy in that mold. I'd be happy with him on the end of the bench only getting minutes if a regular rotation player is out.

Free agency begins in 8 hours. If we don’t do anything in the trade market, and assuming we re-sign Saric and Carter, we have 5 spots to fill. My guess(which will surely be wrong)

MLE: Paul Millsap on a 2 year deal(2nd year player option)
BAE: Alec Burks on a 2 year deal(2nd year player option)

Then 3 minimum signings. I could see Jordan McRae here. We tried to get him last year, but Detroit got him first. Though if we get Burks he becomes less necessary. I keep Okobo, then just add a vet min C..maybe like John Henson.

Paul, Payne, Okobo
Booker, Burks, Carter
Bridges, Johnson, McRae
Millsap, Saric, Nader
Ayton, Smith, Henson

So Millsap, Burks, McRae, Henson...I’ll throw Denzel Valentine as a wildcard. Hoping to get 1 right, haha

I don't see Millsap as worth the MLE. I know I'm setting myself up for disappointment, but I was hoping for a bigger name FA to justify making the CP3 trade.

Me too. Although he’d be a mediocre signing at this point. Portland will likely sign him though.
I’d really like to have someone with fresher legs.

Sure, so was I, but who better than Millsap is signing for the MLE? Bertans wants 18 million, Hayward didn’t opt out of 34 million to sign for 9. Grant can get more from Denver. Gallo is the one I’m still wondering about. I guess we could go after Crowder?

I think you are misunderstanding my intentions--Im not here to propose solutions. Im just here to criticize options that people are proposing (and whatever the FO ultimately does).
