Buyout candidate monitoring thread

[Mavrelous]

Of the names mentioned, I'd consider:
Derrick Rose
Reggie Jackson
as 3rd handler

Serge Ibaka
Dedmon
as 3D center (if Maxi is out for the rest of the season)

I prioritize the frontcourt piece since Maxi has undergone a surgery. There's current no timetable for return. If Rose is being done good by NYK, I would welcome the addition. I'm not particularly high on Reggie Jackson. I kinda like how Jackson competes against the Mavs past few seasons, though.

I don't think I want a guard that can't shoot, i.e. Wall, Westbrook and Beverely. I may consider Barton / Ross if Hardaway goes down. Otherwise, no. Both are streaky as hell. But both are not particularly great. I'd rather develop Green and Hardy.

Maxi was cleqred for contact and should be back after ASB

What about Alec Burks?

Don't think he'll get boughtout

Sources say Noel is not with the team tonight, buyout imminent.

I don't know if he worth a try...

Don't bother, he'll turn it down anyway

Still betting on himself in China

But I honestly would take a look. He could be good defensively here.

Aren’t Denver looking for a PG after getting rid of Hyland? I’m thinking they probably get first dib.

Jackson would be really nice as a 3rd ballhandler.

He’d be worth a shot in my opinion.

If Noel can catch lobs and has good hands catching thr ball, then he'll do ok with Kyrie.

And that chubby European kid, forgot his name...

Would not mind more depth at center I think Pinson looks like a good back stop to use if Green and Bullock need any help at SF. Hardy and THJ are fine enough now to rest Luka and Irving. In the playoffs your rotation shrinks and I see these being the main players.

Luka
Kyrie
Green
Wood
McGee
Max
Powell
Hardy
THJ
Bullock

Maybe we see a few minutes of Pinson Bertans or Morris if he can show us anything before the second season starts.

Center looks better with McGee improving and he should become the starter in time to contribute for the playoffs but backup needs help because Powell is not to be trusted given his past lack of performance in the play offs. When facing a true center that is motivated he will fail and I have zero faith in his being anything but a minor nuisance to a real center like Jokic or even Ayton.

We need rebounding and defense and maybe Noel is an option to audition for the rest of the season. All we need is a bigger banger and maybe he can nudge Powell out of the way. I would have rather taken on Plumlee but looks like clips grabbed him and probably to keep him away from us. Hopefully McGee is back and ready to continue playing well and performing at a higher level than he has or we are in big trouble.

Small ball in the play offs is suicide. You have to defend and not just try to outscore the other team in the play offs.

Max & Wood is decent enough at PF but neither will match up against a true center well enough to win in the play offs.

Ayton is going to be a nightmare. Jokic will be even more nightmarish where is Boban when you need him.

If we get to the finals and Giannis is there cross your fingers we have an answer on defense because he is the ultimate nightmare.

Boston and their center situation not so much so hopefully that is who shows up in that case.

Ross from the bench could be good... But we have to search for defense elsewhere

This is probably the wing depth that Nico is referring to. If the Mavs add Ross for close to nothing in exchange, that would be a plus.

[Mavrelous]

Looks like it's Terrance Ross, good pick up, easily MLE level player, and isn't very old.
