Would like to see add Jared Dudley, but he needs to opt out first

We need TWO back-up centers and a starting caliber SF.

Toby Harris is a great fit for us here because he could start at the three this season, but once Stanley is ready to start Harris could start at the four going forward.

Joel Anthony for backup center.

How about someone like Mike Dunleavy? Corey Brewer? Luke Babbitt? Louis Scola(sorry moved over to PF for a sec)? Or even Prince or Butler back if either were interested..?

We have a lot of options :)

Tobias Harris

You need 2-way wings, 2-way shooting bigs, and you can't allow low iq players on the court. Assist/turnover ratio is crucial. Shooting point guards are icing on the cake IF they are plus defenders.
Weaver & Casey, govern yourselves accordingly!

The roster is starting to look pretty decent. I want to try and go after Ariza in a trade maybe. His contract will be dirt cheap with the new deal coming and we won't be handcuffing all our cash to maybe go after a big FA next season if we show some big improvements.

Jackson/Jennings
KCP/Meeks
Ariza/Johnson
Ilyasova/Tolliver
Drummond/(Need a low post scoring backup to run 4 and 1 offense off the bench as well)

Miami would probably pay us to take Birdman, who only has a year to run on his deal. I think we could use a guy with some attitude. Depends what they would include.
Comments to rationalize bad contracts -
1) It's less than the MLE
2) He can be traded later
3) It's only __% of the cap
4) The cap is going up
5) It's only __ years
6) He's a good mentor/locker room guy

Players who can play both the 3, and 4 are exactly what we need. There are very few who can.

Lebron
draymond
Harris

E.t.c.

We should throw the kitchen sink at Harris, he would fit perfectly on this team, the culture, and in stans system.

This feels like a Rasheed level of fit to me. You know when a player will just "fit"?

That's Harris to me. Carrol can't play the 4, so it's either him, or johnson. That goes for danny green as well.

I want a true 2 way player, and Harris is the ticket. His defense under stan, will get better, I'm not to concerned about it. He can post, drive, and shoot the three. Efficient as hell, as well.

Kitchen sink this Stan.

Tobias Harris(or Omri Casspi), Meyers Leonard, Bismack Biyombo(or Joel Anthony)

Assuming the Greens & Middleton cannot be had...

Okay, I'll be "that guy" — Kevin Love.

No, seriously. I know there's < 1% chance he'd even agree to meet with us, much less sign with us. But part of SVG's job is recruiting, and as such he HAS to make his "due diligence" phone call and try to convince Love to sit down and listen to his sales pitch.

Then, after he's politely rebuked, you move on to Tobias Harris.

As for forwards, that's honestly my entire wish list. I don't want to commit big money to high-end complimentary role players like Carroll or Danny Green; our franchise just isn't at that stage yet, and we don't have to try to go from lottery to championship contention in one summer. For now, if we can't hit a home run (or a triple in Tobias' case), I'd prefer short term deals to "bridge" guys in order to maintain our flexibility to add more true core pieces in the coming years. In short, fill out our roster with more guys like Ilysova; improvements over what we've got, but nothing that ties our hands long term.

Back up center is a different story, 'cuz, well, it's a back up position and won't cost a lot (at most we're looking at MLE-level money, and that's current ~$6M MLE, not what the MLE will be after the cap spike). As such, I love the thought of Ajinca; think he's perfect to back up Drummond and probably even has the 18-foot shot to play some minutes beside him. If not Ajinca, I'd take a flyer on Biyombo if the price was right.

Tobias Harris is the perfect fit here. Along with lil b. He will literally curse us into the finals.
