Nikola Vucevic as a Plan B?

He's balling out this season and his defense has improved along with his passing. If we strike out on the big boys, maybe grab him for 2-3 years at a reasonable rate to play in front of Mitch.

What other plan B or plan C guys are worth looking at if they can be had for reasonable/fair movable contracts?

Thoughts?

No, I'd rather sign nobody or make a trade and absorb a contract or 2 for some picks OR trade some assets for a good player and absorb some money using our cap.

But signing guys the caliber of Vucevic when you have a poor roster does nothing for the team. All it does is burden you. You might as well tank again in 2020 if that's the case.

He’s a beast but nah I’m good. Keep it moving. If we strike out just keep building through the draft and one year deals.

Nope. And no to Tobias Harris and Middleton too.

Hell naw.

Vucevic, Tobias, Cousins, Middleton better all be off the table. Kemba is borderline in that convo too

Orlando is gonna max him. I honestly see Perry stockpiling picks, getting young players, and taking in bad contracts if we fail.

Nah, he doesn't fit the style of play Fiz seems to want.

If they strike out on the star FA's, I'd only sign players on 1 year deals; similar to what Lakers doing with KCP. He's a solid player who can help a team, but he's taken 2 1 year deals that paid him a higher annual salary

I honestly don't think they want to keep him. Good numbers, not a long term winning player at an elite level. If you're a big that can't play defense, you better be jokic good on the offensive end as a playmaker...he's not.
