A lot of teams have money and they both come from teams that have been very good lately, and I don't know if they would want to sign with a team that has had such a terrible past few years, even with the Vogel hire. I know Dwight is an option, and honestly he's probably the best chance of landing a big free agent, but I'm not going to put him on my list. If it happens then it happens, but I don't even want to think about that right now.
What I would do is try to sign a few good players to help make the playoffs with and then try to make a big splash in 2017 free agency. This gives Vogel time to work with what we have, and helps us see who is worth keeping. So that also means I wouldn't consider trading anybody until the trade deadline for that very reason.
Draft: Take the best big man available. Right now I like Davis and Chriss. 2nd round, just take a couple of guys to stash in Europe or D-League, pray you might get lucky with one.
Free Agency:
- Resign Evan Fournier - I like Evan a lot more than most around here, but he was given too much free reign under Skiles. I think we would be crazy to not bring back a 23 year old who scores like he can though. If anything you do what you did with Tobias, sign him and trade him if you want, except with Hennigan making the deal, not Skiles.
- Sign Ian Mahinmi. Gives us a good defensive big off the bench and is a Vogel guy.
- Sign another wing. I don't want to sign someone like Parsons to a giant contract to. Go after someone like Bazemore or Evan Turner, who will probably sign a 2-3 year deal at a decent price. I'll go with Turner for now just since he's another Vogel guy.
- Bring back Nicholson or Smith. I rather go with Nicholson.

Sign Mahinmi he'd fit in here perfectly.

Not only that but he wants us to sign another swingman when we already have 3 players that will eat up a big chunk of minutes (Evan, Dipo & Mario) and we also have Marble if something goes wrong with those 3. Besides that, we also have CJ who can play SG and Aaron who can play SF.

Didn't realize he was that short, he holds his own against much bigger guys then. But I don't think we can start Fournier at the 3 is all I'm saying, if we're going the "AG is a 4 route".
Don't think it is so laughable to want a small forward on the roster after Mario other than Marble.

i dont think it is laughable, i just think Bazemore is more SG than SF. Atlanta just couldnt have Korver guarding SF's as he would have gotten destroyed more than he was at SG.

I also don't think Fournier should be starting at 3 but if we plan to keep him (and I'm positive we will, unless Nets offer the max), I'm like 99% sure he'll start as a SF (Elf-Vic-Evan-AG-Vuc).
So basically out of 96 swingman minutes, I expect Vic to take 35, Evan 35, Mario 24 and Marble 2 (fouling, crunch time defense etc.)
I'm sorry if you got the wrong impression, I wasn't laughing at you, just sayin' we won't need another swingman.
