Taking suggestions for title.

How about Free Agency Bonanza or Summer League Hot Takes?

Thomas on a 1 yr deal. Not interested in giving out more long term contracts to bench guys.

Why would we throw our limited cap $$ at a backup PF? Is AG going somewhere? Hmmmm

Rodney Hood occurred to me as a FA too. He's way better than he was with LBJ...perhaps diminished his $$ value enough for us to get him. Him and IT could be our backcourt and commiserate about LBJ and IT with a bigger chip than ever on his shoulder is frightening.

Almost seems like it would/will be the best deal for Orlando.. Offer a 1+1 option for the full MLE and be done with it.

I really like Parker but that injury has really dimmed his shine. Want to secure a pg more than anything but wouldn't mind him if it could be on the cheap. I did see his name float around in rumors involving Indy and SAC i think. He would need to play 2 here if by chance he came lol.

Tyreke and Hood/Barton could be interesting.

Think we’re already priced out of Tyreke and Barton. Hood would be a sneaky good add for sure.

Considering he is Horace grant nephew (harvey grants son), i bet he wouldnt mind at all

I actually would much rather have his brother Jerian
