So Matthew's chose the pacers. Nice. What other options are left? Ellington? If we once again don't add any shooting were done.

Gone playoff time most of these buyout guys won’t even play.

Lowry Green kawhi Siakam and the Ibaka/Gasol are going to account for 90% of our minutes come playoffs. FVV will get most/all backup 1/2 mins, OG will get all the backup 3/4 minutes. There really isn’t any playing time here

morris and lin are the 2 guys we absolutely need. Both can create their shot and are big time players.

Ellington, Markieff, and Lopez would be the 3 I'd like (given that Matthews is likely a Pacer, but he'd be 1st).

OG has been garbage all year, cant shoot and fvv is inconsistent. Where is our shooting gonna come from? What's the point of havong Marc gasol if you don't surround him with cutters and shooters?

A lot of us are focusing on familiar names such as Ellington or Matthews (who has reportedly signed with the Pacers) because we’ve seen what they’ve done when we played against them! Buy with 4 open roster spots you have to assume that Masai and co have a wink wink nudge nudge deal with a few players out there and perhaps the reason why we haven’t heard anything is because trades are not official yet ? I don’t know, I’m just speculating here but I have to give MU the benefit of the doubt! So stay tuned! Lets hope they find some diamonds in the rough!

He's not clearing out so many roster spots and giving up 2nd rounders without having something lined up.

I don't think we have any wink deals.
But he is out recruiting & talking to agents now

And Avery if possible. Markieff is hurt though. I don't know how he's going to fill out his roster though. Maybe Masai is hiding someone in Africa.

I really thought VC would be money in the bank if we struck out on others. Kind of sucks ATL is holding on to him. Wouldn’t be my first choice, but I’d happily take him if our top guys go elsewhere.

Trevor Booker can be another good solution.

Is Nik Stauskas really the hot garbage the rest of the league appears to think he is?
