Lin and Dedmon would be great adds. So would Ellington.

But I think we missed out on Jamychal Green. We really need some depth at the PF position and other than Mirotic, he was the best available guy and on an expiring deal.

Matthews is the only decent SG. Napier would be a scoop, Kanter also. Kanter could play PF tbh.

Wayne Ellington
Shelvin Mack (he's a PG)
Wes Matthews (if he's available)
Kanter

I'd have to say Ellington, Lopez, and Vince/Lin would be my top targets.

Give me the Atlanta guys. Lin can shoot the 3 better than he has shown this year and I would expect him to get better looks on the Raptors. Dedmon is a great modern big. Shooting 37% from deep, rebounds well, athletic, can protect the rim, etc...

Doesn't seem like a Masai type of player, but I'd be okay with adding him to the bench.

I'd be pretty satisfied with Ellington and Dedmon though

McCaw is not a PG. OG played most of his minutes at PF this year.

I can’t imagine Masai having any interest in Lin. Doesn’t he like long athletic players capable of guarding multiple positions? That sure as **** ain’t Lin.

My money is on Ellington and Morris.

We do need play making off the bench but, I hate seeing Norm play the 3. I'm conflicted.

We need a prayer. I think we get Kanter my gut feeling. But we need some good guards.
