Obviously some of the biggest SF players are guys such as:

-Deng
-Hayward
-Ariza
-( Not including Melo or Bron, we all know they aren't coming to ATL)

But I, as well as other hawks fans, suggest that they will all require whopping pay checks that I just don't see Ferry getting on board for. Don't blame him either. So what I really want to know is, who are some SF players that the hawks can legitimately make a pitch to without over paying? Players that will also fit in Buds system. Here are some guys that I thought might be of some use to us next season..

-Mike Miller
-Danny Granger
-Shawn Marion
-Paul Pierce
-Evan Turner (I thought his price value may have dropped in Indy, so he could possibly be signed to a cheaper deal)

Are there others that I cant think of right now because its to late at night? What type of contracts would you pitch at these guys (or others not named)? Thoughts?

I'm okay with holding off in signing a FA this summer and waiting next year and throwing the bank at Klay Thompson. I think he could be as good as Peja.

1st, I think Korver can move over to the 3 some and share those minutes with Demarre so I don't think it's SF or bust. I would like to focus on skills here too, specifically a driver and creator. Just think we need someone that makes IND think 2x about putting George on Teague. Unfortunately, the guy who fits our needs best is Stephenson and I couldn't offer him unless I had a plan in place to curb his on and off court antics. Big risk, but I do think there's an equally big reward in there too. I'd probably avoid him, but I could get behind him if we landed him.

I do think we may be under rating our chances on Lebron. IF he opens it up and actually shops himself then I think we get a meeting... but I acknowledge that there's no guarantees here. This is one of those if there's a .000000001% chance of landing him, then you still go for it because there is a chance.

I'm thinking Deng gets a Millsap deal. Just think that his demand is low and no one sees him resigning in CLE. IF that's the case then I wouldn't mind acquiring him. Don't think he's a great fit for what I want, but if he comes at value then it isn't a horrible fit.

I always liked a deal centered around Parsons for Millsap. Parsons is an RFA so we'd have to deal for him but I think he'd be a better fit, for similar $$, to Deng.

Next on my personal list is PJ Tucker. Don't think he'll be as low cost as he was last season since we'd have to convince him to leave PHX, but he was an elite 3-and-D guy so I would mind throwing a little more at him.

I'm sure there are names I'm missing right now, but bringing up the rear of guys I wouldn't mind bringing in would be Evan Turner. He's a 2 like Stephenson and his O is suspect at best, but for whatever reason/s, Ferry loves him...
