Cheap/Minimum Level SF Help 

Post#1 » by Superiorblogman » Wed Dec 7, 2011 12:44 pm

Okay, so we have Josh and Marvin who can both play SF and Joe also. Do we really need more help at the position. I say yes because it is going to be a grueling season where depth will come into play several times over. Fatigue is natural and when play 3 games in a row or 9 games in 12 nights you need as much depth as possible and I am not talking about the same players playing multiple positions and logging crazy minutes. Considering we don't have much in the form of spending these are some guys that might be available for the minimum or a little above.

Al Thorton
Dejaun Summers
Damien Wilkens
Garrett Temple
Earl Clark
Jamario Moon
James Jones
Jarred Jeffries
Jason Kapono
Josh Howard
Julian Wright
Marquis Daniels
Maurice Evans
Mike Dunleavy
Peja
Shawne Williams
Tracy McGrady

Decent List there probably one of the stronger pools and a couple of these guys can actually play some SG also.

From this list I like: Al Thorton, Damien, Earl Clark, James Jones, Jason Kapono, Josh Howard, Marquis Daniels, Mike Dunleavy, and Tracy McGrady

If I had to pick one all things considered. I would take Al Thorton because of his youth, potential, and he has not been injured much to my knowledge.

Who do you prefer from this list?

T-Mac is my choice, because he is the better player of them all plus he can play SF, SG, and PG.

Earl Clark although he is a PF (inside) tweener to the utmost. Has the length size and potential to make some of our core expendable down the line and increase our roster flexibility going forward. altho his attitude (always looks pissed) lack of shooting and inconsistency worries me.

CLARK!! Al Thornton for SG, please.


Sy, Thornton, Marvin, Clark, Pachulia

Bret LaGree, Hoopinion: Players who can create or convert higher percentage shots: at the rim, beyond the arc, and by getting to the foul line. It’s really difficult to be consistently productive with an offense built around two-point jump shots.

If he falls cheap enough Dunleavy. I'm concerned about his health, but feel we could use some higher basketball IQ players on our bench.

We should pick up Shawne Williams just so him and Marvin could beef in practice and get Marvin to actually get motivated to produce on court.

Good news it is reportedly for the minimum. Don't know if there is a better minimum level player out there. He can give us 8-10 pts a night. If he can play 45 games and give 8-10 a night that is a big bargain. Marvin fully healthy is a tad bit better at best and I doubt that. :D

Good move Sund and the ASG, keep them coming. :lol:

We reportedly have locked up T-Mac for the minimum. He is about as good as it gets for a minimum level player.

Would have preferred Al Thornton.

If McGrady is averaging 10ppg on your team, then he's playing way too many minutes. Off the last 2 years 22mpg and 8ppg.

With a toxic offense vs defense rate. T-Mac's been bad for the last 2 years.

I would mind trying to go after Jefferson cheap...once amnisted by the Spurs.
and then trade for Nene
JC1 + Zaza + KH for Nene + Miller

Smoothe- Miller and 1st to NO for Paul

Paul-JT- Sy
JJ- Tmac- Vujacic(FA)
Jefferson- Marvin
Horford- FA (Wilcox) -Rolle
Nene- Benson- Collins

None of that is happening. You would think with all the tools out there on how the cap works people would make more sensible posts. Jefferson will have to clear a bunch of teams before we have the option 1st of all. Then, we would have a chance to pick up a portion of his salary which must be agreed upon, which would be more than minimum and would be another factor putting us closer to luxury. Jefferson is not worth that. If he clears waivers and no-one wants him and we can pay him minimum shoot for it, other than that not happening, and the chances of no-one wanting him and he totally clearing waivers, not happening.

Dunleavy wasn't cheap enough. 2 yr/7.5M to the Bucks.
