So not really "cheap". Maybe hes insurance in case Lopez goes down?

I just see a ton of big men on their roster with
Reggie Evans
Lopez
Wallace signed to that huge contract
Humphries
Blatche

Someone on that roster has to go. They signed KH to a 2 year deal, I think hes the most logical one to depart. Unless they can somehow entice someone to take Wallace.

Not sure I was clear: Unless you're willing to offer $8M or 3 guaranteed years, then it makes more fiscal sense to Blatche to sign the vet mini with BRK... not sure I'd be willing to break the bank on someone a team currently in the top 10 cut less than a year ago.

Gasol, at 7 feet, 250 pounds, can play center. He'd be a great one year rental. He's better than Josh. Even at this age.

Didn't realize LAL can't do a sign and trade. (We should have done this trade last season!)
Maybe ths change if they amnesty MWP. Or if Dwight leaves in FA.

Thoughts on Jarrett Jack potentially as a low-cost replacement for Teague? (Should JT price himself out of our range.)

As a Bigger guard, he could fit next to Lou Williams a bit better than Teague did. (Defensively.)

The production from Jarrett and Teague is similar. If we were to pursue a guy like CJ McCollum in the draft, Jack is big enough to play next to him better than Teague, Devin or any other PG on the market. (Defensively.)

I'd pursue him, but for no more than $6 mill per season. (Maybe a 4 year/ $25 million deal).

I'm going to run some numbers over the weekend and will post a list of guys who I think are currently undervalued and who fit our needs. Look forward to it on Mon

I like him at the position.

I think our coach will dictate the importance of the point guard though. If Drew is still the coach, I think the position is plenty replaceable. I would rather have a point with a better three/midrange game(Jack fits the bill) than Teague(who is solid from both, his shot is just so slow he rarely gets to take it).

The question is, would GS let him go after the run they are going to be on. With Curry being a injury waiting to happen, I think they would retain at all cost.

I want Tony Allen and a good defensive big. Get Tony and Jermaine and that would be good. Get a good PG like Barbosa who can score a little and dish the rock. Wouldn't mind Ronnie Brewer, or Corey for that matter. Vince had a very decent season and would be a positive addition.
