Upcoming FAs That Would Be Nice Thoughts

Sefolosha somebody ?
6.3 ppg, 3.8 rpg Long, athletic player that puts a lot of effort defensively and hits open threes at a good rate. - See more at: http://hoopshype.com/free_agency_2014.h ... mCf2G.dpuf

I agree with everything. Of course, the whole idea behind this is partly with Monroe or Smith being moved (basically for nothing so that leaves all the possibilities open of adding contracts in this FA period) and using the draft pick however you want. I'm not a fan of Lowry, so I want a PG that's projected in the 6-10 range: Ennis. Both fantasy moves would be an improvement in my opinion. So, I'm looking at wing players via FA. Then just add a couple role players in FA that would be nice, like you said, it's not a real star power type class. It's not going to be a 20 to 50 win swing, I don't think anyone is thinking that. However, having something like:


I added Tucker because he's a 10/6 SF with Phoenix right now and has been stroking 40% from 3 on the year (2.5 attempts per game) and Mike Miller has been around enough for everyone to know what he's capable of when he's not injured. Stretching the floor has been a big problem adding in those two, plus taking away one of Smith or Monroe would really improve that situation quickly.

I respect your line of thought here, Ghost. But, I think Ennis is a reach at 8. I think his athleticism will keep his ceiling low. When he's described as "not having a quick first step", and "plays below the rim" that doesn't inspire a lot of faith in me.

At 8, somebody between Marcus Smart, Aaron Gordon or Noah Vonleh has to fall to us. All of them are superior prospects to Ennis, regardless of team-fit.

If Tucker can be had for a reasonable price, I don't see a reason not to pick him up. If he would sign for something similar to what Will Bynum is getting.

Sefalosha would be nice, but I have a hard time seeing him coming here. Once most players have been on winning teams that long, it's tough for them to jump ship to a team like the Pistons. We would need some momentum with strong GM/coach hires to make it a possibility.

Edit: note: how are you going to get rid of Jennings? And Lowry is having the best season of his career. He's the 1st/2nd option to DeRozan, and he's shooting over six 3s a game on the season which is very abnormal for his career..

I don't get rid of him. There are too many good PGs in the league to get anything positive in return for him at this point. I think that we're stuck with him, but getting benched might light a fire under him and actually force him to improve his game.

Not sure what you point is about Lowry. He's been shooting 37% from 3 this year on those 6 attempts, and in the previous 3 seasons he was shooting 37% on 5 attempts per game. Per36 his number look very similar overall compared to his previous 3 seasons. A/TO ratio held pretty steady too. He's been a good player for a while.

"Who talks on D? Who is the most vocal and who calls out the opposing team’s plays?"
"kyle lowry. always. before every play i ask him, 'yo what they running?'.

usually the team come down the court, lowry will recognize the play and call out what they're doing."

"Who's the one teammate on the Raptors you look up to for leadership?"
"kyle lowry because he's the smartest guy on the team. he makes the biggest impact on the games."
His answers were pretty candid in general, so I don't think that he's just saying that.

I would love Lowry as PG

[jakebernat]

you guys, we're not getting lowry. they love him in toronto, and he loves it there. i'm sorry, but the sooner we all realize that, the sooner we can all agree that the draft is our only real option here of landing a PG.

pray smart drops. at very worst, he'll be rodney stuckey with elite defense which is still a pretty damn good player. at best, he could be similar to chauncey. we have to take a chance.

I like Livingston. Livingston and Jennings could be paired together if we can't get rid of Jennings. Also I'd love it if we had Marcus Smart. Livingston would be a good mentor.

I like Ed Davis if we can't bring back Monroe. I like him even if we can.

I like Alan Anderson.

I like Okafor if he's cheap
