My favorite of the bunch would be Gordon Hayward but I don't think he could be had if it's true that Utah will just match everything.

Amongst the free agents I'd pursue Nick Young.

For trade targets I feel Jeff Green could fit here.

Isaiah Thomas has the same stats as Kyrie Irving, and the kings don't seem to want him. I'd throw 8-10 million at him. Insurance in case rose is awful. Idk why he isn't being talked about.

Cuz you don't build a win-now roster on the basis that Rose might suck so bad you need a star PG behind him. If we need Thomas, we're screwed. If we don't, we've buried a 10 million dollar player on the bench.

Niko Thomas and Ariza. I wonder if we could put this team together if we strike out

ROSE/THOMAS
BUTLER/SNELL/ROSE
ARIZA/MCBUCKETS

lol @ calling Wade washed up, then immediately following that with a comment about going after Paul Pierce. :D


well, pierce has been much more reliable than wade imo. And would be much more likely to take less $ and still has knees. He's also a good shooter, where wade isn't.

I like Waiters, Stuckey, and Burks. All for different reasons. I like all of them more than lance at 12M per too.

I like Eric Gordon too but Bulls wouldn't touch him.

I'd trade The Sac pick and our 2015 1st for Hayward at like 12-13 million. Then sign Mirotic with the remaining $4 million.

Hayward Room Exception
Butler Doug

I'd trade Snell MDJ and CLE swap for Waiters.

Aaron Afflalo. Rumor has it the Magic are ready to unload him for an end-rotation player and a low second round pick.

I say at this point just turn the SF role to McD.

Kid will do great.

Rose
Butler
McD
Gibson
Noah

Is a much better offense/defense combo compared to last yrs team.

Not interested in Ariza, way too inconsistent overall as a pro. I guess the same could be said for Young, but I like his skillset better for another scorer.

I would be down with this.

If you can't trade for Love, Mirotic and Nick Young would be an okay plan c.

Bulls have to add a SG though. We would be going onto 6 seasons without a legit sg in the starting lineup.

Okay...so if we can't get melo or love, sign Mirotic and Nick Young and bring back dj.

Rose, DJ
Young, Butler
Mcd, Dun
Taj, Mirotic
Noah, Smith.

That's a deep team and well balanced.

Grim outlook here but I would sign Nick Young on a 2 year deal with an option for a 3rd year.

Lance I just cant trust no matter how hard I try lol, he already turned down 5/44 from Indy. Cant throw crazy money on a lunatic.

Waiters maybe if he is available for something reasonable.

Yeah Nick Young is the best I can come up with. 3/12 with the 3rd year being an option?

I'd love Morrow instead of an overpriced Stevenson
