Hendo straight up IMHO.
My picks:
2020 Draft (3rd pick) - Tyrese Haliburton, Devin Vassell, or Onyeka Okongwu
2021 Draft (11th pick) - Moses Moody

We need to get Henderson + Neal off the books but there is no way to do that without having a SG here first and there's no way to get a shooting guard with our cap frozen.

I mean, Gordon for 4.5, nobody wants Hendo at 6?

Meeks at 6, nobody wants Neal for 3?

Im almost for Hairston starting from a talent aspect. Too bad he is one dumb son of a bitch. We need someone to stretch the floor with the starters. And although hes a below average defender hes better than Neal. Hendo will start with his fadeaway jumping ass.

That's why we need Lance.

Will Lance be available in 3 days? I doubt it.

The Jazz are killing us making us wait, it shouldn't be that hard to make a decision.

Instead of signing Marvin WIlliams, we could just trade for Thad Young of the Sixers or Gerald Wallace of the Celtics. Their bad contracts look appealing compared to the Gordon Hayward deal.

Our main threats are the Lakers, Suns, Mavericks, and Heat. Of those I think the Suns are the most likely to pounce on Lance since the others are waiting on Lebron/Parsons.

I wonder what 6ers would want for Thad Young?

Their tank is set and they don't really need the salary dump.

I wonder if we will take a risk on a Eric Gordon or Josh Smith if we miss out on all big free agents.

We can outbid them if it comes down to it, we have more available cap space.

And if we do strike out on all of our targets I wouldn't be opposed to us trading for Eric Gordon if we can offload Henderson and Neal on them. His deal is the same length as Jefferson's is, two more years with a player option on the second. If he stays healthy and plays well for us next year he has every reason to opt out to sign a longer team deal.

Edit: My main problem with Eric Gordon (besides his health) is his turnover propensity. He's not a great creator either and that coupled with his turnovers make him a less than ideal fit for us. So he's definitely not my favorite target for us.

they are closer to a championship team though.

rose, stephenson, butler, gibson, noah, with McBuckets and probably Hinrich and SheJ off the bench with Dunleavy.

get another veteran big and thats a deep side.

it will be interesting to see if they do a desperate trade, or stick with what they have and continue to build.

only go all in on the right fits.

They're in contention with Rose as his old self, but I am highly doubtful he ever gets back there. With a less than 100% Rose I think we will have a better team in the near future. They're not a young up and coming team either, they're in their prime. Lance specifically said he wants to play for a young team, and that's either us or the Suns.

Speaking of Kirk Hinrich, he would be a good signing for our team. good 3-ball shooter, lengthy, veteran presence.

Don't sleep on Mirotic.

He'll play a role for Chicago this season.

With us renouncing all the FA today I wonder if we are looking at a trade before the three day window on Hayward. If we send out Gee along with this room we can take back around 7 million I think. The only reason it makes much sense is a trade or an offer is coming soon.

At this point it might be worth doing another Gordon type trade and pick up another first.

Wonder what the pistons would give us to take Josh Smith.
