There's always next year (2015 Free Agent Poll)

JTrain · Post #1 » by **JTrain** » Fri Jul 11, 2014 5:11 am

We'd all love to get Love, but which free agents for 2015 do you both want AND think we have a decent chance of actually getting to come here? I want to see some realistic targets that could make us a legitimate top four seed in the West in two years.

Half of those guys (Jefferson, Gasol, Aldridge, Gay) will be locked up by the time FA rolls around. The rest (excluding Love) aren't worth it.

There's not much in the way of realistic in that list. Like SunsFanSSOL mentioned, half of those guys are unlikely to hit free agency.

Premature thread is premature.

Millsap all the way in terms of realistically attainable players and players who fit here.

Your missing rondo.
Also you didn't count any 2011 draft class.

Jonas
Leonard
Thompson
Faired

Edit: except faired.

Guys, I'm not that smart. I was just going off this list and the poll is limited to ten.

Well, looks like we're set:

2nd team: Ennis (or IT?), Archie, Green, Keef, Len

the fact that Amare is even listed on this poll shows how bad this poll is.

MARC GASOL
PLEASEEEEEEEEEE

Nice poll, but you should have just put actual realistic guys up there, because other guys will think guys like Gasol and Aldridge would actually leave the teams they've been with their whole careers to go to a worse team for less money.

So I see I'm not the only one who voted Gay and Faried for laughs.

Amar'e and Milsap. Amar'e will be cheaper than Kieff. Both are def realistic.
I think if Gasol goes anywhere, it'll be NY. Hard to see us on his list but you never know. He'll probably extend with Memphis before teams have a crack at him.

JTrain · Post #16 » by **JTrain** » Sun Jul 13, 2014 11:53 pm

Let's be very optimistic and say we retain Dragic and Bledsoe for 10-12M each, Keef and Len both make strides and TJ turns out to be monster. We win 55 games and Memphis has a disappointing season and finishes around .500. We're one great defensive center away from being a title contender. Marc Gasol agrees and takes a max contract.

Anyone? Nope? Ok. Back to reality. We sign Tayshaun Prince to a 4 yr 32 million deal and finish 8th in the West for many years straight.

JTrain · Post #17 » by **JTrain** » Fri Jul 18, 2014 9:29 pm

So at least 40% of us think Gasol is at least somewhat realistic. He or Jefferson would make this team a contender right away, assuming Bledsoe stays.

Dragic / Thomas
Bledsoe / Green / Archie
Tucker / Warren
Keef / Mook
Gasol / Len

Millsap would help a lot but we would need significant improvement from Plumlee or Len at center.

Dragic / Thomas
Bledsoe / Green / Archie
Tucker / Warren
Millsap / Keef
Plumlee or Len

We could roll with that.
