Whiteside
Horford

Should be our only targets this offseason...
Maybe Howard

But we need a star center...Morris is good...but can be incredible if he's the defense 2nd attention big man wise......

Hopefully we can land one of those 3 and get some youth back for gortat...

Wall
Beal
Porter
Morris
(Whiteside/Howard/horford)
That's a deep playoff team maybe contention if we can stay healthy...

If we strike out on those I say we go for biyombo or mahinmi...
Our major problem is defense and rebounding no offense to gortat but those guys help...
Gortat can get us a good return as well...
Pay your beals....or its lights out!!!
Bron, Bosh, Wade is like Mike, Hakeem, barkley...3 top 5 picks from same draft
mike, hakeem and Barkley on the same team!!!!

Ernie will give Jamal Crawford north of $10mm.

He'll spend the season on IR

I like your secondary targets (Biyombo and Mahinmi). Whiteside is a good idea too. Horford is likely to be entering the expensive decline portion of his career. It's basically a more expensive version of the Nenê deal. He'll get a four-year, maximum salary deal, and probably provide two good years, one meh year, and one bad year.

The team's problems this year were on both ends of the floor. They ranked 20th in offensive efficiency (about a point per 100 possessions worse than average), and 14th in defensive efficiency (about 0.6 points per 100 possessions better than average). Rebounding is interesting. They ranked 25th in overall rebounding percentage, most of the deficit coming on the offensive end. League average offensive rebounding percentage was 23.8% this year; the Wizards were at 20.6%. They were effectively in a four-way tie for 6th in defensive rebounding (Miami was at 77.8%; Wiz, Toronto and Utah were all at 77.7%). But, league average defensive rebounding was 76.2%.

I would erase Howard from this list cause this won`t gonna happened. Gortat doesn`t like Dwight and definatelly didn`t want to give him starting spot. Besides what is the point changing decent healthy C on ex washed up all star who will try to get maybe his last huge contract? It would only broke team chemistry

No free agent other than Durant will make this team a contender, and he isn't coming. When Wall ends up leaving, which is inevitable, we will be back to a garbage team. The high point in the Wall era will be 46 wins and a 2nd round exit.
