He's going to be prohibitively expensive to get him to a level where the Cavs don't match. I also share the concerns about him playing without Lebron (or even Kyrie). He's really good at being a second distributor, taking the ball from the primary handler and moving it properly, but not a guy you want running the P&R for 20 minutes a game. I also have concerns about how long he can continue to throw his body around and not sustain an injury.

I'm hoping for a more "instant offense" backup PG or a big guy like Vazquez / Livingston who can play next to Reggie and give a mismatch when Reggie sits.

I'm a Vasquez guy...

His lack of D worries me though he could run the 2nd unit on his own...

Him playing with RJ would give SVG a heart attack!

MCW! Isn't he a RFA? If so that's an intriguing proposition

Yeah, like Love, or Bosh, or...

Dude come on now. Both of them guys were considered top 10 if not top 5 PF before playing with Bron. That is a terrible comparison. Now Boobie Gibson? Pavlovic?

Livingston would be nice but Vasquez is a terrible basketball player. He's a negative running the second unit or playing next to Reggie. Please no.

Livingston would be a dream too since his midrange post ups and midrange pull ups are Michael Jordan-esque.

In no order:
Livingston
Delly
Lin

Are my candidates to fill this clear and urgent spot.

Tons of respect for Livingston - what he has gone through to get to where he is today is so impressive. Not only did he rebuild his body, he totally reinvented his game.

Pretty much everyone on the Warriors is worth getting, even if it means overpaying a bit. I'd even throw an extra couple of million at Barbosa...... (If we draft a point guard, it's not the worst idea....)

I like the fact that he can hit the three at a good clip and seems fearless. He takes and makes some big shots.

Livingston is a FA in 2017, not this summer.

I am all for MCW off the bench. Dude can be a solid 2nd unit player.

Yup. For some reason I was thinking he had a player option, but his contract is just unguaranteed. There's zero chance Golden State cuts him at just over $5.7 million.
