Leandro Barbosa
Norris Cole
Langston Galloway RFA
Austin Rivers
Deron Williams
Rajon Rondo
Mario Chalmers injured
Jarrett Jack injured
Kirk Hinrich
Brian Roberts
Steve Blake

Jordan Farmar
Ray McCallum
Phil Pressey
Ronnie Price
Pablo Prigioni

I'd go hard after the three RFAs, either Johnson, Galloway or Curry. Center is deeper and we can wait for a cheap option.

Brandon Jennings- Nope
Ramon Sessions-Maybe
Tyler Johnson RFA- really doubt Miami lets him go to division rival
Shane Larkin- maybe
Andre Miller- DNP old
Seth Curry RFA- kings will match
Greivis Vasquez- maybe
Aaron Brooks- maybe
Ray Felton- maybe
Ty Lawson- too crazy
Leandro Barbosa- is he a PG?
Norris Cole- maybe
Langston Galloway RFA- knicks match
Austin Rivers- too expensive
Deron Williams- non-backup too expensive
Rajon Rondo- non backup too expensive

so our options are. Sessions, Larkin, Vasquez,Brooks,Felton and Cole.

going to say Sessions 2yrs 11million

Lawson and Rondo are probably out. I don't see the Hornets tying up cap space with a RFA either given how precarious their situation is.

I'm not feeling Sessions back either. Just doesn't have the range the team really needs at that spot.

As mentioned elsewhere I would LOL if Felton came back.

Really slim options in FA. Delly is signed, Bayless, a player I like, I believe is signed? Chalmers just annoyed the heck out of Lebron, Wade, and Bosh and although I love his defense, something about him says disruptive guy in the locker room. Since the group of guys on this team are so harmonious, I think it would matter and wouldn't go with him. Hinrich is rather limited. Maybe get one in a trade?

Galloway isn't bad at all. He might work out.

Seth Curry.

My hope with Tyler Johnson is the Heat are focused on retaining Wade. They need to come to Wade with a much better offer than their first. Perhaps they have to lose Tyler in order to keep Wade. I haven't looked at their cap situation, so maybe with Deng and Johnson leaving, they now have plenty of space to max out Wade and keep Johnson

Having watched much of Seth. Is he a great shooting PG primarily or does he have nice handles with good D? What are his strongpoints? I'm thinking he's a good shooter from the little I've seen of him, but I don't remember much else that stood out.

I think from what I have seen he has gotten better since he has been in the league. His handling and passing was questionable coming out but he is tightening things up and improving those PG skills.

Sessions, Curry, Chalmers (Hey, he is a Panthers fan.), Jack. Hopefully the last two would be on cheap(er) prove it deals but I really think Cho already has his backup PG on the roster.

Can this be a new board rule? We have to refer to him as "you know who" or "he who should not be named". Kinda like a Voldemort situation.

Why not Deron Williams on a 2015 Lin prove it deal?

there is no way he agrees to be a backup for the small amount of money we can offer.

Where else is he going to go to start? The Mavs are really his only option, I doubt he goes to Sacramento but I guess they are a crazy organization

Deron should call the Bulls
