Stay happy, that's my wish for you.

This screams Bryce Alford, since he's a local kid...

Shooting .388% from 3 on 7.6 attempts in the G-League.

Other potential guys, we'll probably look for a guard-SF, since we have a glut of bigs already. I'll leave stretch 4's like Travis Wear (.473% on 6.2 attempts from 3) out from the list for now.

Marcus Thornton, not the one who's been in the league before, other Marcus Thornton

.401% on 7.6 attempts from 3.

Rodney Purvis is a 20 ppg guy in the G-League, undrafted this year, 23 yr old.

.372% on 7.2 attempts from 3.

Anthony Brown is actually shooting .411% from 3 on 6.5 attempts, but we've been on that route before, didn't work out.

Trey Burke was a former lottery pick, is scoring 27 ppg and shooting .414% on 6.5 attempts from 3.

Xavier Munford is shooting .476% from 3, also scoring 24 a game. We actually had him on two Summer League rosters in 2015 and 2016, while also being a camp fodder in the 2016 preseason. He'd be a strong bet I think, although he is undersized.
What's the rationale for this list? I mean do veteran FAs command more money?

Also I hope this doesn't lead to a Kuzminskas signing.

1. Can he shoot?
2. Can he defend?

Not a lot of options to be honest

It says we're looking for 10 days contracts. No veterans that are decent anyway, are taking 10 day contracts.

List of players I'd like:

- Mike Dunleavy (knock down shooter, veteran who can help in practice)
- Anthony Morrow (Streaky shooter, length on the wing on D)
- Trey Burke
- Brandon Rush
- Gerald Henderson
- Randy Foye
- Jordan Farmar

Mike Dunleavy is on my list for next season <> see sig.

Might have to release Bogut from that list and look at other C's/PF now :(

Matt Thomas deserves a chance. He would be easily our best shooter. He earned it in the Summer League like other guys like Caruso or Blue.

If we form a superteam next summer, I'd want to sign him again. Top defensive big man, consummate teammate, great for certain matchups.
