Who should we target for backup PG?

Isaiah Thomas renounced, wouldn't fit here anyway with Kemba and Monk already being small

Forgot about Bradley. I’d be fine with him too.

Less than 3 million.

Yup, we're getting Tyreke or Bradley.

Im guessing Indy gets Evans because they have the money to outbid us. I think we end up with Shabazz or Bradley.

Bradley is my first choice so I'm cool with it! I know we have 3 small range shooters but Bradley is a better perimeter defender than Tyreke and it's not close.

Bradley is not particularly good at guarding decently sized 2s/3s, which is what he would be doing here next to Kemba and Monk, and he doesn't function as a PG on offense in the way you'd want him to while playing next to Monk. Its not nearly as good of a fit as it seems. Hes not a bad option, but there are others that would be preferable if possible.

I figure 16 of his minutes will be vs. second units. He'd hold the backcourt while Monk lights it up.

Hes a better option than most of the other small Gs because he can at least hold his own against bigger players. I wouldn't be opposed if other options don't pan out, but he just wouldn't be my first choice.

Bradley would be good. Honestly, it sucks Monk needs all this hand holding on defense. We basically have to make sure we have a player that can cover the 1 or 2 anytime Monk is on the floor. I'd rather just trade him in.

He's still a kid and he's one of the most athletic players in the league. Giving up on young guys before they've been given a chance to improve is what terrible teams like the Kings and Magic do. The team didn't give up on Kemba and look where he is now.

He was a luxury pick that we took because he landed right in our laps. Turns out it was a rotten egg and now we either pass it off or let it fester. We have guys ready for those minutes Monk is using right now. He sat on the bench most of last season without even going to the G League. I'm all for rooting for a young guy, but this dude is just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

If we commit to Kemba long-term I agree unfortunately.

Shabazz Napier should be the priority after Tyreke Evans.

bradley to clips 2/25

down to tyreke or napier, right?

Evans'or Napier. Go big or go Huskies will Napier. For Kemba's sake!! Kemba had been the only dude to honestly do right by us 100%. We should make him happy and let him blossom into our franchises best player ever category.

Let's hope.

The Tony Parker rumors scare me a bit. At least on the court last year, he looked done. I can see the easy connection for the media through Batum & Borrego, so maybe it's just fodder.

If they just want a vet presence to keep the offense in flow and are hopeful Graham comes along quickly, I can see that POV, but I think we're all tired of these lame duck back up PG's we keep signing.

Patrick Beverley, George Hill, Matthew Dellvedova, Jeremy Lin all on two yr or less contracts, a trade for any of them would bring a playoff ready short term fit while Devonte gets a year under his belt

I’d like teodosic as well, although it seems Phoenix have the inside track thanks to their coach.

It appears our options are down to Napier, Parker, Mack and Felton.

If we still had Cho, we would've signed Tim Frazier on opening day.

If we can't get a backup PG via free agency, we should inquire about Kris Dunn or Jerian Grant.

People are getting picked up quick. Exum just signed a 3 year deal with the jazz. I’m hoping out of who’s left it will be Napier... at least they would have good chemistry, and he’s still young.
