Shaq
Alec
Jingles
Niang/Brantley?
Favors/ Bradley
That is a bench with some balance and versatility and upgrade from last year. That could potentially be done with MLE for Favors, BAE for Burks and min for Shaq.

I remember liking Temple a few years back, and I think it was reported the Quin did too. However, I fear that he is one of the older players that is a gamble as to whether they can actually effectively play anymore.

True for sure, and he was not great this year (38/33/80 shooting). I still think he's worth the minimum and he can give you 10 minutes without hurting the team.

I believe Temple was with Quin when they were both in the D-League. I think he'd be a nice pick up for us. His efficiency wasn't great, but that's low impact because he will almost never take shots like Royce.
Having said that, I would much prefer Kris Dunn or Shaq Harrison. Those guys are going to be steals.

I've actually been on board with the idea of trading Conley for another big contract like Griffin for awhile, I just didn't think we could take Detroit's lottery pick at the same time
It does seem like DET is looking to win more and Blake is the centerpiece of that team. I've seen rumors of them chasing Fred Van Vleet and that would make sense for what their goals are. Fred, Kennard, Griffin, and Woods? Yeah, that's probably a good 7-8 seed in the east which is all they want. Blake is probably tough to get right now.
I think Love, and potentially Harris or Horford (with picks coming) is a more realistic grab. I also think trading Conley just isn't realistic at this time with the quick turnaround. If the Jazz are open to a Conley trade at all, it would be a trade deadline type move.

Shocking news...... Truly shocking......
If v. Denver playoff Mike shows up out-of-the-box, I'm content. While paired with DM = small backcourt, can't beat the playmaking and floor stretching. That his contract wasn't re-negotiated and extended makes me happy though.
