Re: Free Agent Targets
None of the above. Outside of the Bulls draft picks, I'm cool with the rotation looking the same as last season minus Dunn. If the Bulls could play themselves into seventh pick-ish status next season, it's a major win for the roster and organization.

Re: Free Agent Targets
A few players with player options coming up may be worth watching. Guys like Dinwiddie, Barton, Jrue Holiday, and Looney.

These guys have PO's for 2021 (i.e. after this next season). For this off season they're not FA targets at all.

True, but they're still notable guys to keep your eyes on, especially since the Bulls aren't landing bigger names even sooner than 2021.

KCP may be a solid MLE type candidate for one year.

I would think he'll be looking for a multi-year deal for MLE, and I think he's shown enough to get one. I also think he's a viable starter and is going to be looking for mid-teens, and I'd consider it if I didn't have a SG. But if we could get him on a one-year $10M deal, sign me up!
Despite wanting to use our MLE on a young guy with remaining potential like Giles, Saric or Jones Jr., I'm thinking the FO doesn't take on any multi-year deals this offseason, which lowers the bar on what we can expect. We may be stuck choosing guys of Shaq's and Val's ilk. In terms of SG's, I'd be ok with that - I really like Shaq at vet min. I'm sure there is a g-leaguer worth looking at as well.

Re: Free Agent Targets
KCP is a bad idea. He's exactly the kind of player to avoid.
Not to mention he very well could get more than the MLE.

I wouldn't touch him unless its a one year deal.
As mentioned above I think AK will just go clearance shopping for good vet mins.

A couple other names I'll throw out there.
Christian Wood - I'm not sure if he'll end up falling in our price range, but he really looks like a borderline star in the making. The way this guy generates production will always make him valuable. He's also a very high-skilled player.
Jae Crowder - Not a flashy name by any means, but I think we're all seeing in the playoffs how valuable he can be. I think it's what we hoped Thad Young would be, but wasn't. Crowder is a tough, physical player who can defend multiple positions and spread the floor in a small-ball lineup.
Harry Giles - I think we're all familiar with him as a guy who was considered a high lottery pick before his injuries. Giles has been productive in limited PT, and appears way less raw than we were expecting. I think he'll bust out in the right situation. I truly believe this is a Jermaine O'Neal situation.
I like Wood the best out of these 3...

I'm with you, although I'd be stoked to get any of the 3.

No chance Wood is available for the MLE.

Re: Free Agent Targets
This is just not a year for free agency
Need to flip lauri during the draft add a couple vets for min 1 year deals draft well hope we can be a 7th 8th seed and have 2 max slots to offer next off season. That is our fastest way to contention

Probably not, but I'd be shocked if he's a top 3 target for anyone with caps pace. For that reason, I think there's a chance that he flies under the radar and possibly misses out on a payday.

Well, he's very likely going to be the top target for the Pistons, who have capspace.

Maybe worth a shot as a minimum guy, but certainly nothing more. Don't really see the potential there.

Pistons have a new GM and Woods isn’t restricted, which means there’s a lot of unknown here. With how little the Pistons have going for them, it wouldn’t surprise me if they’d decide they prefer to remain flexible than commit to Woods long-term. All that said, it’s worth mentioning that a sign and trade could be a possibility if he’s out of our price range. Detroit’s leverage is lessened by that fact that he is unrestricted, so the option to woo hum on the open market exists in a tangible way.

Seems like a no-brainer for the Pistons to keep Wood right now, especially because his market isn't going to be great this offseason. They desperately need talent and Wood (just turned 25) is probably their best one right now. I think he'll re-sign quickly after free agency starts.
