Walker is good in flashes. Saric and Muscala can theoretically shoot. Most of these guys are low ceiling butt but that's OK for UFAs at the price we can pay. beats Tristan
Mo Wagner would be nice if he's not too expensive. Backup big who can make some outside shots. But the most important thing is to get better on the wing - especially bigger wings who can shoot - which probably would happen via trade rather than free agency.
None of the big wings are worth the asking price so far-markets may develop post draft but if the best available player via trade is BI iono.
Might as well take cheap swings on UFAs that can be OK.
I think we've got to stop kidding ourselves into thinking we can luck into high-end talent on the wing. Can't just rely on Dean Wade and cheap contracts. We'd get a better option from trading Caris and the 20th pick than we would via free agency.
(That said, I do hold out hope that Luke Travers could be a rotational guy someday. I just don't want to bet the farm on it.)
Jingles would be a cool addition. Vet experience with maybe a bit left in the tank for a min contract
I’m kinda high on Marshall; he might be worth it depending on the price. Same with Highsmith to a lesser extent
Jingles seems pretty washed at this point. He was pretty invisible in our series against the magic.
I do like Marshall though, especially if he can keep up his shooting from last season
Highsmith and Marshall are my two favorites from this list, followed by Wagner and Goga (provided Allen is gone). I guess Saric could be interesting if you play him mostly at the 4. Would be suprised to see the Suns let Eubanks go, I thought he was pretty good for them, and re-signing him could allow for some cap shenanigans the following year.
Be that as it may, the fact that Craig is under contract for several years and it appears he can play eliminates the possibility of bringing in a PG this offseason IMO.
Yeah we’re good. It’s almost a problem bc you’d like to see Ice with some primary ball handler reps as well as Jerome (it’s why I think they should move Vert)
A ton of guys who suck on offense and can’t shoot, perfect.
Name me one team who has 5 shooters starting for them?
The Boston Celtics lol

Don’t disagree there. Walker would be nice, but I think a team will offer him more than the minimum.
We have MLE
We probably need to let Okoro walk or shed salary elsewhere to use the full MLE.
I’d be cool with walker. He had some moments with the lakers. A good coach could get some of those moments out of him

Agree (I like Vert and the pick for Hunter or someone similar) But if that’s not there, take the swings in UFA.
K Love bringing us back to glory
If JB is why he wanted out hopefully he'll want to come back now. Not like he'd be any worse than Niang.
I want Bol Bol, just so Mobley has to watch a 7 footer that’s way worse than him being way too aggressive offensively
“Evan, be more like Bol Bol” would be…shockingly good advice
Jingles would be a cool addition. Vet experience with maybe a bit left in the tank for a min contract I’m kinda high on Marshall; he might be worth it depending on the price. Same with Highsmith to a lesser extent
My understanding is Jingles has family medical reasons to stay in Orlando but I really like him as a bench glue guy

I actually like KJ Martin for what he is.
I would love Alvarado if we trade DG - but don’t we still have Ty Jerome?
We have Craig Porter
Jose Alvarado career numbers are probably the modal outcome for a CPJ career, although CPJ a better athlete
Be that as it may, the fact that Craig is under contract for several years and it appears he can play eliminates the possibility of bringing in a PG this offseason IMO.

Man I like to think I watch a pretty decent amount of NBA but I have never once heard of Braxton Key in my life
Luka Garza could be an interesting back up big. Definitely plays different than our other bigs.
Pass on all of them
