    Of those 3, give me Aaron Craft. We have plenty of offensive guards. A defensive stopper wouldn't be bad.

    We currently have Nick Young under contract. KJ is an RFA and I don't think we like Gerald Green. He was in our system for years and we never called him up. Maybe HE didn't want to sign here.

    I agree. I can't see Gerald Green wanting to sign with a team that has waived him before.

    Yeah not sure Green wanted to sign here from a team that waived him years ago.

    Would you guys be open to Tyler Hansbrough for the minimum? As far as I know he is still available. More than anything I like him as an intense practice dummy against Julius Randle while Julius continues to develop his game. Only 29 years old as well.

    Don't think we need any more big man depth. Bass fits that bill though.

    Yeah Bass is a more mature version of that. He'll provide plenty of toughness.

    Hansborough would be ideal if we didnt already have bass.

    I think our last spots should go to a vet pg and a def sf.

    Unless brown is gonna be our 3&D guy

    Well he signed the offer sheet. OKC has three days to decide whether to match or not.

    He's not worth tha much, even with the new cap.
