    He’s legit wing size, okay shooter. Wouldnt mind the add, would prefer a 4/5 but better than adding IT

    ennis would be a great end of bench pickup in the event ariza and/or baze is unavailable for an extended period.

    He can play the 4 and get on with high guys. Would be a great pick

    It is just incredible to have a team run by smart people. I mean, they really think it through and every decision is linked with a bigger plan and all fits.

    Then you have other franchises signing Fournier for 80M or dumping Plumlee and then paying like 10mil to Olynyk, and so on...

    Pelinka can definitely be the GOAT GM in 20y

    Another 3/4 wing defender and a small ball stretch 4/5 is all we need.

    With what's left, I go with 3 of these 5:

    1) Wes/Ennis
    2) Millsap/Ed Davis
    3) Dudz

    If Reaves is ready to join later in the season, (not there yet) retire Dudz mid- season and have him slide over to a coaching position.

    I like Wes' D over Ennis' shooting. Millsap fits with our name hunting, but think Ed is a better fit.

    feel like the plan is to develop reaves in the g-league for the full first year.

    ed davis might be my preference over millsap, simply because you can't play millsap at the 5. honestly, cacock or biyombo is fine with me, too.

    ennis is probably the best of the remaining sfs. weirdly, stanley johnson is still out there unsigned, as is rhj (who's interested me at the min for two years now). i liked mckinnie, too, why did we cut him if these are the pickings at third string sf?

    Millsap is a dog. He can play the 4 with Dwight or the 4/5 with AD. Definitely my choice and I'm surprised he haven't signed yet. I was counting he would get one of the many remaining TPMLE. He would give us good 15/20 minutes

    If we go with Ennis, I would go with Dudz and Cacok.
    I agree with moving Dudz halfway through the season to a coaching role, his biggest contribution will be until the All-Star break as a player. There should be a few buyouts and stuff at the time that we can leverage on

    He said he was busy with other things, and if I remember right, there were a couple posters he was having issues with so he didn't want to deal (pun intended) with them anymore. Most of us miss therealdeal.

    Paul Milsap would be a great addition for 15-18 minutes a game. He's also 36 so he will fit right in lol

    millsap played a total of 50 minutes at center last year, and while his team kicked butt in those minutes, i would guess they weren't at important times.

    i don't know; i'd obviously take him, but i feel like someone could offer him a more consistent role as a backup pf.

    I’ve also seen Ed Davis brought up, and he’s only played in less than 30 games in each of the past two seasons. Playing like only 10 minutes per game in those games.

    I’m not sure if he was hurt, in situations where he fell out of the rotation for other reasons, or if he’s just not good anymore.

    But yeah, while I want another big man for depth and so Millsap or Davis sound like decent options, I feel like that’s more based on name recognition than what they can actually produce right now.

    But then again, even if they are washed up, they really would just be for emergency depth behind our other bigs.

    Surprising that he didn’t sign the 1+1. He could’ve made more money by opting in and signing an extension.

    Although, I’m sure he used this time to negotiate some with Balmer some extra illegal perks for his family, so that probably made up for whatever he lost by not extending.
