    Greivis Vasquez in the Shaun Livingston role?

    Yeah, good move. I would guess the last year is a TO; just like Mosgov's. Also, re-signing Clarkson to a team-friendly deal was a major coup. Best summer we've had in awhile.

    I think Vasquez would be perfect for this team. I wonder if there's enough money for a pg and defensive sg like Lee or Aflalo? Stretch Nick young?

    Really happy with this move. Deng is still a pretty good player, versatile, and is a great vet/professional for the young guys to have.

    Jarret Jack or Aaron Brooks, IMO. I like Vasquez, too.

    Ok, need some details on these contracts. Please, tell me that year 4 (on both Tim and Deng) are team options?

    We'll probably find out officially in the next couple of days or so; FWIW, I heard @Banners report on here that Woj said that Mosgov had a TO on the last year of his deal.

    Edit. I didn't hear it personally.

    I hope Woj is right and that we have a TO on Deng's deal as well. Both these guys are past 30 and injury prone...

    Deng has played at least 2100 minutes per season for the past seven seasons. Old? Yes? Mileage? Sure. Injury prone? I don't think that's fair.

    There are rumors Millsap is available. If that's the case, throw together the best reasonable offer you can. He's ideal for us and would instantly get us in a much better position.

    He's kind of "hurt" prone. He gets banged up a ton but he's a tough cat. He'll try to play through things.

    We need a PG probably. A vet big to play a handful of minutes and mentor would be nice, too.

    I was begging people to stay patient. :D

    We're not quite done and yes I realize this isn't the amazing off-season we were all hoping for, but it's also not the worst thing in the world. I'm feeling really good about it so far though. I'm just happy they've got a plan and we're getting the veterans they promised us.

    They RFAed Huertas so... There's their fall back if they need to, but I'm with you. I'd prefer a better option. The more I've thought about it, the more I like the idea of Sessions but I have no idea how much he'll cost.

    I'd trade Randle for Millsap in a millisecond. Millsap is so grossly underrated.
