    KCP, Rondo, Stephenson, Bullock, McGee, Chandler, Caruso. (did I miss any?)
    I'd be surprised if 3 or more of them return.
    What are your hopes & guesses with these guys..?

    For me it's:
    1. McGee
    2. Bullock
    3. Rondo
    4. Caruso
    5. Stephenson
    6. KCP
    7. Chandler

    Yeah.. I was tempted to put Caruso higher on my list too.
    Seems like a "glue" guy. & I'll be bummed if Javale leaves, but he's smart. If they lowball him, he's gone.

    ^^ I had to put rondo above Caruso just because I'm nervous about who'll be our main PG if Lonzo's gone..?

    • McGee has to return IMO. Dude can play, he does exactly what we need him to do, had his best season with us.
    • Bullock, if he is not asking too much is a proven shooter we can use. OK, Luke did not know how to use him, but you can see he's a real NBA shooter, no question about it.
    • Caruso I like very much. He has proven he belongs in the NBA, plays tenacious basketball and is more athletic than people give him credit for. Improved his shot too. Tough guy. Would not mind having him at all.

    The rest can go. Except if Rondo gets some kind of coaching gig. But he can't defend anymore and can't shoot either.

    McGee. Very likeable, team first big. Love the hustle. He's a great fit and had a great year. If he didn't get sick, he would've crushed it all year. But the we wouldn't have been able to showcase Zu to bump his trade value. Oh wait...

    Plus McGee and AD's length together is scary.

    If we can't find other shooters, I wouldn't mind bringing Reggie back either.

    KCP can't pay us enough to allow him back. Go away.

    -Mcgee for sure. Maybe as a backup if we get a stretch 5 like vucevic or if AD plays starting center. Or, Id be ok with him starting if we get a solid backup center
    -Caruso is a no brainer 3rd string cheap pg
    -Id actually like rondo back as a 15mpg backup pg. He has great chemistry with AD. I think most of his s****Y play was due to apathetic carelessness due to our team being so disappointing. On a legit contender, he'd be valuable...probably.
    -If Lance would take the vet min and be ok for situations where we need 15 minutes of iso chucking, and other games getting DNPCDs, id roll with that. He microwaved us back into many games last year.

    If we trade Zo in the AD package, we need a starting pg not named Rondo. If by some miracle we keep the 4, Garland would be sick! Realistically, maybe a non-floor general 3 n D pg like Beverly for the MLE/room exemption?

    Punk’s explanation on Rondo is exactly what I was thinking. Rondo is experienced and smart. Plus he is willing to punch an all star, so he’s tough. And you have to think about the playoff run. That’s Rondo territory when the young guards get nervous.
