Yeah, but we don't have to be awful to reap the benefit of those asset.

Let’s sign Torrey Craig to a 1 year vet minimum deal to give us a defensive stopper for them beast small forwards in the league.
C: Adams, Hayes, Maker
PF: Zion, Melli
SF: BI, Craig
SG: JJ, Hart, NAW
PG: Lonzo, Bledsoe, Kira
Then bring in another minimum big man, preferably a center that can stretch the floor and I’ll be fine with that offseason. Wonder how much Thon Maker would cost??
And resign BI, but that’s a no brainer
Call me crazy, but to spice things up significantly, I'd consider offering Boogie a 1 & 1 (League Minimum - CO). If he came in only to spread the court while re-establishing himself, our front court would be a physical nightmare to opposing teams.
Adams (.589)
Cousins (21.2 / 10.9 / 3.2)
Zion (.583)
That's a lot of beef!!! I would bait the opposition to drive the lane.
I would not sign Boogie if it was for free.
Locker room cancer at this point. Toxic personality. Threatened to shoot a woman in the head, if we haven't all magically forgotten that for some reason. Lied about the franchise publicly on multiple occasions.
Batum waived for the right price he would be a solid SF pickup
I have to admit, I don't really have a good picture in my head of Torrey Craig as a player. I just never really took particular note of him. So I looked him up and can anyone explain to me why he's apparently such a no-brainer?
PIPM: -3.04
RPM: -2
BPM: -2.3
RAPTOR: -1.14
Barely scraped league average TS% last season, which was the first time he managed it. Has never shot better than 32% from 3. Good rim finisher on fairly low volume. Higher TOV% than AST%, sub-10% REB%, shot 61% from the FT line last year, and was a -11.3 On/Off this year.
What's the deal?
Wonder if Paul Millsap would come here on a cheap deal to play in his home state?? He would be ideal for Zion to learn from since he’s also a smaller power forward.
He could teach Zion all the little tricks that he uses being a small power forward
I don’t know. I know he’s pretty terrible on offense, but i thought he was good on defense and I think we could use a defensive small forward over anything else. He got some starts for the team that made the Western conference final, so he’s got really recent deep playoff experience. And he would likely be extremely cheap lol
Milsap probably ring chasing with Celtics.
Can’t see Millsap signing here
Who's left then
We will surely be window shopping the summer league GOAT market
The summer league that's not happening?
We've been wishing this same discount for what feels like a decade, now. He never comes. Lol
Also this factoid is.....I dunno....funny? Sad? Fud?Attachment 6550

Yahoo Sources: Small forward Nicolas Batum - who will be waived by the Charlotte Hornets to make room for Gordon Hayward - has begun receiving interest from multiple contending teams.
Bogdon may settle for the QO deal because of the tampering and leave in 2021.
Some of these are very obvious and just haven't happened yet, like AD resigning with LA (it's all but confirmed, they're just working out the length) and Ingram's max here, which he's definitely getting.
But some of the others are kind of interesting. It was reported that Gasol was going back to Spain but the team he was rumoured to be with denied it. Where does Baynes end up, given how good he was last year? Does Portland re-sign Melo on the minimum? Does KCP return to LA? What happens with Millsap, because there's no way he's getting $30m anywhere and he can't use that as leverage on the Nuggets because nowhere has that kind of cap space left.
Interesting.
I know Millsap is unrealistic, but man he would be perfect for Zion to learn from. I want a vet 4 that could teach him a thing or 2. If not a stretch 5 would be cool. Thon Maker is someone that can shoot a decent corner 3, can block shots, and would likely be pretty cheap. How about Tacko Fall baby?!?!
Torrey Craig or Rondae Hollis-Jefferson would be the small forward I would target if we were to bring one in. Kent Bazemore, Bryn Forbes, or bring back Moore if we would go with more of a shooting guard
The defending champs aren’t done yet: the Lakers are still pursuing Bogdan Bogdanovic in a sign-and-trade deal with the Kings, reports @KevinOConnorNBA.

Kyle Kuzma and/or KCP would be sent to Sacramento in the proposed deal.
Can the other 29 teams just make a new league and ******** the Lakers off? No one likes them outside of their own supporters. Would be so much better

Teams who are having a worse period than us:
1. Celtics - Ainge tried to bargain when he had less than 0 bargaining power and predictably lost coz he's a stubbon narcassist. LOL
2. Hornets - a) 120mil to Hayward FULLY guaranteed. Couldn't get a team option in year 4? Or at least a partially guaranteed year for a recovering 30 year old? ok then
b) Stretching Batum. Umm why. Expiring contracts have a lot of usefulness in the game of basketball MJ. Could have taken real advantage of Houston or Washington but no. They obviously needed all that cap space today to challenge for the title. LOL. How can the greatest player ever not bring a single lick of that nous to GMing? Unfathomable
That is all
