I'd really like CJ Miles in that Danny Green role either way.

imo he is a bit too slow for a starter.

Gordon Hayward will meet with Quin Snyder, Dennis Lindsey and Steve Starks in San Diego on Monday, not Utah, according to sources.

He is passable if that is what we are stuck with after FA(the lineup of Jrue, Moore, Hill, Davis, and Cousins was a +16 net rating), but I do agree he could be improved and ideally would be a nice punch off the bench for a dozen or so minutes and additional minutes when he is hot. Replacing him with someone better. Or at least more in synergy with our current starting group would be ideal though.

Maybe we could try Solomon Hill, Alex Ajinca, Quincy Pondexter, and 2018 1st rounder for Eric Bledsoe & Jared Dudley. Let's be real, Asik isn't going anywhere unless we take on a bad contract. The only ones they may have is Brandon Knight or Jared Dudley. Sign Nick Young and some other players to fill out the roster.

C: Cousins, Asik
PF: AD, Diallo
SF: Young, Dudley
SG: Holiday, Moore, Crawford
PG: Bledsoe, Cook, Jackson

You need guys at the guard spots that can make defenses pay to make the whole thing work.

Yeah true. I guess I'm just concerned with Lawson's past with alcohol and being on Bourbon Street where it flows like water could be a bad mix. I'm just anxious waiting for something to happen.

Sources: Minnesota Timberwolves have expressed interest in Justin Holiday. Worth noting he played with Jimmy Butler on the Chicago Bulls.

I wish Jrue could try to convince his brother to come here. New York has a strong interest in him as well.

Are you serious we just lost Bazz Bc of Gibson? Wow I was happy with the Wolves for almost 2 weeks. Darren Wolfson: Best way to say since deals aren’t official yet: ‘Bazz camp alerting teams he’s now UFA. Two texted to say they’re told he’s UFA. #twolves

He will probably expect 12 million a year to sign with the Pels based on how much they overpay.

I don't see Asik on this team next season. I think we get at least one more big. I think we will target a trade using the players and pick you mentioned.

Defensively they are probably about the same (maybe you could give the slight edge to Hill since he can guard 1-4 and is younger) , Joe is a much better shooter though.

Which contract is better will depend on what type of improvement Hill makes this year with the new way our offense will be ran and also how much Joe falls off over the life of the deal.

Very much so. Joe Ingles is like what you wanted Hill to actually be. Solid defender, good passer, and hit 46% of his catch and shoot three point shots. 40% of pull ups(though only 72 of them last year). Compare that to Hill's 37% catch and shoot numbers and 15% on pull ups. Less consistent and less efficient passing.

Solo is a exponentially better defensively than Ingles. Ingles guards 2's and weaker 3's. Solo is tasked w/ LeBron, Carmelo et al. I'll take Solo 7 days a week over Ingles. Not to say I wouldn't take Ingles! I like him. BUT !!

What's wrong with this picture? Joe Ingles - 6'8". Shooting guard & shoots 44% from 3pt range. That is really impressive. So, then why/how does someone w/ those vitals play only 24 MPG & average 7 PPG ? He is not very good defensively & he has zero foot speed w/ zero handle. He is strictly a shooter.

He requested the move as he was on a one year deal and wanted to try and get more playing time elsewhere. Backfired on him.

A serious candidate for a portion of Golden State's $5.2M exception, per ESPN sources: Free agent guard Nick Young.

I can't believe we have not signed anyone yet it boggles the mind I'm not Dells number one fan by any means but this is ridiculous even for him . Hopefully he's got something going on that will help us .

As @wojespn reports, Nick Young considering Warriors. Chance at a ring big to him; teams like Pels have more playing time/shots to offer.
— David Aldridge (@daldridgetnt) July 2, 2017

Young's eligible for part or all of Warriors' $5.2M exception, if he's willing to pass on more lucrative mid-level exception opportunities. https://t.co/uBZFabge1M

Don't be one of those. We used to have them all the time on SaintsReport.

The "Why haven't we signed anyone yet?" posters.

Calm yourself and wait.

Hell. You can see right above us why some guys haven't signed. They're mulling all their options.
