Lin is most definitely restricted, not unrestricted. Brook Lopez or bust! I think we trade for our PG.
I would really like to see us shore up the front court and possibly point guard if we can't make a trade for someone like Rondo. Obviously Williams, Gordon, and Hibbert will be extremely hard to get, especially because Hibbert and Gordon are restricted. So my list of targets: Deron Williams D.J. Augustin Ramon Sessions Jason Maxiell Eric Gordon Kris Humphries Jason Thompson Ryan Anderson Roy Hibbert Spencer Hawes
One name I would consider adding to the list: George Hill. He had a couple of promising seasons in SA, but doesn't seem to be quite fitting in with Indiana. This might be a chance to buy low on a solid contributor.
I'd like Ersan Ilyasova to bolster the bench. He'd be a realistic signing, too. Were Portland, we aren't going to lure some great player over. We need to get good players via trade.
