2022 Free Agency Thread

[wizenheimer]

It's a swap. So they're sending the swapped pick. They also own Philly's 2023 pick.

ok

Cmon Cronin, don’t miss out of the FA. Don’t be like the former GM who waits for bread crumbs

 

[SharpesTriumph]

Would it look like this?

Guards: Dame/ Ant

Wings: Grant/ Thybulle/ Hart/ Little/ Sharpe

Bigs: Nurk/ Watford

Don't see Winslow in your list. If we start Dame with Ant I do like the idea of starting a defender such as Thybulle. Need to balance offense with D on both units. I'd still target a forward with the MLE, vet minimum Center, and yes eventually a 2 way or vet min for 3rd string PG.

Dame
Ant Hart Sharpe Keon
Thybulle Little
Grant Winslow Brown
Nurk Watford

Jake said to keep an eye on Robin Lopez as a target for Portland.

I loved Lopez when he was here last but unless he is 3rd string for the minimum salary I am not all that interested for a reunion.

as a minimum center, i'd be happy with it.

If we can get him for vet minimum that would be great.

MLE I'll be pissed.

BAE... well whatever, I'm not sure I would but its fine.

I vaguely remember someone posting that a few months ago ....

Ideally, I'd love a competent backup center that can swing between the 4 and 5 rather than strictly a 5 (and hell, our beloved Robin Lopez is more than halfway to 6 at this point). That said, I think Robin Lopez can still work situationally in the right context for 10 minutes a night. You'd want to be confident that you had a solid small-ball lineup in place though for those nights when Lopez just becomes an extreme liability.

Centers for the minimum: I think I’d rather go after Dieng. Also wouldn’t mind taking a shot on Bol Bol.

isn't that watford, who can swing 4/5?

We could use another 7 footer like Rolo.

Eric it cracks me up because you always look like you're at a funeral when the show starts. And then you start talking and you brighten up, but for the first couple minutes you look like someone just ran over your dog

I absolutely agree that we could use another 7-footer, and if the Blazers feel comfortable with Watford filling that role, I won't complain.

 

[DDolla]

Make it happen Cronin

Trendon played some 5 last year for our tanking team but I don't think he's a legit option for major minutes on a team trying to win... maybe not at all and especially not at the 5.

watford can play 3rd string 5 like Grant Williams played 3rd string 5 last year.

Spurs really going into the full tank mode haha

They honestly should. They are maxed out as a play-in team. They need more talent.

Great. They should just send us Sochan for a future pick.

 

[SharpesTriumph]

Sochan isnt a win now piece.

In a few years if he develops some offense so he isn't a liability, and gets up to NBA speed on defense maybe. This year, no.

I’d take Lonnie Walker in a quick second. Young, a 6’10” wingspan and a deadly outside shooter.

He’d be a good pickup both for now and the future at the right price.

lonnie walker was disappointing for the spurs, thats why they let him go

34% from 3 for his career is hardly deadly. And trending worse as he has taken more.

Oh I thought I saw he was 40%

Exactly.....and another 6'4" shooting guard. He could back up Shaedon, who is backup up Hart who is backup up Ant. At least he'd be in front of Keon and Didi.

i'm sure all the deals that woj announces in the next two minutes were agreed to after 3pm
