OK, I keep seeing this guy's name on here and know nothing about him. 6'7" combo guard; he even had 1.2 blocks per 36, shot 38% from three last year, a career best 78% ft, Per of 17.8, DBPM 2.4. And he's a free agent? Not much of a distributor though.

Jordan is coming out of retirement?

Yeah always liked him. I dont believe hes 6-7 though, I think thats 2" too much at the very least.

Yeh, I saw two different sizes and thought maybe he had grown. I think the 6'7" came from Wikepedia, which of course is built by users. I wouldn't be surprised if he put it in there himself.

League filed him as 6'7. It happens.
 
Kyle "Slo-Mo" Anderson. I have always liked his game and thought he could be useful, but has he found a home in Memphis? The thing is, Memphis have a slew of young players and might think that he stands in the way of development.
Anderson is having a breakout year, FINALLY. I think it's the Boris Diaw moment for him: they kept trying to play him at guard and they've finally started playing him in the front court.

Frank Ntilikina. A very similar player to KA: big guard, not especially athletic, very cerebral, good defender. As with KA, his stats look anemic but his +/- numbers tend to be good. I see both of them as better (and a fuck-ton cheaper) versions of Evan Turner. A lot depends on whether Thibodeau likes him.
I guess Thibodeau doesn't like him. Frank's time in the NBA is hanging by a thread:

I'd still trade Rodney Hood for him...

Tyus Jones. Could be the perfect backup PG, and another member of the crowded Memphis backcourt, although they might lose De'Anthony Melton, which might make them more likely to hang on to him.
They didn't lose Melton to free agency, but they lost him AND Morant to injury, so Jones (who started last night) will be logging lots of minutes. He better start hitting his three pointers.

Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot. Another player I have long wanted - I wanted us to draft him, in fact. To be honest he has looked pretty much useless in the NBA so far... UNTIL THE BUBBLE, when suddenly he looked like the player I always thought he could be - a prototypical NBA small forward. But with Joe Harris, Caris Levert, Taurean Prince and Kevin Durant, is he surplus to requirements in Brooklyn? He's the closest thing to a Harkless-type, only a better 3-point shooter.
TLC is no scrub. Currently starting, so his minutes should go up.

Dante Exum. He's probably the biggest name on this list, and has a $9M/yr contract, so probably doesn't qualify as a "bargain". Like the others, he hasn't shown that much, and indeed might be looked on as a bust. But I hold out hope that, like similar player Shaun Livingston, he could have a late-career renaissance, now that he has finally got over his slew of injuries. He also fits the "better Evan Turner" mold. We need ball-handling and defense, and those are two strengths. He also shot 35% on threes on a respectable volume, so he's not like fellow Aussie "next big thing" Ben Simmons from distance that he used to be.
Cleveland has surprised, and while it's not because of Exum, he hasn't hurt them:

Nicolas Batum. Just checking to see if you were paying attention.
I was joking then, because I thought there was NO WAY IN HELL Jordan would buy him out. But whaddya know? A change of scene has worked wonders:

Batum is getting more mpg than Ibaka, Lou Williams or Patrick Beverley, and the team is doing better while he's on the court than when Paul George is.
