Undervalued FA Target: Cole Aldrich

[B-Roy]

Aldrich killed us. 8/8 and 2 blocks in 13 minutes.

I think he would be a nice addition. He's stat line for this year looks incredible.

Per 36
60% from the field 71% FT, 13 rebounds 2.3 assists, 3.1 blocks 2/1 steals 15 points. Guy is all over the place.

Biggest down side is that he averages over 5 fouls per game for his career.

Lock Mason Plumlee in a gym all summer till he develops a jump shot, and move him to forward.

Not sure he's gonna be undervalued for long.

Gotta be cautious though. A lil Jerome James stuff might be happening here.

Check his stats he's been good all year, two years now really. Just not playing a lot of minutes.

Then we got to get him!

Agree on Aldrich, who also scores ridiculously well on DRPM.

I will also continue to plug the now-healthy Ekpe Udoh:

Difference is that Udoh is going to want to get paid pretty well to come over I think. Biyombo and Aldrich should be able to be had for a reasonable contract. All 3 good options to look into however.

Udoh is out of the league. What the hell kind of bargaining power does he have?

 

[Orion Bailey]

Question. Who goes then?

I haven't seen his contract specifically but a lot of guys over there get paid more than they would here. So depends on his motivation. Bigger star over there and more money so depends on how bad he actually wants back in this league.

Well Kaman is an obvious. I think Hendo is gone personally. So we will have at least 2 spots open and I could see as many as 4 open depending on if some of our restricted guys get huge offers elsewhere. Finally, as much as I like Cliff Alexander, I could see him not coming back if we did really well in free agency and got too many upgrades. This last one is less likely though imo.

Duh. Forgot about Kaman. Agree with Alexander. Good calls.

The one thing I'm concerned about is his turnover percentage. Career TOV% of 18.1, over 19 4 of the 6 years of his career. Basically, he'd be the most turnover-prone player on our already turnover-prone roster. If we're just talking 10 mpg, then maybe not a big deal, but it's a concern if he's going to be a significant rotation player.
