Roster Addition Wish List

Wow, that was unexpected. I didn't realize Hardaway Jr. was putting up those kind of numbers. I honestly think he'd be a great fit and him and Donovan make be a great backcourt duo. His contract as actually pretty reasonable as well. Very intriguing, especially if we really could get him for just some of our expiring's without having to give up any other assets.

I think we could... unless they keep him and he’s doing something close to this near mid season... they may decide to just hold on to him.
 
Free agency is fools gold. Middleton and Harris ain’t walking through that door. I know that the idea of getting something for just our space is appealing... but if we sent out our expirings for good players that have longer money on their deals that is essentially the same thing. It isn’t sexy and it seemingly has a lower upside but the likelihood that we get a semi star like Harris or Middleton is so low. Even lower if we keep being mediocre. Our “stars” have always come through the draft... except one time when a guy tricked a blind man.

Kick the tires on Hardaway and Gallo now... Swing for the fences in the draft.
 
If DL can't find a max contract level player to pair with Donovan and Rudy before Donovan's rookie deal is up, then we need a new GM. Luckily, there are multiple ways to acquire such a player. I'd love to see a meaningful FA signing or trade at some point during his tenure, we can't expect to only acquire players through the draft.

I'm a big DL fan, I think he's done a great job for the most part, but I 100% agree with this. We HAVE to find that third piece to go with Rudy and Donovan while Donovan is still on his rookie deal, if we don't then we are screwed.

Don't be a prisoner of the moment. DL kept the ship afloat when team's #1 guy bolted last season. You can't see such smooth transition that often.
It's actually great that he's patient. Because the cemetery is full of GMs that pulled the 'win now' trigger earlier than they should.
 
DL has kept the ship afloat and moving the ole Viking way of many with oars, but I think I speak for many on here when I say that his approach has not been aggressive enough to make us contenders. We need to sacrifice some oars in the hopes we get a motor.

Gobert has said he expects to win a title here. Well, moves that DL makes before this coming deadline will tell me all I need to know about those intentions. We have had some amazing expiring deals the last few years and we never used them to gain a better asset.

When hardly any team had money last summer, we didn't use our money for a Bjelica or any other. We actually just swapped Jerekbo for Niang and Stockton for Grayson. That's it. Sad really...

If we don't try something big with all the expirings of Burks, Favors, Thabo, Udoh, Neto and even Rubio, I think he has failed Ingles and Rudy who honestly only have a couple years playing at their current level. We can't hope and pray for another Mitchell when we have only drafted a couple guys that good in our franchise history. Expecting anything from Free Agency is simply foolish.

What if I told you that you could have Beal for a couple firsts... Grayson Allen and a bunch of expirings...

What if I told you instead you could have a player of similar size, similar production this year, only one year older for just expirings... this payer also makes $8M less than Brad...

Which option you prefer?

I honestly love beal, but we just need another scorer badly

I’d go get Tim Hardaway was what I was hinting at. I think his contract is viewed as negatively but holy **** look at what the guy is doing. I’d go get him now before they decide they can’t do any better in FA. If they moved him they are in range of being able to clear two max spots. He might be this years Oladipo... okay maybe not that much improvement but he’s now in his prime and seems to have figured some things out.
