No. Harris isn't obtainable. He's staying in Philly. Why would he come here when he can play with Embiid/Simmons/Butler in a weaker eastern conference and be in Finals contention every year?
Middleton is not obtainable either. He'll be #1 on the Bucks priority list. And again, its a situation where you have to ask why would he leave his current situation to come here. Milwaukee is probably going to the eastern conference finals this year. Maybe the Finals. He's going to leave? Not a chance.
The only max-ish players we have a chance at imo are...
Kemba Walker: If the Hornets fall apart again and he looks at other options. It's a longshot he would choose us over somewhere else. But maybe DL and DM can sell a good pitch.
Malcolm Brogdon: If we overpay we might get it done. The Bucks are going to be in a rough cap situation
Terry Rozier: Again, if we overpay we might get it done. The Celtics are going to be focused on adding a star like AD and retaining Kyrie. I don't think that they match a large offer for Terry.
He is the most realistic of this group.
Here is our Rozier competition (teams with more than the MLE to spend this summer):
Knicks - NOPE
Clippers - MAYBE
Nets - NOPE
Hawks - NOPE
Mavs - NOPE
Pacers - NOPE
Lakers - MAYBE
Kings - NOPE
Suns - INTERESTED
Bulls - MAYBE
Magic - NOPE
Pelicans - NOPE
Celtics - if Irving leaves, then Rozier stays
If we wanted Rozier, it comes down to Boston, Phoenix, Chicago, the LA teams (should they strike out on bigger targets), and us.
