I think if you can nab someone for the room exception that projects to be a good value on a 1+1 contract… if not I think we do end up making a trade. You’d want to finalize the JC extension first just in case you took a bit more salary in.

Not looking at a list I think Oubre might be the best candidate for something like that.

I wouldn’t mind that….although with Oubre that’s probably a player option year 2….but that’s fine.

I like Derick Jones Jr a lot as well, but with Hendricks and Collins we could probably pass on him.

Maybe Jayden Nowell? Had a disappointing year where forgot how to shoot but maybe he can bounce back.

It would kind of be hilarious get get Beasley back lol.

Does Oubre want to get on a roster where he isn't a starter though?

No but you are betting on his options being limited… I think the Hornets likely try and keep him for something cheap.

I like Nowell but watched the Wolves last year and I was like… nah I’m good.
 
Just looked at a list… guys I’d have interest in with all or part of the room exception…

Paul Reed, Ayo Dosunmu, Thybulle, Banton, Winslow…

Ayo may be the guy I’m most interested in with the full room exception. Might be pretty good outside of that cluster F in Chicago. They might match but have a lot of mid salary tied to guards.
 
Realistically, there's no reason to believe that Banton is any better than THT but I wouldn't mind giving him a flyer. He is the goofiest player in the league lol.

You probably could get him on a multiyear/non guaranteed contract. I would probably prioritize the guys we can could get on these types of deals even if they aren’t the best names on the list.

I just it hard to take on a very young project who is clearly worse than your current young projects. Ayo is interesting, but he isn't clearly more talent d than George, Sexton, or THT and he doesn't have a complimentary skillset to our roster.

Ehhhh he’s a perimeter defender that can be the game manager type. One of Sexton, THT, gonna be gone and Dunn is a one year dude who has never had the best injury luck. It’s a value play and he’s big enough to play some 2/3… give him Ochais minutes lol.
 
Paul Reed would be fun as a weirdo backup center…
