How about signing Iman Shumpert this summer?

He is a great defender, young, athletic and would be a cheaper alternative to Jimmy Butler who a lot of people here want.

He is quietly having a good season averaging 12/4/3 while shooting 48% from the field and 53% from 3.

He will also be a RFA but I don't think NY would match as that would prevent them from offering the max to a C like Gasol or Jordan.

There was a rumor last season that we were interested in him so I could see us making a run at him again this summer.


Yuck no. I prefer to sign afflallo or wes matthews before Suckspert

I think you mean you prefer to sign no one because youre busy giving offers to restricted free agents and watching their teams match?
Yuck no. I prefer to sign afflallo or wes matthews before Suckspert

Reggie Jackson would be obtainable. Not the other 2

they said the same thing about parsons and look where he is playing now.

Bledsoe was attainable too. just bad that no team would give him an offer because of his injuries.

unless u try it, u won't know.

OKC and Chicago are not going to match high offers for Reggie or Butler. Reggie is not as good as Harden and they didn't want to pay him. On top of that, Reggie plays the same position as Westbrook.

Logic would say that Chicago SHOULD pay Butler what he is worth, but they are a relatively frugal organization.

Kawai, well, we have absolutely no chance of getting him.

If we throw money at rfas we might miss out on........no one. Because ufas suck this summer. I'm all for making these small markets play the money game. After all, that's our biggest advantage.

If by getting Anthony Davis, you mean 2022 or something. Sure.

Sporting News reports Dragic is willing to test free agency, isn't pleased with having 3 PGs who all want the ball.

He's 28, going to be 29 next season. Is he worth a near max? Maybe. I've always liked him, but he's at that age where you have to worry about a slippage in play from a PG.

wat is his max? for the PG, u need a guy with solid handles, not so much speed etc, since he is the supporting cast for whoever big free agent appears once kobe retires.

He attacks the rim a lot. Will that get better as he ages? Probably not. (He can also shoot but he really puts pressure going to the cup).

But he's unresticted and they have sort of a logjam at PG.

yes and no when you consider Thomas is perfect backup PG because he likes to dominate the ball and that works with second team and Bledsoe really prefers playing off the ball and since Dragic is taller he can guard SG and Bledsoe PG's also dont think Dragic would let his brother sign just to leave him there in Phoenix

Dragic is not worth the max, especially with the style he likes to play. The year before the Suns only won 25 games, the addition of Bledsoe moved him to SG and he didn't have to worry about guarding the best PG's on a consistent basis. He plays in a PG friendly system and they run a lot, I'm not sure his strengths is the best fit with Byrons system.

He's a good player, more of a SG then a PG. Only avg 3 apg, and he's not a good defender. He's an upgrade over Lin, but for the max money he's going to want I would pass on him. Would rather have Rondo or Reggie Jackson.

My #1 PG target is RJax. But I think the team will go after Rondo first. Sigh.
