Looking Ahead: 2016 Free Agency

[SkywalkerAC]

Play above the cap. Make a consolidation trade of some kind. Sign Vesely for the MLE. Sign Nando.

Bob's your uncle.

I would see if good ol BC would be tempted by our pick or the LAC one for Covington.

Sign Vesely? Did you fall and hit your head?

[Hotshot]

Not sure what his going rate would be but I like Teletovic as our backup 4

Not me, reminds me too much of Kleiza.

He was on the All Euroleague team this year. He and Nando are supposed to be highly pursued

Seems like a disaster waiting to happen. He's an energy big with no skills and a skinny frame. He was playing for maybe the best Euro coach of all time this past year who excels putting bigs in things like roll situaitons where they just have to dunk/layup.

BC doesn't trade assets for picks, BC trades picks for assets

Not familiar with European leagues, so i'll take your word for it.

Valanciunas/Nogueira/Rookie

Carroll/Barnes/Caboclo

Why are you so stuck on Barnes?

Wouldn't mind this idea otherwise

[peanutwoozle]

Why on earth would we want him? We don't need any ring chasing vets and we don't need any more guards.

I suspect that Carroll ends up as our starting PF next season after an offseason "bulking up".

I'm just trying to pick someone who has a ring, I do think we need a veteran presence, someone who has gotten it done before, Scola was a mistake from the start because he was a career loser.

Others that come to mind include
Pau Gasol (if we can afford him)
James Jones
Mike Miller
Mareese Speights
Birdman Andersen
etc...

I think when choosing a vet, we need to consider if the guy has accomplished anything in the league or has been a career loser.

[DogeLover1234]

Ive heard a lot that Chicago might shot Jimmy Butler in the offseason, because of chemistry issues and such. What would you think about going after him? I imagine it means getting rid of Lowry in some form, either directly or an intermediary trade for assets first. Also probably takes the lotto pick. A Butler/JV core looks pretty good with great role players in Carroll, Cojo, ppat. Still would look for a great pg to add to that core, and a better coach, but there is a lot to build around there.

[Miekenstien]

Who is a better asset? Biyombo or Derozan? Recency bias aside.

I think like a legit rim defender, rebounding beast like Biyombo is a lot more wanted around the league than volume shooting SG with no 3 point shot and no defense.

derozan. not even a question

[MixxAOR]

derozan. not even a question

yeah changed my mind.

[ceez]

I think that is the floor...he probably lands at around 13 - 15 in my opinion

i'll take Baze at that over DD maxed out any day and every day
