Also we have that pick coming in. If we are able to bring back Biz (midlevel), we don't need anything else in my opinion. Lets not forget we also have Carroll.

This is why you can't have him as a PF anymore, he has to play C. And if he plays C here he's totally redundant.
As for how many pieces we need, I think we need at least one more major piece like a KD or a Horford, before we can start adding high-level role players, which is what Pau would/should be with us as a backup big.

You would think that the Raps can't keep both Scola and Biz. Hopefuly they keep Biz. If 2Pat finally becomes the starter, can Jan be the first PF off the bench? He's got a mid-range game, but he's no stretch 4. He's only hit 2 Euroleague 3Pt shots all year.
Looking free agency, after Horford there's a serious drop in quality. Lots of immobile old guys and players who can't get minutes on their rosters. The draft isn't much better. Other than Rabb, Davis and maybe Bender the PF position looks populated by D League players with potential. If Jan is available, he might be a legit top 10 option.

The Wiz were trying to make him a SF, but Fenerbache has let him play the PF role and he's been able to take advantage of his athleticism ... January MVP of Euroleague -- not bad. How that translates is a big question.

Using the MLE on someone like Vessely actually sounds like a pretty reasonable move to help shore up the PF position. Unless we get someone like Ellenson with the Knuggets pick, we're probably going to use the MLE on a PF. Getting a bang for your buck guy by taking someone from Europe seems smart.

$10 million? $15 million? I wouldn't be completely shocked if he got a JV type deal, honestly. Someone's going to have a lot of money/cap space and run out of targets.twitter.com/anthonysmdoyle
