VC & Bosh on the other hand would be a solid upgrade & 2 very usefull players (sentimentality aside).
Numero ocho will lead us to victory!

Saw the reports by Lewenberg. Not really surprised to be honest. Masai never seemed like the guy that would be patiently waiting by his phone hoping for a guy to call him.
I don't think Afflalo is the right guy though. I guess he's a shooter.. but who's he displacing out of the line up? If they are going to get just anybody, then they really need is a vet's vet. A guy that's been in the playoffs and can help motivate the stars on this team. Right now Lowry is the oldest guy in the locker room, and he gets stage freight some times. I doubt a guy like Lowry would look up to AA who's only a year older, and has no real playoff success except for his rookie year in Detroit where they made it to the ECF.

All of the above is why I'd go for Tony Allen over Arron Afflalo.
Allen is gritty, leads by example, and has loads of playoff experience. Yes he doesn't shoot but he could be a calming presence.
This is barring a better option becoming available, but I don't see many options left at this point.

Yeah Allen is a good option if you're nursing a lead or guys have foul trouble. He can be insurance for OG and Powell. He can still bring the D in short spurts
I don't think we should prioritize an arms race with Houston, gs and Cleveland anyways. Probably the only way to beat them is grit n grind9 time first team all-RR, First Ballot Hall of Forum

One possibility I could see is Tyson Chandler. He's a veteran who fits the culture, ample playoff experience and of course familiarity with Casey. I could see management thinking that a rebounding-defending big is a priority. As great as Siakam and Poeltl have been, they are still raw and unproven when it comes to playoff basketball. Although another PF or someone with a jumpshot makes a little more sense than a pure C, Chandler could play next to either of our young bigs.
That said, if Chandler did get bought out, either Boston or Cleveland would be able to offer him more minutes or a bigger role. Hell, I could see either of those teams going for him just to have a decent defender to put out against JV.
