    Impossible to tell right now... but my guess is they are just looking to resign Courtney Lee and (maybe) Goran Dragic to good contracts.

    Assuming Dwight Howard signs an extension somewhere else, of course.

    Jordan Hill, Johnny Flynn, Hasheem Thabeet, and Terrence Williams. I hear they will be available and have high upside.

    Aside from the obvious two, probably no one in particular.

    Morey isn't one to sign guys for the sake of signing guys (like the Pistons). Better to save the cap space for a rainy day or keep it open for a real opportunity instead of wasting it on sublevel guys (like Charlie Villanueva).

    I think the better question is Who are we NOT going to target? Every year we seem to be rumored with a lot players, so i'm not expecting anything different. But we desperately need a low post scorer, please don't say we have Scola cause as much as I love him, he's just not the answer.

    I would love for us to be able to resign those two, but I really feel like they want to go somehwere where they can be starters. It's been quite a luxury for us having these 2 players with starter talent coming off the bench for us (Though it wasn't the case last night...)

    Goran Dragic and Courtney Lee

    Omer Asik fits on our team.

    I think we will deal Luis Scola and/or Kevin Martin for high level picks in the draft to go after signing Howard in a S/T for Dalembert/Asik, picks and/
    or Scola and Martin.

    Maybe re-sign Bud to back up Lee, fill out the rest of the team with picks we have left and D-Leaguers/Vet minimum contracts

    Lowry/Dragic
    Lee/Budinger
    Morris/Parsons
    Patterson/Motiejunas
    Howard/Dalembert or Asik/Smith
