    Ennis is decent. Would definitely be a good signing but doubt it’s possible.
    He will most certainly get a better offer elsewhere.

    And those talking numbers, the vet minimum is not an option. He would most certainly command the full $5 mil from us.

    Anyone better than average for the minimum is a win. MDA doesn't play them anyway.

    would be more than fine with Treveon Graham at vet min, not saying he's going to blow anyone away but he didn't have much of an opportunity in Charlotte with their plethora of wings, he has good size and can defend multiple positions, 3 point shooting seems serviceable as well.

    We don’t have cap space.

    Our only options to upgrade the roster comes from signing our draft picks, retaining our own guys via bird and non-bird rights, vet min contracts and the taxpayer mle (5.3m).

    I agree with using bpa in regards to using he mle. My concern though is I believe we will only use about 4m on any single player and use the rest for the 2nd rd guys.

    What’s the beat possible player to sign for 4m? Probably Luc, even tho I hope he signs using rights.

    Who would be that player if Luc stays without using mle? I’m not sure tbh

    Besides, we could pronounce his name like Enos from the Dukes of Hazzard. When he clangs a 3, the Rox PA could play a clip of Roscoe: "Ennis! You dipstick!"

    Ennis gave the Rockets fits when he was in Memphis.

    I think he'd be a solid pickup for the right price.

    I see the roster coming together:

    Harden / Paul / Ego

    Capela / Nene / (fill in the blank)

    Tucker, Anderson + 6 3&D Wings on bargain contracts...

    Ennis would be a good backup wing.

    Ryan Anderson bad contract is limiting Morey. Lowballing Capela will hurt the Team, Losing Capela is a disaster. Morey is a good liar saying we will get the best Free Agents. Well no one is coming.
