Nate Robinson Probably one of my favorite players and saw that boy dunk a tennis ball on a 12ft rim the other day. He still got it and could probably get him for the vet min
Are you the guy who called 790 last week? Did you hear them tell you he's been out of the league and is trying to make it as a cornerback in the NFL?
Whether its Llull or someone else not currently with rights held by an NBA team (or trading to acquire said rights), I feel like international options could give you your best bang for the buck at this point.
I don't really want to sign guys that are losers, used to losing cultures. I didn't mention him, but I'd really like Leandro Barbosa. He's beloved by teammates and has been fine with his reduced role as he ages. Would think he could be had for relatively cheap to be a backup guard. We are going to need to overachieve and getting guys who are used to winning and have great attitudes is an important part of that.
Never liked Barbosas game. I can't make this argument this year cuz obviously Barbosas played well and Brewer sucked, but I do think his style is like Brewer as a guard. (I know, this couldn't be farther from the truth this year)
I'd be all for signing guys like Barbosa, who has played with D'Antoni before and knows how to play a specific role on a championship team. This has been mentioned previously, but Diaw is also being shopped around by San Antonio. Adding those guys would be ideal, and both fill a need in this new Rockets rotation.

Trade Brewer, KJ and Ariza's contracts and sign DWade with all that cap to a 3 year deal. DMO/Capela/Nanu Ryno/Beasley/Harrell Harden/Dekker Wade/Gordon Bev/GPII
With all the Golden State fire power now, Morey's signings look a lot better. Van Gundy brothers, Riley, or Tom couldnt draw up a defense to stop the Warriors.

I think the defensive gameplan hasn't changed, and perhaps is going to be doubled down on. The Warriors are now an even weaker "big" team. Clearly, you can't just double everyone, and those wide open bricks Barnes was getting certainly look different with KD shooting. So there might not be a gameplan that works, but I think you still go that route. Play "BIG" and "ROUGH" and run them off their threes as much as possible. That's why Cleveland is still a good matchup for them. Cleveland won't get run off the court. They should be able to answer offensively themselves as they did this year. But certainly, its GSW to lose.
