    Whiteside or Dedmon would be a good investment. Then I’d sit pat and see what happens.

    How much is Whiteside looking to get?

    good question. Probably not the minimum on a team he won’t start for, which is what we would be offering. Then again, who is offering more?

    Btw @D-rock Morey just got Ryan Broekoff sign on the Sixers. So he is off the list too

    Jordan Bell was waived @Clutch might still want him here.

    Yeah saw that in another thread.

    Morey is always 5 steps ahead of Stone. Worrisome.

    Whiteside, dedmon, illyasova are the best available but we went with Tate and boogie to fill the front court positions.

    our last spot probably will go to a PG. Reggie Jackson gives us a playmaker but shaq Harrison gives us an elite on ball defender and I think we need that more.

    We need a 3rd PG unless you want Clemons or EG creating for everyone. Another big too.

    Not a vet, but Jordan McLaughlin has my eye.

    Houston now needs to sign 3 vet minimum targets in order to form 15 players to meet the NBA requirement. Some existing players may have chances to left. Hope it will not tweak the team so much. Those players which MDA doesn't use better not to stay. It has already verify their abilities.

    You only have to fill 14 spots, and can even go as low as 13 if you play games with 10 day contracts.

    Westbrook / Clemons
    Harden / Gordon / McLemore / Brown
    House / Nwaba / Tate
    Tucker / KJ Martin
    Wood / Cousins

    I’m assuming here that KJ Martin is signed to an NBA Contract and not a 2 way, but I think that’s a safe assumption.

    As things are right now, we only need to add 1 player to hit the minimum require, however I assume Clemons will be waived if there’s 2 worth getting.

    my opinion is that it should be a center. Cousins is a lotto ticket...nothing more.

    Jackson, Dedmon and call it a day. Waive Clemons, move Wood to PF. Martin should be on a 2 way contract.

    I think we need a lengthy defender just in case tucker gets in foul trouble plus losing roco who was 6’9 hurts the wing spot.
