    Nwaba is an alright guy to have around until he decides he is the main man on offence, he can put up the worst shots

    Happy to get Nwaba back, Theis is nice, so what does our roster look like now?

    PG John Wall
    PG DJ Augustin
    SG Kevin Porter Jr.
    SG Jalen Green
    SG Josh Christopher
    SF Eric Gordon
    SF KJ Martin
    SF David Nwaba
    SF Danuel House Jr.
    PF Jae’Sean Tate
    PF Usman Garuba
    C Christian Wood
    C Alperen Sengun

    that’s 14, did Khyri Thomas get his option picked up? Or was it just a non GTD deal?

    Probably got tired of Harden yelling at him cause he couldn't teleport in front of the player that burned him on the perimeter

    I like Zach Collins signing much more, he's a skilled 4/5, if he can stay healty there's some upside there, Doug is classic Ryan Anderson kind of player that shoots and does nothing else, even 14m per season is already an overpay for me

    Thomas has a contract I believe. Brooks and Lamb have offers.

    Thomas signed a 3 year deal. Lamb and Brooks have qualifying offers, which are essentially two-way contracts for now.

    Barring a trade, we’re essentially maxed out.

    I believe Thomas has a three year NG deal.

    Some players i am realistically interested in as free agents (the Myles Turner dream will never die)

    G/F Isaac Bongo (WSH)
    G Kendrick Nunn (MIA)
    C Nathan Knight (ATL)
    C Dewayne Dedmon (MIA)
    F/C Isaiah Hartenstein (CLE)
    C/F Moritz Wagner (ORL)
    C Gorgui Dieng (SAS) Signed with ATL 1 , $4M

    I don't think we sign any of these players - maybe DIeng, but I doubt it

    Trade Targets
    F/G Buddy Hield (SAC) yeah, I said it - if OKC is too stupid to see the value, I do. Would help keep defenses honest from packing the interior.
    I think the Kings may even go for Eric Gordon + 2 of lower picks (the relationship between the Kings & Hield is THAT bad)

    So Hield for Eric Gordon + Danuel House + lower of HOU or BRK / MIA FRPs in 2022 + lower of HOU or MIL or BRK FRPs in 2023 (did they really re-sign Mo Harkless?)

    C Mo Bamba (ORL) probably have to wait to mid-season because new coach wants to try him out.

    F Justise Winslow (MEM) sign one of Htown's best

    F Jordan Nwora (MIL) since Bucks were able to re-sign Portis for P-E-A-N-U-T-S, they may be willing to let Nwora go
    House needs new surroundings and the defending champions may be just the site plus he brings a Swiss Army knife mindset to their team.

    Check out Nwora's per 36 & advanced

    Riley trying to put together a team to make a run. Depending on 3 older guys (Butler, Lowry and Tucker) to stay healthy will require some luck.

    Makes 0 sense to give FRP assets for Hield. If just EG/House, sign me up.

    That's good, about the deal not being fully guaranteed.

    I think with Lonzo going to the Bulls, New Orleans might be the only team desperate enough to trade for John Wall.
