    Good job. Is there any 3 point shooter out there who can be added right now?

    So Tate, Holiday, Okogie, Unca Jeff are likely as good as gone.

    Household names

    G.Trent Jr
    Cam Thomas
    G.Vincent
    B.Beal
    J.Clarkson
    K.Middleton
    M.Thybulle
    A.Holiday

    Old stiff farts

    D.McDermott
    K.Olynyk
    N.Batum
    K.Love
    Seth Curry

    Younger guys who haven't made a name for themselves

    Jett Howard
    Keaton Wallace
    Lindy Waters
    J.Pickett
    O.Agbaji
    Antonio Reeves
    A.Coffey
    N.Smith

    Probably more guys who belong in this last list, but I just genuinely don't know who they are.

    And then there might be random vet mins around the league teams are looking to dump (for example, I'd give the Bucks a call for Prince.

    At least 2 of them unless we go into the tax to sign a 15th man, in that case could bring back 3 of them. We also have JD Davison on a completely NG contract that I didn't factor into that equation.

    Clarkson and Thomas can shoot the basketball.
    Good suggestions.

    What's the deal with Curry? Lifetime .433 from 3. Didn't play much for the Warriors last year, but the season before with Charlotte he shot .456 from 3 on 182 attempts -- no small sample size. His career 3-pt percentage is literally the 2nd best of any active player behind Kennard, and 7th best in NBA history. So according to shots he's actually taken and made, he's a dead-eye sharpshooter in a league that is desperately searching for them. Can he possibly be THAT bad on defense? Can anyone be bad enough to nullify shooting like that?

    Exactly. If Reed gets mid 30s money he has exploded and the team is likely doing really well and not worried about paying extra tax money.

    I don't think KD is getting a big contract after his current one. He'll be 40 in thst next season. His best bet would be if he had zero drop off this season and turns down his player option to play at a lower salary and get maybe 1 more year out of it.
