Another Way to Get Free Agents (Without Using the MLE)

rox already have more contract than roster spots. I really doubt that another FA signing is in the cards of Morey.

 

I'm not sure, but it doesn't seem to me that teams go out of their way to get a TPEs. The average team makes several trades a year, and ends up with TPEs without contrived deals.

 

We do have a lot of glut spots but if management uses the 2.3M TE for a 3 year contract for Mo Evans,it would be a nice step. He is a bit short but he is good physical defender with decent to good athleticism and isn't a one dimensional player ala Head despite not being a good 3 point shooter.

Tracy doesn't defend at the 2 much and neither can Barry/Jackson/Head or SF be relied on to do anything. McGrady missed 16 games and Barry 51 last year,which would make things difficult with injuries. I know quite a lot of people will say Battier is there for mainly defense but he shouldn't be playing 40 minutes a night.

Head/Novak can be useful as part of an expiring contract but Mo Evans could be part of a trade package too if we could get a better player via trade.
I don't see Greene doing much but he can replace Novak's minutes.

It seems like a minor trade might work out soon which could potentially help in getting Mo Evans via the TE. They should explore the chance of it provided if they can stay under the LT.Landry's situation does complicate matters,but this avenue should be explored. I do feel that DM will stand pat for now baring a minor trade though like you said BimaThug.
