    Outside of the collection of non-guaranteed contracts we have, this is now our only option to bring in an above minimum player. My guess is we end up saving it for buyouts after the trade deadline in February, but assuming we use it now, who could be among our targets?

    Darren Collison
    Brandon Jennings
    Willie Reed

    Are we about to sign a big name?

    Jennings was terrible last year with the Wiz.

    We are a bit light in the front court. We need a big body who can do it all - one who can bang, post up, box out, positional defense, 3 pt shooting, errthing

    I think Collison and Reed get MLE money. Afflalo would be my choice.

    Roy Hibbert. Is his game outdated?

    Hibbert has nothing to offer us. He's not quick, can't execute PnRs, can't rebound.....

    But he is a big body and any contender can use a big body to plug the paint from time to time.

    If we need 6 fouls there are cheaper alternatives

    Those smaller amount contracts usually don't get signed until the bigger pieces in free agency shake out. It sounds like money is getting tight for many teams. So there can be some decent bargains to be had.



    One guy comes to mind:

    Pau Gasol should just sign with us for the BAE.

    Will be interesting. They need a legit point guard on the bench so that could be a targeted position for the BAE.

    They may also just hold it for buyouts
