    why hasn't Henderson signed yet? Far worse players than him have already. Is he injured perhaps? Is he going to join the Warriors on a vet min?

    JJ Hickson is just fine in health but because Malone won't put up with horrible defence he doesn't get minutes any more.
    A good target for our no defence team.
    Another good target is Trashquez.

    Crabbe
    Sullinger
    Ezeli
    Hill
    Harkless
    Chalmers
    Cole
    Boban
    Nene
    Galloway
    C.Andersen


    These are still interesting guys for us but, a couple of them are going to be overpaid, a couple are huge risks...eh...i would've like to go after Crabbe with the money we paid Gordon, smh...

    You were never going to get Crabbe for Gordon's money. Gordon's contract is very good if he stays relatively healthy.

    I like him (and he's also probably cheaper) but i'm not sure he'll develop his shot enough...Crabbe seems to be way more ready to be a starter.

    Henderson to sign with 76ers:
    <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Free agent Gerald Henderson has agreed to a two-year, $18M deal with the 76ers, league source tells <a href="https://twitter.com/TheVertical">@TheVertical</a>.</p>&mdash; Adrian Wojnarowski (@WojVerticalNBA) <a href="https://twitter.com/WojVerticalNBA/status/750349756245872640">July 5, 2016</a></blockquote>

    Crabbe's out of reach without dumping at least one of Brewer/Ariza/Beverley. Even then, I think you'd have to renounce D-Mo, unless you could move 2 of them for no salary back.

    Mario Chalmers depending on health (did he have the same injury as Kobe? Might be career killer)
    Greivis Vasquez
    Sergio Llull (obviously if interested)
    Marreese Speights
    David Lee


    Those are all guys I could get on board with signing for various roles. Let's be honest, none of them (except maybe Llull or a healthy Chalmers) move the needle that much, but they could provide depth in various ways. There no perfect, or even well rounded players left that we can afford. Doesn't mean we shouldn't try to fill out the roster though.

    So David Lee is looking at returning to the Warriors for the minimum potentially.

    David Lee is a very productive player still in small doses. He's not a good defender, but he is a good rebounder and a good offensive player. As a backup he can do damage.

    Golden State would be wise to add him for the minimum if he really wants to.

    Damn that Henderson deal is great. We should be giving contracts like that.

    Jordan Hill would be a great get. Can play PF or C, decent rebounder and defender.
