Gentry: Priorities include P&R defense, stopping dribble penetration, adding “6-7 athletic guy” who can be a facilitator.

This is the most interesting thing to me. MM has brought up Grant Hill before and that sounds like what Gentry is looking for. Can Evan Turner be that kind of player? He was a PG in college. He still can't shoot but he is that size and can facilitate. If you have Evan Turner that means you shouldn't have Tyreke though right? It probably also makes Hield/Murray more desirable fits from the draft.

These sort of statements always make me wonder if something is already in the works. These players and teams and agents talk all the time. When something so specific is said, it certainly makes you think and wonder.

Evan Turner and Jared Dudley to some extent would certainly make a lot of sense as secondary FA options.

I doubt anything is in the works, but corndeaux has brought up Turner before so you have to hope the team has thought of everything we can come up with. Them being secondary FAs means you probably can have a high degree of confidence targeting them if that's your plan. Kind of like what Portland did last year. They didn't waste their time chasing guys that weren't coming, they just added youngish guys they felt were undervalued and could play/grow with Lilard/McCollum.
