This list was copied from hoopshype.com and is in order of their ranking. I don't agree with their rankings nor the position they have a few of the players but I'm leaving as is.

Anyways, who do you think we target and who do you want to target?

PG:
Steph Curry
Chris Paul
Kyle Lowry
Jrue Holiday
George Hill
Jeff Teague
Derrick Rose
Patrick Mills
Shaun Livingston
Darren Collison
Brandon Jennings
Langston Galloway
Deron Williams
Sergio Rodriguez

SG:
Dwyane Wade
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope
JJ Reddick
Tyreke Evans
Kyle Korver
Andre Roberson
Tim Hardaway Jr
Jonathon Simmons
Thabo Sefolosha
Manu Ginobili
Tony Allen

SF:
Kevin Durant
Gordon Hayward
Danilo Gallinari
Otto Potter
Andre Iguodala
Rudy Gay
PJ Tucker
Bojan Bogdanovic
Jeff Green
Robert Covington
Shabazz Muhammad

Steph Curry and Kevin Durant would be great signings for us.




I'm not sure we'll be heavily involved in actual Free Agency. We will be attempting to make trades and then minor signings.

Haha I agree. No way we sign them but I felt inclined to just leave the list as is. I may get shite on for this but I do like Shaun Livingston and I'm not sure GS has the cap to resign him after Steph and Kevin.

KCP and Porter are likely to be too expensive. Korver would be a nice get.

What about Brandon Jennings? If Holiday's our starting PG, we do need more creators on the roster. Trade for a SG and add Jennings with the MLE.

Holiday/Jennings
Fournier/Moore
Hill/Casspi/Thompson
AD/Cunnigham/Diallo
Cousins/scrub

Patty Mills would be my target if we stay above the cap and use a full MLE

The reported plan Before Cousins was trade the 2017 and 2018 picks for a SF and C. After the draft our 2018 pick becomes tradeable.

Good guess, but I'm guessing if they have the roster spots they can sign a minimum guy Gentry will actually play. Next year's version of Jones and DMo.

Have to make a guy like Evan Fournier (or someone like him) your top priority in trade.

Find a way to send out Ajinca and QPon and stretch Asik.

I like. A year ago I wouldve said Jonathon Simmons but his 3P shooting has dipped a lot this year.

Fournier's more SG/SF than pure SF though right? I figure "wing scorer/creator that's not terrible on defense" is what they'd be looking for.

It's clear you don't understand how the CBA works because one would not dictate the other

Could the decision as to whether or not to stretch Asik come down to whether we want to stay above the cap (keep MLE and TPE) or get far enough below the cap (by unloading Qpon and Ajinca for nothing and Cunningham opting out)?
