I think Kyle Singler should be on this list. He has good size and shooting and would be a great addition to the wing. He seems to have fallen out of favor with the Pistons and has gotten less playing time this year under SVG, than he has in the past.

ETA: I don't think he's the answer to a starting SF, but as cheap bench depth

Second I saw Brewer on the trade block, I thought of how perfect a fit he would be for us. Gotta be a way to get in on these talks.

I like Singler. How is he regarded defensively?

Gerald Green.

UFA after this year, don't think PHX has the cash to sign him.

All of these guys are worth a shot. But, they don't need any offense- if Evans keeps starting, they need a guy to play next to Anderson that can fill in his gaps.

Kirilenko would be a nice addition. Mbah a Moute too. Dudley offers the most on paper, but weird that the Clippers benched him and then dumped him for nothing.

I don't know what lead to the benching, but they dumped him for nothing because he was benched and they didn't want to pay that much for someone that isn't being used. Is his skill set really that different that Reddick's? It seemed odd at the time that they made a trade for both. The problem could have been redundancy and Redick was better.

I would have thought he would offer more on defense. Weird also because the Clips are thin on the wing. They turned to Hedo and Granger instead. I mean they paid a first just to dump him.

not to mention he (and redick) cost them Bledsoe. Add in the pick it cost to dump Dudley and that trade doesn't looks so great

Weems, Evans, and Anderson seem like the most plausible players on the list. Middleton is highly regarded around the league, and I think the Russian owner would like to keep Kirilenko in Brooklyn.

Weems has a really nice contact in Russia, and I don't think he'll be as likely to break it and leave as Luke Babbit.

After reading on Piston's forums it seems like he isn't very good defensively, which is why I felt like he would be more of a role player off of the bench, than a starter.

As someone else mentioned I wouldn't mind Gerald Green either, but I think his best role is as a sixth man coming off of the bench.

I think my favorite wing player available this off season is Danny Green, but a few things would have to occur for him to work for the Pels salary-wise

Definitely not down with losing Rivers at this point. Especially for a defensive SF that can't shoot 3's.

Middleton or Brewer would be nice; Copeland is a terrible chucker, do not want. Dudley has looked awful this year.
AK47 is a bag of back spasms

I'd say Singler is basically average in terms of defense.

He has a great contract, but will be a free agent at the end of the year, I believe. I doubt he will be traded.

Cleveland may offer Waiters. We couldn't match that offer, even though Waiters' value is depreciating by the day.

Not sure which assets Houston would be willing to part with. Besides draft picks, I don't think they have enough ammo to get him. They aren't trading any of the starting five, and I can't imagine Minny being too enticed by a Motiejunas for Brewer trade.

Think Brewer is just out of our range. Rivers looks decent this year, but I can't see Flip giving the OK for an AR25/Brewer swap.

Like Galactic said, we could possibly facilitate in one of those trades.

The scenario of putting Ryno with AR to get rid of EG has been covered to death on here. Never going to happen because we won't get anything back close to Ryno's production or AR's potential.
This proposed trade is worse than most I've seen in the past.

Any trade involving Ryno to get rid of EG at this point is 100% stupid.

Maybe a couple years ago, but at this point we should ride it out.
