Looking at last season and filtering for bench players that were good volume 3 point shooters I came up with a pretty short list.

Player | 3PA per 36 | 3P%
Troy Daniels | 5.3 | 38.9%
Terrence Ross | 5 | 36.3%
Jordan Crawford | 5 | 38.9%
Jordan Farmar | 4.5 | 44.4%

You can probably get Troy Daniels for cheap but he's never seemed like anything more than an end of rotation player. Could you get Terrence Ross for Ajinca, QPon and 2nds? They really should have stretched Asik to sign Swaggy.

Isn't Afflalo still out there? Seems like we could get for pretty cheap if we're able to create some more space by stretching or dumping Asik.

AA and Ross would be solid

To extend Dante or sign a wing/big. Or to add shooter they must shed /stretch salary.

Type Afflalo and Morrow might have some sense

Troy Daniels may be an end of bench player but he's the best 3-point shooter out of all of them. I don't know why his percentage was only 38% with Memphis, but he's a lights out 3-point shooter with a quick release.

Agreed Aminu is a must lol

















FWIW I'd love Afflalo but I think he'd be too expensive

Aren't we close to being hardcapped? How can we sign anyone?

We can't without a trade or Asik stretch. Daniels and Ross would have to be gotten via trade. Depending on how much we paid Rondo we might not even be able to afford Cunningham.

I want Arron Afflalo too, but I don't think we'll afford him either.

they are all interchangeable at this point
pick the guy most willing to shoot when he's open and I'll be happy

Ross is an intriguing option. Not sure what Orlando's price would be. Definitely wouldn't want to burn a 1st rounder on him.

I think you could, and he would be a decent fit at the 2/3.

I wonder if Luc Richard Mbah a Moute is going to get more than the minimum. He would be a good fit at the 3/4 off of the bench.

I agree. Orlando would probably be willing to do something considering 9/15 of their players play SG/SF. They only have 3 true bigs. (A Gordon, B Biyombo and N Vucevic)

He is a shooter in the same vein Dante Cunningham is a shooter. They are catch and shoot, knock down open 3 in the corner kinda guys. LMaM attempted 110 3P last year. They are terrible offensive options

I wouldn't mind re-signing Dante, but wouldn't lose sleep over him walking either.

As far as shooters to target, is there a stretch 4 out there that is attainable via trade or FA that would be an upgrade to Dante? The 3rd big is an important role, and I'm not sure for Chieck is ready for that role yet. Ilyasova just signed with Atl for 1 year/ $6 mil, seems like that would have been a good option if we only had the rook to make that happen.
