Wings to (realistically) land this offseason
Posted on 3/1/17 at 8:19 pm

I don't see a whole lot of hope out there for us adding real wing depth this offseason, but here's a list of guys I think will be a) semi-available, b) the right age for this core, c) can play off two elite bigs, and d) might (keyword might) want to play in NOLA.
SG: Kentavious Caldwell Pope - RFA (going to be tough to match him though)
SG: JJ Redick - UFA (if the Clips don't run it back)
SG: Tim Hardaway Jr. - RFA (in line for a decent payday)
SF: Gordon Hayward - PO (we're going to find out how real Utah is about GH)
SF: Danilo - PO (Denver's been shopping him but may need a change of scenery)
SF: Otto Porter - RFA (leaving only over John Wall's dead body)
SF: PJ Tucker - UFA (unless he's ring chasing lol)
SF: Robert Covington - TO (who knows what Philly's really doing)
SF: Shabazz - RFA (more bad apples to spoil the bunch!)
Also a few D-League guys I'd imagine will get an NBA look, no idea who owns the rights... Vander Blue, Manny Harris, James Webb III, and Marcus Georges-Hunt.
Can't see Tony Allen, Iguodala, Korver, or Ginobili leaving great roles and legacies behind unless they get canned. Don't want Rudy Gay (Cousins hates him), Jeff Green (age), Thabo (age) or Roberson (Solomon Hill 2.0).
In other words...we're screwed!

You can't put realistic and then put KCP, Porter, and Hayward on there. Might as well put KD

I'd be happy if we signed Covington, and wouldn't be upset with 40% from 3 this year shabazz.

Are you only looking at free agents? It seems more likely that the wing player would come from a trade. Someone like Fournier or Avery Bradley would be nice.

Would have said the same things about KD (obviously not leaving paradise this year), Nic Batum, and Chandler Parsons last year...but KCP, Otto Porter and Hayward are UNREALISTIC. My bad all-wise Crewz

No idea what assets we've got left to trade that anyone would want now though...

They can trade the 2018 first round pick after the 2017 draft.
Another wing player to consider is Dion Waiters...

I'm not exactly sure he counts as a wing or a big but is it a given that Cunningham opts out? And if he does is it a given that he doesn't come back somehow? We have his Bird Rights and he is loved by the coaching staff. I kind of think he returns.

Guy I like with the biannual or room exception is Jodie Meeks. Not gonna light the world on fire but I'd love him a shot a 4th guard who defenses have to respect
If we stay above the cap, Mills with the MLE and Meeks with the biannual would make me very happy. Trade QPon, Ajinca, and a first for Wilson Chandler and use the TPE to get a center
Jrue/Mills/Frazier
Moore/Meeks
Hill/Chandler
AD/DC/Diallo
Cousins/Dedmon

I will never get the fuss over KCP...

Defense and "potential"
One day he will be 20 and the latter will be gone and he will be making the minimum

I'd rather get a better SG than SF I like hill

Little terified with Meeks injury history.
Played 27 games in last two seasons.
And you know how healthier everybody becomes in NO....
Also Mills would ask for more, especially in this market.
Now he earns 3,6
expect he will get 8 figures in $$$$
But I'd love him.
Maybe we will try once again with Morrow. At the minimum :)

Meeks wouldn't be my guy because he is fantastic and without flaws. He would be the guy because he might be the best I can get for such a small salary
I think it's 50/50 Mills gets more than the MLE. I don't think the league views him as a starter and he doesn't have "upside" so teams like Brooklyn, Philly, etc won't give him Crabbe or Tyler Johnson like offers. We shall see

You would start Hill over Chandler? Hmm
