Anybody got a list of SFs that can hit the 3 and are still available?

see topic title. The only thing that's got me hung up about being okay with swapping Anderson for Asik is the loss in 3-pt shooting. Holiday, Gordon and Evans are all solid 3-pt shooters, but I'd like to get one more guy in to try to replace some of Anderson's 3-pt shooting instead of trying to make those three cover all of it. I'm also assuming a straight Asik-for-Anderson swap. Demps is a G, but I doubt Houston is going to be desperate enough to send us more than just Asik for Anderson (and frankly they shouldn't be).

I think if we can sign another 3-pt shooting small forward we'll be good to go...

PG: Jrue Holiday, Brian Roberts, Pierre Jackson
SG: Eric Gordon, Tyreke Evans, Austin Rivers
SF: Al-Farouq Aminu, <SF>
PF: Anthony Davis, Jason Smith
C: Omer Asik, Jeff Withey

So who's still around that we could sign on the cheap?

Sounds like Demps needs to sign Wright and pull the trigger on Anderson-for-Asik then. I know people don't want to lose Anderson, but I can't help but think New Orleans is a better team if they can do both moves.

Corey Brewer is good SF imo and then acquire terrance jones from houston with asik will be a solid trade for pelicans

Pels can not pay big money to Evans and Gordon, both have to start.

Evans will get his 30+ minutes a game.

Why on earth do people keep saying this? Minutes are minutes regardless of who starts.

Who said Tyreke wasn't gonna start anyway? Who's putting this out there?

Various sources have said he'll play a Manu Ginobli type role. Have no idea if it will actually happen, but that has been the narrative.

We might be able to get Delfino for the minimum. He's not getting interest in FA so far.

Yeah.

Clearly we'll have to use the 2.6 on a C.

Because Divas like Gordon will complain and not be happy coming off the bench, even though it doesn't really matter

I think we are basically done at 3. We will have to use the rest on a 5.

I think that the lack of big signing at SF (and Aminu is only a 1-year deal) is a sign that Monty really likes Darius Miller and believes that he can develop into a quality player.

If we're talking about SFs who can hit 3s, then remember that Miller hit them at 39% last year.
