Considering we have 16 guys on the roster and you’re only allowed 15, I would say nobody.

Another Vet would be nice in the 25-32 year old range... doesn't have to contribute a ton, but a presence to be a nice role player and give some of the youth rest and knowledge.


Don't want to stunt the growth of any of the young guys, or push them too quick... think another "growing" year with this group added with Zion to actually help him grow with the group... could make for a scary 2023-2024 season

Nobody.

I'd keep an eye out for any good deals where we can maybe send out 2 players for 1 to open up a roster spot for Liddell. Outside of that either talk Liddell into a 2 way or create a roster spot by cutting Temple and giving him a job on the staff.

We need to see if we have what we think we have and then see what our holes are.

Still think an add of that nature would fit best.

I would let every GM know that we are willing to get involved with teams if they need a 3rd team to get salaries to match and then sit back and chill.

Free agency starts at 5 tomorrow. So probably sleeping by midnight.

A team that wants to trade for Devonte Graham in exchange for an expiring.

Not perfect, but i'll take it.
Hayes/DG/Temple to Pacers
Heild to Pelicans
Sign Liddell
Leaves us with an open roster spot and $1.6M under the tax, enough to convert a two-way guy if warranted.

CJ/Jose/Kira
BI/Buddy/Dyson
Herb/Trey/Naji
Zion/Liddell
JV/Nance/Billy

Bingo.

At this point, we have too many guys and so much money guaranteed that we are extremely close to the tax.

Until we find out what we have, I don’t see a point in bringing in anyone else. And we potentially need to ship out Jax and/or Temple for a roster spot.

Besides our own guys, the only other guy I'm considering calling is Malik Monk with an offer for the full MLE, because I don't want the Lakers do get him back.

Does Indy have the roster spots to do this? You also are adding significant salary to the Pels in 23-24 when we have more issues staying under the tax.

I like the idea of signing Patty Mills. And to package Graham, Temple, and Kira for some type of future picks and cash considerations.
CJ/Patty/Jose
Herb/Murphy/Dyson
BI/Marshall
Zion/Jaxon/EJ
Jonas/Nance/Billy
Still can add another 3 and D guy.
