What I'd like to see, if I was GM:

Acquire Wilson Chandler via trade (expiring and draft pick)

Sign Toney Douglas, shooting combo-guard who plays good perimeter defense.

Maybe another big, Amir Johnson. Amir rebounds, blocks shots, finishes around the goal and he makes free throws.

Fill out the roster with Miller, Roberts and Thomas.

Vasquez/Douglas/Rivers/Roberts
Gordon/Rivers/Douglas
Chandler/Anderson/Miller/Thomas
Davis/Anderson/Johnson/Smith
Lopez/Davis/Smith/Johnson

i like douglas...we definitely need some guard depth

I like him too, but i don't know how the minutes would work out next season with Anderson, Davis, Lopez, and Johnson.

Lopez and Johson are probably looking to get more minutes...they couldn't do that here with 4/5 solid bigs. Smith wouldn't even get in the game...This is based on Davis and Anderson playing near starter minutes, which i think should be the case next season. I think the teams stays where it is with the 4 bigs we have.

We would be a playoff team with this roster but with the money we have to spend, why not shoot higher? We could definitely use a Toney Douglas type and an upgrade at SF. I was holding out hope for CP but Gravy has proven, to me at least, that he can handle the point. I'd like them to sign Al Jefferson and bolster the front court into one of the better ones in the league. Corndeaux, I know we've had this discussion but I'm leaving it here. I just don't think Robin is a starting C on a deep playoff team. We could live with AFA starting with the scoring we'd have with the starting 5. He could strictly be a rebounding/defensive/garbage points player and thrive.

Gravy/Douglas/Rivers
EG/Douglas/Rivers
AFA/trade or FA
AD/Ryan/Smith
Al/Lopez/Smith
