Pels should try to sign Kelly Olynk and trade for Jae Crowder... Sign Nick Young and call it a summer...

Would be a solid team and definitely a Top 5 in West...

Must really try for Crowder... He is the key!!

The Pels only have the MLE and BAE, they'd only be able to sign one of Olynyk and Young. It also has sounded like Smart is the guy Boston would prefer to dump.

I just don't think smart is good fit. Need more shooting. Also don't think Boston will let him go

We don't need to tie up more money in big men. Davis, Cousins, Diallo, Asik, and Ajinca should be able to carry the load outside of a minimum contract guy. I would rather spend all the other roster spots on the perimeter.

Olynk is trash. Though I wouldn't mind crowder.

Give me crowder, but a strong push for Bradley would be my first option, dude can flat out shoot and is a baller

Give me Crowder or Jonathon Simmons, Nick Young for shooting and we still need an above-average big until Diallo is fully ready to be the 1st big off the bench. These options are very attainable and bolster our weak spots (starting SF/bench).

We have one season to determine basketball in the NO. Gotta make the playoffs or watch Cousins and AD leave as soon as they can..

But only one year left on his contract and will get paid in free agency.

I was looking at some Boston forums and they had suggested a Crowder for Diallo and a first swap.

Would be a solid move, although I would be weary of giving up a first.

Well Young signed with Warriors, as if they needed more shooting... Imperative now that we try to get Crowder. Not the best 3 point shooter, but improving..

Starting to get worried that all of the shooters out there are signing elsewhere. Damn near should of had all of Warriors off-season signings. Casspi, Young and McGee would of been solid.

Cmon Dell, need some depth and a hopefully a starting 3 if he can swing it. They say Dell looking for the big unforseen deal, but with teams starting to get close to finalizing their rosters, I'm not seeing where we can pluck a player that a team has to move to get cap space or playing time for new signings, other than Boston, Denver.

Tony Allen may be available due to Memphis appearing to give up on their recent team of Conley, Randolph, Gasol as the core....

Not the best shooter, but an elite defender,that still can contribute. Worth a look but not giving up Diallo in any scenario.

Cunningham still available, right?

He was our best 3pt shooter last year % wise.

If we operate above the cap, which it looks like we will, we will have Bird Rights for Cunningham and can sign him to any amount.

It takes two to tango. It's hard to compete against what the Warriors have to offer in terms of winning. You can't force these guys to sign, and it seems there is an increase in players taking less money to get a shot at a ring.
