    now that the main cores of the team are signed, who would be the next targets of the Rox? My take: an off the bench reliable scorer is needed, a backup PG that can start if needed, an upgrade at PF if available and a 3rd Center who can shoot free throws and rebound

    Free throws

    All you need to do is have Howard and Capela shoot free throws with confidence and the same way each time. If they miss then so what. It's when they look frustrated that the other team knows they DON'T want to be up there.

    Capela might get better by the way... he has a nice shot and could easily see with more playing time him getting close to 70% by next season

    We have Scola on standby for the vet min. Or maybe Smoove would agree to take the vet min due to the fact that he's rolling in cash.

    Smith

    Smith could sign for minimum due to still getting the remainder of his contract through Detroit

    Stuckey is sounding real good:

    Bev/Stuckey/
    Harden/Terry/McDaniels

    Does anyone else think it's weird that Morey signed Brewer and Beverly without letting the market set their price?

    Yes i do but lets remember we seem to have finally found a formula to contend so for the first time retaining role players is key so maybe his line of thinking changes

    Very good point. Other moves could be following, but more than likely the longer they waited to sign Brewer and Beverly, the higher the price tag would get. Especially from the desperate teams.

    Don't see many guys that I'd want to spend the full MLE on. Maybe Mirza Teletovic.

    Maybe split up the MLE like this:

    $2.5 per to KJ
    $3 per to Sergio Rodriquez

    Not sure what to do with Papa/Prig. Just wait and see I guess.

    How do you know that the market did not set the price?

    True. And they probably aren't part of any equation to add a player via trade. It does seem to put an end to the LMA speculation and allow us to move forwRd.

    In a way yes, but the market was already talking with other deals. I think Morey did well to get both of those guys on slightly below market.

    Would love to get another PG without using the MLE, so we can use that to get Smith and Harrell signed.

    I think our PG comes via Kpap+Jones+pick. Bev as our starting PG at any price is a failure in my opinion.
