Here we go for the summer of 2016! This year I limited the list to PG, SG and SF. I included almost everyone except for really old guys and a couple of guys that were injured and barely played. I'm sure I left off someone that should be here or included someone that shouldn't, so if you notice just let me know.

I've bolded the top targets based on the numbers. I included some of our guys as a frame of reference.

Mike Conley has the highest WS/48 of any guard available and he's unrestricted and has at least some interest in coming here.

He needs to be the top target.

also, thanks for putting this together - handy guide!

thanks Nix!! this is great. It also shows you how bad the field is this year. We are best off sitting tight unless we get Conley or Derozen (where is he on the list?)

so here is what phil is thinking ....

Derozon's going to get overpaid. He has reasonably good (but not outstanding #s this year) and mediocre career #s. I think he'll give you about $10 mil in production for a $20 mil price tag.

170 is a pretty high TS and he is young. Phil would have to think that he can make him a complete star.

Right but giving a max contract out based on 1 good year out of 7 (especially a contract year) doesn't make sense. By NBA standards, 26 isn't young. Players peak around 24 to 26 statistically. A max contract would be paying him mostly in years where the average player is on a downward trajectory.

ok ... put it this way - I would rather they overpay for him than overpay for a guy like Rondo.

Also, I have this gut thing with Derozen and Phil. Not logical necessarily, I have admitted that before.

I've added Derozan to the list above. I actually thought he wasn't up until next year.

I agree that this crop is rather thin and Phil has to be careful not to feel pressure to overpay for someone that isn't really worth it. I think he'll be patient even tho the clamour will be loud. It's going to be interesting to see how this summer goes as opposed to last summer.

There are some young developing prospects that could be interesting targets. I think Phil will be very aggressive going after some of them if the big targets aren't an option.

He will probably make more then 20mil.

DeRozan will probably get a starting contract of $25M

That starts with DeRozan, a lock to decline his option and hit free agency this summer. A bunch of teams, including DeRozan's hometown Lakers, are prepared to offer him a max deal starting at $25 million per season, and the Raptors know they will have to spend big to keep him.

Phil was pretty safe last yr to. Even though Affalo wasn't a high win share player he gave him a short term contract.

I wonder if there is a team that has available guards and are willing to take on D.Williams in a swap. We can probably refill the F position easier then the guard position through FA.

Derozon's going to get overpaid. He has reasonably good (but not outstanding #s this year) and mediocre career #s. I think he'll give you about $10 mil in production for a $20 mil price tag.
170 is a pretty high TS and he is young. Phil would have to think that he can make him a complete star.

Right but giving a max contract out based on 1 good year out of 7 (especially a contract year) doesn't make sense. By NBA standards, 26 isn't young. Players peak around 24 to 26 statistically. A max contract would be paying him mostly in years where the average player is on a downward trajectory.
ok ... put it this way - I would rather they overpay for him than overpay for a guy like Rondo.
Also, I have this gut thing with Derozen and Phil. Not logical necessarily, I have admitted that before.

OK but I'd rather overpay for no one.
so whats your move? How do you hope the build? Sell melo and start from scratch/kp?

If you're going to spend big money you've got to go after someone like Derozan IMO. That type of player is highly likely to have a net positive impact on your team. That's about all you can do. There are no guarantees. You make the best decision you can and roll the dice. I think Phil most certainly would have to go HARD after the top guys this summer.

I think they've sufficiently pissed off AA enough for him to opt out. That extra money will come in handy. I expect DWill will do the same. If you're Phil and you have a solid frontcourt you then simply MUST go hard after the top SG's and PG's that you can afford.

Yes and buy good bargains. That could mean 3 mil contracts for guys who give 4 mil in production or could mean much bigger contracts.

Seems to me that this summer is about MOVING THE NEEDLE! If you have Melo, RoLo and KP you pretty much have 2 guys that are ready to go now and KP who even tho he's still wet behind the ears, he can at least keep up with vets over the next 3 years. So you have to take an aggressive approach to this FA, at least at the start. Then only if you strike out on your top FA's do you go hard for a more low level value approach that is much more future looking. Meaning you go after up and coming young vets that have shown a little something. Guys like Fournier and Crabbe etc.

I have no idea what price different FAs are going to get. You'd have to do a ton of interviewing and see who takes a good bargain. I also don't have the time I used to have to look at all the major advanced stats for every FA. I do have enough time to easily spot someone who's going to get paid double what the advanced stats say he's worth though.
Durant's the only player on that list that I think is worth a max contract. He's a health risk but it's a risk you'd have to take.
Edit: I do think David Lee at around $4 mil would be a great bargain, though. I think if you add a bunch of great bargains like that it will improve the team more than blowing all our cap space to overpay one guy will. The improvement would then make us more appealing the next summer.

If the Knicks could add Conley and Batum and some depth I would be ecstatic
