I definitely see them targeting Marc Gasol, but beyond that I am at a loss. I find it hard Kevin Love won't be traded so he is off the list. I also don't really see Aldridge coming here. That leaves who exactly? What if Gasol goes to another team? We're supposed to at least get a second star to pair with Melo, but I don't know how optimistic I am. Anyone have some insight? We dont have to go with max players we can just sign productive 2 way starters that fit the triangle. Why not 2 11 million dollar players. Lets build a balanced roster. Just dont overpay and we will be fine Check out My NFL Draft Prospect Videos at Youtube User Pages Jmpasq,JPdraftjedi,Jmpasqdraftjedi. www.Draftbreakdown.com

My guess, assuming Love and Aldridge are off the market, are M Gasol, Jefferson, and Millsap in that order of preference.

Big Al more than likely gets extension if Charlotte is competitive What would Milsap get paid and what positions do he, Melo, and Cleanthony play? I think Zach Randolph took a paycut so Marc Gasol would be resigned. Grizzlies also have a ton of cap space |

Who exactly are we trying to get in 2015? Players who will help the team win and become more appealing to future FAs. It's too optimistic to think this .400 team is going to be appealing to FAs in a year. If someone wants to come here, great, but I don't expect it. |

I think this, and lets not spend just to spend like we kinda did with Amar'e in 2010. Flexibility and assets. And I think with Melo we have our superstar*. From there, I think we need to add extremely productive & efficient role players. Guys that can do one or two things very well. |

I know you have your head in the clouds like me, so who do you think might be made available going forward? I'm racking my brain trying to cracked that code.

No one good has ever come to a Dolan-run team unless we substantially overpaid. If Phil wants to change that, it's going to take more than one season and the addition of Jose Calderon. |

The question I then have, why would lesser talented free agents want to do so, not in case Love once again as noted above is an exception and not the rule
The only swing for fence future game changer is Durant

Anyone have some insight? enyspree-lets let next year play-out--see who might get better who might be available in trade see our own players performance wehave a 1st round pick--- i have no idea about 2015 other than we need to be patient this year opportunistic and lets see if we can win as is.
