There's still some free agents out there that could seriously help us coming off the bench.

There's one guy i've been saying i want for a while now and think would be a perfect fit for us in Kevin Martin. |

If we didn't go into win now mode i would agree with you but we are now in win now mode so bringing in K.Martin on a one or two year deal would be a good addition and would bring something we really need which is 3 point shooting from our back court which right now we have one guy in our back court that can shoot the 3 ball in C.Lee and he can play both guard positions. |

What's up with Maurice N'Dour? Is he healthy again? I'd sign him to play back up PF. Or third string PF.

I would have no problem adding him, however would categorize him as a DEVELOPMENT project
We do need a solid backup Center and think Dewayne Dedmon could be a GREAT addition to fill that void, especially in an UPTEMPO system A shot blocking/mobile center that can finish/rebound, switch and recover on DEF, he can also hit FT's I really like Biyombo's game but having Dewayne Dedmon at a fraction of the cost, I would be very content
With Noah here, having a backup that is capable of starting, effective as a role player, provides a need for the roster, and is cap friendly *possibly just 2year deal at most since we cannot offer much money, I do not see him signing for a long term deal*
The biannual exception provides for a starting salary of $2.203MM in 2016/17. That’s approximately 3% greater than the starting salary in a biannual deal in 2015/16, but with the salary cap projected to rise by more than 30%, the relative value of the biannual will be much lower.
------------ So players that we can sign for the rest of the cap space we have left anywhere from 2m-3m (depending on Langston Galloway's cap hold and Willy G's contract) + and the Bi Annual Exemption ($2.203MM according to hoopsrumors.com)
Norris Cole *unlikely with our cap sap left though we can ask Noah and Lee to make 500k less each*
Troy Daniels *currently RFA* Shane Larkin
Harrison Brothers Greviez Vasquez - basically an younger/injured Calderon that was once a triple double machine with a young Anthony Davis
Gereld Green - instant OFFENSE and surprisinly hits 3pts and a great rate at times and still quite athletic
Alonzo Gee Thanasis/Summers/JP Tokoto with whoever was with our W Knicks, including the MVP lights out shooter that Rambis never really played... David Michineau/Bryce Johnson, along with other D League talents/undrafted players/ continued development talent PJ Hairson which Phil Jackson allegedly was hoping to draft in the CleAnthony Early draft
Luke Babbit
Mo Speights/Hickson/ David West David Lee/Josh Smith/Chris Anderson
Christian Wood *just for Briggs* Alan Williams was dominant last year in Summer League
Can we pull a DeAndre Jordan for Seth Curry? 2year 6m seems pretty good but with the cap hold on Langston Galloway, it makes more sense to keep him over using cap space to acquire Curry Will Barton in a cap friendly deal in a trade with Jeff Lauv or some other talents on Denver, Suns, Boston, Philly that have too much young talent with many draft picks/draft rights Gambles
Andray Blatche Josh Smith (can he play a role similar to Bizmack?)
Eric Green/Nate Walters (Briggs favorites)
Stephen Jackson - has said recently that he wants to come back Metta World Peace - "I'm coming home, coming home.... tell the world now *ELBOW TO UR FACE*"
Jermaine Oneil?? PG's I think that we cutt Wroten for a reason, we already have a target in mind, whether it is a vet min player, contract friendly player or UDFA or International maybe that was Brandon Jennings or still another PG in play, possibly the rights to a 2nd rounder or elsewhere, whether international, D League, FA, or in a trade Ronnie Price?
With constant penetration from both Rose/Jennings, we have seen how Novak can produce, if we add more skilled ball handlers/passers like Novak/Kyle O Quin with better ball/player movement/uptempo pace/philosophies
Tony Douglas Eric Green/Nate Walters (Briggs favorites)
Rudy Fernandaz? Koustas Pap
Sun's have some pieces that could be interesting, including their guards and PJ tucket at 5m on his final year I believe that IF THE WARRIOR WANT, they may have the ability to sign Westbrook or another MAX player, resign Durant, resign Curry but will have to let Iggy/Livingston go *though if it is for another player can convince them to take slightly less along with Curry/Durant as UFA's, and even have Iggy/Livingston sign for less if the team wants... or instead of an ALL STAR, a Rudy Gay type player |

There's tons of guys I'd be happy with. We have 11 guaranteed contracts now?
