If we do not much cap space left, we probably should have just overpaid and kept Langston on a 1year MAX deal (the max that we could pay him that Lance Thomas is making)
Though I would have no problem if we signed our impressive Summer League PG in C. Randle (his build and skill sets looks very similar to a young Brandon Jennings but without the negatives and a legit PG that looks to create/facilitate for the team with the ability to penetrate/finish/facilitate, hit 3pters, score, and defend
I would much rather have him over Ron Baker
However, there are still PG and many PG/SG, and combo guard left in FA
Instead of Baker, (he has a partial guarantee while Plumlee has a 3year guaranee with 1st year fully guaranteed at the vet min (which will cost us cap space for a 3year deal even though years 2 and 3 are not guaranteed) while we can give him a training camp invite and send him down to the D League to monitor his development
I wanted Dewayne Dedmon and Jeff Taylor and with Dedmon going to The Spurs at 2year 6m total contract I think he is a complete steal
Jeff Taylor could be a player that is very similar to Evan Turner but can shoot much better especially from the 3pt like, after the domestic violence charges against him, has not gotten interest from other teams but that was about 3years ago already
So with only a couple of spots to fill out our roster
Ian Clark - would have really liked backup GS combo guard who resigned the vet min with GS as well as James McAdoo as a PF/C that is a YOUNG Jared Jefferies that could finish but without a shot at all
Biyombo is such a player and got paid while there are players that I feel could contribute on a similar value with a fraction of the cost
The Shotblocking/running/mobile Center that a (young) Chris Anderson
Josh Smith could be a player that could fill that type of a role with more versatile skill sets (not sure if that is a good or bad thing though
David Lee is not that type of player but a player that makes good decisions/rebounds/ great cuttor/ under rated post player, can handle the ball a bit and facilitate (would fit greatly with this roster with his BB IQ, ability to finish with both hands, mid range game, SMART CUTS, and HEART
Nate Walters/Jimmer
Eric Green
Mike James
Tony Douglas/Tim Frazier (I think both players have team option with Fraizer being a RFA) both played very well last year with all the injuries on their roster)
Norris Cole
Larkin/Phil Pressy speed/quickness if we want to push the basketball
Semaj Christian
Jabari Brown
Markel Brown
Donald Sloan
Harrison Brothers
Isiah Cannon
Kevin Martin (loss our shot at mini buckets in Marcus Thortan)
Sergey Karasev
John Jenkins (currently on The Suns)
Gereld Green
Luke Babbit - a lefty shooter, that is quite arkward but is hard to defend because of it as well
really improved last year on his ability to handle the ball/penetrate off the dribble/post ups
Koustas Pap/Chase Bundinger
Damjan Rudez/Dorell Wright/Novak
Alonzo Gee (probably one of the better G/F's left that is attainable for 3 & D
Jakarr Sampson *has very long arms/length/athleticism, could be the next Aminu if he develops a shot*
Axal think both Sampson and Axal of team options but Denver could release them with their draft picks and limited roster spots or trade some players
Thomas Robinson - scoring off the bench in the mid post/deep post and would fit in with Noah/Kyle O Quin's skillsets
James Johnson (really liked him for many years but last year he looked like he was in a huge decline but for the vet min still a solid pickup)
With his combination of size/length/athleticism/vet min contract, he has the ability to defend the SF/PF's that has guard skills such as Lebron/George/Giannes/Jimmy Butler/ etc
Josh Smith/David Lee
Christian Wood - with upside of the next Whiteside and would fit in with the development/lengths of KP for continued development with HUGE upside (BRIGGS FAVORITE that went undrafted last year and thought he was a TOP 10 potential)
Willie Reed
Kris Humphries - just a solid player off the bench that looks to rebound/defend and has added a wide open 3pt shot to his arsenal
