I think he would be a good pickup along with Cunningham. Do we want a FA PG?
1. A younger player with upside. Bazz doesn't have a great fit here but I'd love to get him for that price and see what he could do. I'd probably end up going with a different younger player though. The younger players mentioned here sound fine/good but nobody really jumps out at me though either. Maybe I am actually leaning toward the vet guys. Trey Burke and Tyler Ennis are guys that I think would be good players for teams to take flyers on. One issue with signing most of these guys is it's only going to be a 1 year deal so...that could limit where you can keep them. That's one reason why signing Bazz would have value because we could have his bird rights again with a possible low cap hold going into FA next year. Let's get Bazz!!! Lol sigh
2. Best available vet wing player. I'd probably go with either Affalo or Henderson. Affalo makes more sense because he is a better 3 point shooter but I like Henderson better for some reason. I'll mention Tony Allen here too because he doesn't help as a shooter he may still actually be the most impactful wing player available.
Monster, Shabazz is an interesting choice. As infuriating as he can be at times, I've always noted his incredible points per minutes stats...last year he ranked third behind KAT and Wig. And he actually rankedsecond in points per shot...trailing only KAT. He doesn't do much else other than score and hit the offensive boards, but I'm fairly certain there isn't a more potent scoring option out there right now than Shabazz. For the right price, why not?

He also has a killer mentality!
We are also less than a year away from having a chance at the other OJ. He is a guy where the terms high and potential could be very strong descriptors!

He can't opt out but they might buy him out.
But I honestly think it could happen
It's interesting to think we could legitimately be on the other side of the buyout market.
I've thought about Wade and I struggle a bit to see where he plays here. I mean if you can sign him you figure something out but it's not clear. We could probably play him as the backup PG and you could switch a ton of stuff.
I'm thinking who else might be available this season. It's weird having guys like Wade and Melo basically in no man's land. Wes Matthews? Greg Monroe? Joe Johnson?
