*NEW* Jonathan Isaac - Unrestricted Free Agent ($15M) - Waived by Orlando

Wing Shooter/Scorer
Khris Middleton - Unrestricted Free Agent ($33.3M)
Kevin Huerter - Unrestricted Free Agent ($17.9M)
Kelly Oubre Jr. - Unrestricted Free Agent ($8.4M)

Kenrich Williams looks gettable to me. He languished on OKC's bench for most of the season and there is no reason to think that would change if he were to re-sign with them on a team-friendly vet minimum contract (which there has been some hopeful chatter about).

We could pay him more than the minimum AND immediately guarantee a spot in the rotation, whether he starts or not.

Co-signed, he'd be a great get

You’re an anti-Minnesota Mike Extremist!

But seriously, he looked like a different guy after his mid season sabbatical and his steady hand was useful….sure his defense was not.

He for sure deserves the last spot at a vet minimum to run the second unit or garbage time or practice squad. There’s value in making sure the rookies and guys striving to make a squad have a competent PG just like the starters get.

If not him then you have no one on the team at the moment to land the plane gracefully in a blow out loss or let ball catch a breath when things go sideways

I want him back on the team, but he's not bringing the ball 94 feet against pressure in April. If he than this team isn't serious

Idk Mike Conley put up some pretty good stats this year in the playoffs as a bench player. He was not the problem with the group in the playoffs. The guy made 50% of his threes on decent volume and in the Spurs series he had just 2 turnovers and 17 assists. I'm not saying we should be relying on him for playoff minutes this coming year but there is legit evidence that he can still bring it in a limited role. His size on defense was a problem but I can live with that if he does other Conley things (including good team defense) for 10-15 minutes a game.

In terms of ball handling yes you can never have enough...and 3 point shooting. Ball ands both and then if Ayo is on the floor now you have Ball Edwards and Ayo all threats to do both of those things. It's intriguing. Ball if healthy kinda changes things in a pretty good way including PF spot.

I'd also be on board with adding him. He is another guy that plays bigger than his underwhelming measurements. he has a 6'7.25" wingspan! Lol

What I'm saying is that if you trade one of them, you're know pretty shallow their.
I agree that Mike can make some stuff happen still, but like.... Let's great real this team needs to grow up from needing Mike to lower the temperature and calm down the offense.
And if it were up to me, I want Ayo and hopefully TJ to hold as accountability measures for when Ball decides to pull up from half court or when Ant isn't paying attention on defense.
I doubt that happens but if this is gonna work then Finch needs a way to rein in LaMelo. Trading ball handlers away isn't gonna help you there.
This is why I personally think it's more important to get a proven perimeter defender (or you just keep Green), cause I'm not sure Ayo can handle that and if gives him more room to be a secondary ball handler.

Very similar to my view on this and with what his minutes could be. Ideally for me, he's rotating into the last spot in the rotation. Some games he plays, some games he doesn't, but when he does he gets 2 stretches on the floor in the 5-8 min range depending on how things are going (10-15 min in those games he plays).

This way he gets some good run in the games he plays while also getting a bunch of games off during the season to stay fresh. This would required having a 10 man rotation baring injuries and frankly I'm sick of the short regular season rotations we've seen.

I expect Mike back for the vet minimum, but taking on the Jingles bench role. He would provide depth, but would rarely see the court.

"Win It For Mike!" live on!
