    Is definitely not going to be either Nicolas Batum or Lebron James. But who will it be?

    Tobias Harris?
    Allen Crabbe?
    Gerald Henderson?
    Jared Dudley?
    Daniel Diez???

    One of these four imo unless we make a trade:
    DeMarre Carroll
    Jae Crowder
    Luol Deng
    Al-Farouq Aminu

    I could've got excited about Deng about 4 years ago. Then I found out he had too much African in him.

    Where is all the excitement about Aminu coming from? He's like a poor man's RHJ, right?

    6 foot 7 actually and he can just like Wes can (I know Wes isn't that tall) but he doesn't and it isn't his best position.

    All for naught anyways...

    He is best served as backup SF but if we were going cheap (so we could go expensive in other areas) then he is a good get.

    But he literally can't do anything else, right? Which is why he averaged under 19 mpg for the Mavs last season.

    If we were going cheap we would've stuck with RHJ, who has the potential to be a lot more.

    I don't think there's really that much difference between SF and SG in most systems. Positionless basketball is in, baby!

    Potential to be more in year 3. If LMA really did tell us his intentions (and they were bye - bye) then yes RHJ makes sense. If LMA comes back then RHJ makes sense in year 3 over Aminu but not year 1.

    He isn't a good offensive player, no. Still, defensive specialist are nice to have, especially for the playoffs.

    We need either a REALLY good SG or SF - someone who can score with the ball in their hands, and create at least a bit for others. Spend the most money on one of the wing positions, the second most money on the other wing, and then round it out with a hard-hat PF/C. Wings win Championships. Ultimately I hope we build a team that's competitive to draw a dominant wing NEXT summer (LBJ/Durant) - this summer's free agents don't excite me at all. And while I think that LBJ/Durant are pipe dreams, you gotta at least make a play - another miss with a trainwreck CLE team and LBJ could very well bolt, and same goes for Durant.
