    Free agency starts on June 30th. Who are we targeting? By all accounts we're probably going for a backup center with either the full MLE or the BAE. Some targets:

    https://www.spotrac.com/nba/free-agents/center/

    I like Mo Bamba for the full MLE. Isaiah Hartenstein would be fine as well. Nic Claxton? Everyone else is a huge MEH.

    Some wings:

    Kyle Anderson
    Otto Porter Jr.
    Taurean Prince?
    Jalen Smith?

    Didn't realize we're already at 13 roster spots assuming we re-sign Ant/Nurk and including Sharpe. 12 without Bledsoe. Assume Bledsoe goes out and Ingles comes in. Still just 2 spots left in FA...

    No. He's out of 2-way contracts.

    Just resign Eubanks as our backup c.

    Marvin Bagley? Will Detroit match full MLE?

    I like Kyle Anderson

    Hoping that we get Thybulle for Bledsoe and focus on two bigs.

    Dame/Ant/Keon
    Ant/Hart/Sharpe
    Nas/Thybulle/Sharpe
    Grant/Walker/Watford
    Nurk/(Smith)/Brown III

    You’d have to find a better backup PF too.

    Why would Philly do that? I mean seriously, how does that benefit them? Honest question because I don’t know

    I think we should add Winslow somewhere in that depth chart.

    I think Joe Ingles will be signed and added in there also.

    Ingels doesn't need to be here, same for Didi and Brown. That gets 5 spots potentially available. Blazers have plenty of room.

    Assume we'd at least need to give them second round pick. Probably absorb thybulle in smaller TPE instead of EBEC so they save cap space.

    I like Hartenstein a little more, but I'm on the same page with you about either Bamba or him. The Blazers need another good true big to play presumably with Nurk.

    Jalen Smith definitely would be a nice fit, as well.
