Someone just a little better than DFS but not quite as good as Bridges. Who is that player, and could the Mavs afford him and keep key current players? Is Cam Johnson attainable SnT for Bertan’s increasingly less horrible contract and a 1st)? That might be perfect. Can Otto Porter get over his injuries. Derrick Jones jr would be cheap (seems like he has untapped potential). Don’t see many realistic, affordable options on the free agency list outside that, so may have to be a trade (but don’t give up Hardy).
If we exclude the Raptors players i would say Jerami Grant and Kyle Kuzma are the players we can target. Tobias Harris could also be on option.
Then i think i heard somewhere that Nets would like to take Simmons contract out of their books, so if we are willing to give him a chance u think he is very getable.
But it's NBA, you never know what is going to happen to the summer. If someone told us we will get Kyrie for the price we paid only a year ago, nobody would believe that.
