Who might be in our sites to possibly sign at the vet minimum as a ring chasing free agent to bolster the bench? 

http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/20229609/nba-free-agents-2018-2019

Realistic options: Tyreke Evans? Favors?  jj barea. Vince carter? belinelli, josh mcroberts,

Other options (not realistic and not vet min):
 Avery Bradley, Kenneth Faried, Markief Morris, hezonja, Jabari Parker, jj  reddick


obviously we will be resolving the Monroe/Baynes situation but these are then other options

Ilyasova has been looking good for the Sixers.

Played his butt off last night.

I would take Vince Carter and Arron Afflalo over Abdel Nader.

J.J. Barea over Shane Larkin

Would throw a min offer towards Jahlil Okafor

i agree Vince carter would be really nice. I also like Jeremy Lin but he has a player option he won’t be denying.

dwight howard would thrive here if that happens.  id rather keep baynes, but if we lose our own current bigs i could see dwight being an option.

dwight would be great. Unfortunately I misread it and it looks like he's a free agent in 2019

Would be interesting if we can bring both horford and Dwight in 2019

TP for Afflalo, as I was just coming to post the same thing :). Love that guy.

I'll gladly take back AB if we lose Smart.  And that would be absolutely hysterical if we managed to get the twins on the same team together.  I'd be willing to bet they would dominate for us.

Dwight is the guy. He'd be a perfect fit- wouldn't have to play a ton, but could come in as a mismatch off the bench behind Horford.

Markieff! Not a FA, but might as well get both brothers in their contract years.

Replacing Nader as a 12th-13th man? I would take Carter there.

I mean, I'd love Dwight Howard especially if he came off the bench (lol), but you really think he's signing here for an exception??  :P

Some team will give him a decent sized contract despite how much of a headcase he can be.
