Current free agents is bleak. Does Markelle Fultz get anyone exited? Cedin Osman is currently in the Greek League, does he fit?
I am not sure Lonzo gets bought out. He has been in some trade rumors. Tough to see a fit for trade with his salary though. He hasn't been playing back to back or over 28 minutes a game. The knee still needs to be a huge concern. His dad is a loud mouth, but Lonzo has always played an exremely pleasing style of basketball to me. I love watching how he played. I hope he can get and stay healthy. I haven't watched a live game of his (just highlights) but if we was released he would be really high on my wish list...injury concerns and all.
Simmons...not sure. I guess he would be worth a test drive. I just can't believe he is playing on a tanking team and still has not shot any three pointers. He also takes less than 1 free throw a game. Until he is not afraid of either, I am not sure he is a serious player. The lack of spacing would also be a major issue. He is not as pleasurable experience as watching Lonzo to me, but I do like a pass first, really good passer.
I think Fultz has a knee injury. That was one of the reasons mentioned why he had not signed at the beginning of the season.
