Top 5ish realistic guys these summer I'd be targeting in no particular order:
Top 5 guys I just would like as a center
- Richaun Holmes
- Mitchell Robinson
- Jusuf Nurkic
- Myles Turner
- Sneaky choices that also make the cut are Jakob Poeltl and Clint Capela but I have no clue if they are even available.
- I guess I'd throw in Wendell Carter Jr. as a wildcard too.
- Ayton
- Adebayo
- Jokic
- KAT
- Gobert
I think the only realistic name on the list is Richaun Holmes, maybe an outside shot at Jusuf Nurkic.
Of course if they put Brunson on the table, then all bets are off.
My targets
Draft
Goga (if we trade with the Pacers for THJ, he´d be my #1 target, cheap rookie contract, legit big center with rebounding and shot blocking coming into his own to complement Powell/Kleber)
Holmes (low value due to fallout)
Bamba (forget the draft position and see him for what he is: a gettable young cheap center option with upside)
Hartenstein (same as Bamba)
Cheap veterans
Biyombo
Robin Lopez
Drummond
Dieng
Thompson
Realistically you don´t even need to spend much to make one of cheap happen.
Wildcard: Dario Saric. For all of his career he seems to be a big moment player and I doubt he is in the long-term plans of the Suns anymore after the ACL injury.
