I’m seeing a lot of talk about the Houston way or the Detroit way to rebuild. I was on the Houston style bandwagon the last two summers and still believe investing in solid vets, not Nerlens Noel and the corpse of Joe Harris is necessary for a young team.

Pretend for a minute, we traded for Monte Morris and still had a little over $20 million to spend, wouldn’t you have rather gone shopping for some of these guys instead of trading for Joe Harris??? What would this team look like with say, Grant Williams and Kelly Oubre instead of Harris? Or pick any combo.

Dillon Brooks $21M/year/4 years

Grant Williams $12.4M/Year/4 years

Taureen Prince $4.5M/1 year deal

Kelly Oubre $2.9M/1 year deal

Christian Wood $5.7M/2-year deal (player opt out year 2)

Torey Craig $5.2M/2 year deal (Player opt out year 2)

Austin Reaves (Was RFA) Avg $14M/year for 3 years

Yuta Watanabe $2.5 M/Year

Gabe Vincent $11M/year/3 years
