So the big question is whether we'll actually see any of these guys beyond this summer.

I'm curious how many of them will be there on Monday.

We are probably looking for a small forward, since right now we have Marvin and Mo playing that position and no one behind them.

We're probably looking for a 6th guard as well, and 1 or 2 big men depending on whether we sign one in free agency or not.

I'm sure they will sign whoever shows the most "hustle" that they don't have to pay more than the minimum.
