A good spot for Al Thornton here, a team built on versatility, he can see time at both the SF and PF (same role that Matt Barnes had for them).

Backup PG could also be a possibility (Pruitt?) if they want to keep Ellis more at SG.

On a side note, Adonal Foyle might be the most overpaid player in the NBA.

Since the GSW have three picks, I suppose that they could make an investment in Splitter here, too.

Jackson will wear out his welcome soon. J Rich is always on the block. I think they go Thornton as well. he'll replace the tough rebounding that Murphy provided before beind traded. I think Pruitt is too much of a reach here and they like Ellis at PG some anyway.

Al Thornton doesn't drop any further than this.
