Marcus Morris Sr.

Let's cap off this list with another former Cavalier. Marcus Morris Sr. is no longer the battle-tested postseason warrior he spent a good portion of his prime as, but last year showed us that he still has a little venom left in those fangs.

Morris appeared in nine of the Cavaliers' 12 playoff games (he even started one), logging 15.3 MPG and averaging 6.1 PPG while shooting 39.1% from three. Those numbers may not seem like much, but you don't need much from the ninth/tenth player in your rotation.

Even at 35 (which is what he will be at the start of the season), Morris gives you a guy with size (6'9), who can get a bucket (57th percentile midrange shooter), space the floor (85th percentile 3-point shooter), and offer you ~ some ~ positional rim protection (46th percentile in block rate). That says nothing about all the wisdom the decade-plus-long NBA career has graced him with.

Unlike Okoro, you don't need to get into a bidding war for Morris' services. According to HoopsHype, Morris has earned 108.5 million dollars over the course of his career (124.3 when you adjust for modern inflation). He will gladly take a veteran minimum if it means playing for a team with deep playoff aspirations.
