Rumors of 3 possible players to fill that 15th roster spot with the departure of Yabu:

Shaun Livingston
Kyle Korver
Tyson Chandler

Personally, I don't know if we really need or could use any of these players. The only one I can see as a little need for would be Korver. We don't have any knock down SG's on the current roster. Brown is not a knock down 3-pt. shooter but has improved on that tremendously. Smart has also improved in this area but he still isn't a SG we can rely on as a 3-pt. shooter/specialist. Korver fits that mold if that's what we're looking for.

Livingston would be a player that could play multiple positions but he would strictly be a role player. He's got some age on him now & last season with the Warriors he showed some significant decline. He does have great length & plays solid defense though. Maybe we get him because of his playoff experience he's had with the Warriors but other than that I don't see a need for him.

Tyson Chandler just like Livingston has some age & really is strictly a space eater & decent rim protector now & not a great rim protector like he used to be. Chandler just like Livingston could provide veteran leadership & help out with all the young big men that we have on the team. He probably wouldn't see more than 6-10 minutes per game unless in situations where we need defense in the paint on a big man like Embiid. Chandler can still play defense but nowhere near the level he had for years.

I thought myself of a few FA's to choose from that we might should consider bringing in for that 15th roster spot (in no particular order):

Justin Anderson (SG)(UFA- was with Hawks)
Jerryd Bayless (SG)(UFA)( was with T'Wolves)
Vince Carter (SG-SF)(UFA- was with Hawks)
Jimmer Fredette (SG)(UFA- was with Suns)
Justin Holiday (SG-PG)(UFA- was with Grizzlies)
John Jenkins (SG)(UFA- was with Knicks)
Jalen Lecque (PG-SG combo)(UFA- playing on Suns Summer League team)
Shelvin Mack (SG)(UFA- was with Hornets)
David Nwaba (SG)(UFA- was with Cavs)
Davon Reed (SG)(UFA- was with Pacers)
Iman Shumpert (SG-SF)(UFA- was with Rockets)
Nik Stauskas (SG)(UFA- was with Cavs)
Isaiah Whitehead (SG)(UFA- was with Pistons)
