    I think it's a decent idea. The guy can still play at a high level. When we are in the playoffs, it will be a nice luxury to have such a talented vet off the bench. He has three years left on his deal at 32 years old.

    At power forward or small forward (the position Jamison used to play)? It's interesting, but the only way it works is to move Lamarcus and I'm not so sure I'd like to give up a two-way player like him when it's pretty hard to bank on Jamison being productive for many more years.

    I'd have to say pass.

    I say maybe. I do like Jamison and think even though he is a little old would be a great veteran for us. I'm not sure if he would be our starting SF or off the bench. He plays more of a PF then a SF.

    it'd take to much to get him. and he's only got outta the first round once. not exactly the vet experience we need to look for

    No way we move LMA for Jamison but I still think it might work if he could start at SF.

    Jamison would backup LaMarcus. There is no way you trade LMA for Jamison. If any trade happened I'd bet Travis would be involved. Thus, Antawn would take the role of Travis.

    PG: Blake - Sergio
    SG: Roy - Fernandez
    SF: Webster - Batum
    PF: Aldridge - Jamison
    C: Oden - Przybilla

    That's how I would see the rotation, depending on whom we'd have to give up of course.

    Well then that's never gonna happen because right now Jamison is a better player than LMA, and it would be pretty hard to justify bringing a guy off the bench when he's having another all-star season.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Jamison would be an a great weapon off the bench. He's better than Outlaw (a better passer and more consistent scorer), but not by enough that I'd want to trade away all the years Outlaw could be a bench weapon for a year or two of Jamison.

    decent player, but if we're gonna spend 50 million and blow any cap space we might have in 2009 or 2010 on a vet we should aim higher.
