    What do you guys think about signing a guy like Calvin Booth or Jerome Williams. They're both decent big men and just got waived.

    I wouldn't mind Junk Yard Dog, he plays with a lot of intensity and can be a spark off the bench.

    Yeah, i agree with you guys james would be a nice fit. We have missed that kind of player that plays with heart and has no regards for his body a la Ben Wallace. I was hoping we could have gotten Reggie Evans but i doubt that happens. I hope we can improve on C, because that is our biggest weakness.

    I like both of these players and we should be able to sign either of them with our remaining MLE. Since we are short on cash, we need to look at these role players and try to sign them to cheap deals before other teams with limited money go after them as well.

    Calvin Booth isn't a big name guy but he could make an impact off the bench for us. Since he isn't getting much interest this offseason, he wouldn't cost us a lot of money and we would get the backup big man we need.

    Jerome Williams is a good player who is already making tons of money from his deal with Chicago. Just because they waived him doesn't mean he isn't getting paid. His contract goes toward luxery taxes but Williams is still getting the greens. Because of this, he probably won't be asking for money from his new team so signing him is a very realistic possibility.

    Well I heard JYD retired so a good Pf is off the market. Iam still going for my man CLatt, hes a nice shooter to have since Pat isnt shooting so well. Swish I think you mean Knicks that JYD will get money from.
    If no one else Booth is a player no one really looks at so maybe not so many offers will come his way we could snag him.(I said snag)
