    FWIW Doug Smith says the Raps have a MLE-level free agent target they are about to sign.

    It is tough to get a centre with the MLE so I'm not sure who it might be.

    The Raps are reportedly interested in Timberwolves small forward Ryan Gomes as well.

    ^ Brewer and Weems are really similar players. I wouldn't really understand signing Brewer.

    Weems has shown us something last year but I wouldn't put all the eggs into the basket.. We need more depth in the G/F department anyways.

    Is Gomes a good shooter? He shoots 37% from 3. We need some shooting from the wings considering that Derozan and Weems will be the focal points at those spots.

    ^ Well we wouldn't be picking him up for his shooting, if that's who we are signing.

    If we do want a shooter, why not Red Rocket?

    I didn't mind him when he was with Denver. The guy can get to the rack. Pretty sturdy combo forward though a bit of an underwhelming signing. Obviously our Euro experiment is NOT OVER.
