    Fail.

    Badly.

    Why load up on old PG's and use up all out cap when we also need a center. One we know can play.

    Yes I have. Small sample size and im not a big fan of giving the guy 8 million per year for four years. What if its a lin type of situation and the guy starts playing like shit and we are stuck with him for four years. Phoenix didnt think that highly of him to move him and a first for aaron brooks

    Id rather grab someone like ridnour for half the cost if you can get him for cheap. If jamal opts in, trade him to minny for ridnour

    The big the team should go after hard is Erson Elyasova.

    WHO?!?! LOL . I had to look him up because I had no idea who he is.

    http://www.nba.com/playerfile/ersan_ilyasova/career_stats.html

    Actually not bad at all, but he's gonna give us similar numbers as hickson does now. Why not just keep hickson, who is more athletic and seems to work well with Aldridge already?

    Cause you can never have enough quality bigs that can rebound and set picks. Playoff basketball is all about pounding the ball inside. not ISOing guards. Elyasova also shoots over 40% from 3. Meaning he could work with either LA or Hickson.

    Well it seems Aldridge doesn't agree with many of you since he is recruiting Nash.

    Regardless, if Nash is got cheap, then why not? What if we have a secondary younger guard to develop while Nash runs point for 3 years? Is it really that bad?

    Obviously, D Will is #1, then try for Rondo (not really a fan of this move), then it should be Nash, and finally a second tier PG if all else fails.

    if we get Nash as an FA he does not cost us anything more than money then I'm down with that, I'd prefer 2 yrs with a team option for the 3rd

    If its top six and cody and andre both come out id say they do it. Saves money and they have a shot at two centers with higher celings then gortat.
