    I'd much rather have Hickson over Freeland...

    I'd like us to get either Corey Brewer or Nate Robinson, but I don't think Corey would sign with us for 4 mil. Now if we didn't have that Joel Freeland....

    We could probably pick up Tyrus Thomas on the cheap as he just got amnestied.

    Apparently the Warriors will renounce Jarrett Jack and Carl Landry to be able to sign Iguodala!

    Apparently he's going to the Nets. Maybe this is Prokhorov's comment on his government's outrageous homophobia.

    Get Jack, trade Wes for a three, and start CJ at the two

    What about Wesley Johnson? He could probably be had pretty cheaply, considering how little he's shown so far in his career. I wouldn't mind bringing him in to be Nic's backup.

    I would not be surprised if Denver gives in on a sign and trade to get the exemption, then GS can keep all of the trade exemptions plus Landry and Jack.

    He played well late. Would be solid if we could get him.

    Are Udrih and Delfino still available? They would make sense.

    I could definitely get behind both of those. I'd think they should both get more than we would be able to reasonably offer, but they would be excellent options.

    1) A vet who can help distribute, really don't want to enter the season with no true point guards without at least a vet 3.

    My preferences: Billups, Andre Miller, or Vince Carter
    The last two are under contract but we could get them I think, giving up maybe Barton or someone and offering their teams cap relief.

    2) A vet center

    Jermaine O'neal preferrably.


    Miller (24) / Lillard (24)
    Lillard (12) / Matthews (12) / McCollum (24) - Crabbe
    Batum (32) / Matthews (16) - Claver
    Aldridge (34) / Robinson (14) - Claver
    Lopez (24) / O'neal (24) - Leonard

    I think that wouldn't be the most talented team, but would be very balanced and consistent. Give someone like Miller the respectful nod to start and get Aldridge going early/team in a flow, but only play him 20-24 a night.

    Not sure how Udrih has played in the last couple of years, but I used to like his game quite a bit. I would most definitely go after him.
