    Not a pretty list, but I'd take Magloire because he has been a full time starter for quite a few seasons and can give you 10 and 10 on any night. Cato is good defensively when he is actually able to play physically and Mikki Moore is an energy guy. Whatever is good for ya'll I guess; someone to compliment Al and not take away touches.

    There's a list I compiled of servicable big's that could be had by using part of the MLE.

    Thoughts?</div>
    Araujo - What's the point?
    Cato - Meh, what's the point?
    Ely - We have Big Baby and Powe
    Jackson - Ehh
    Magloire - Stiff, too greedy
    Mihm - soft
    Moore - Not what we need
    Tsakalidis - Waste of time

    Like I said in your other free agent thread, I think this free agent class is a perfect opportunity for us to bring in the veteran point guard we need, but we're gonna have get our big via trade. We need size, and a real big body that will play defense and rebound. If we can't get a guy like Marcus Camby, which I doubt will happen, I would like Brendan Haywood or Joel Przybilla. Someone like that, we could probably get them at a reasonable price and they fill a huge hole in our rotation.

    Magloire and Moore are both maybe'sif we can't get a big man through a trade using Theo's contract then perhaps for the MLE.

    Magloire of Moore off of that list, but I'm not to keen on having any of those guys. I say stick to finding a PG *cough*brevin knight*cough*

    We do need a point guard, but our #1 need is to get bigger. We need a big body down low that rebounds and plays defense. If we can't cash in on a guy like Camby, I'd say go after Przybilla or Haywood. They'd be perfect and they could be had pretty cheap.

    ^^That's 100% true, we do need a big, but I was talking free agency wise. I'm not a fan of any of those free agent bigs listed.We'd be better off, like you said, trying to trade for a big and sign a PG with the MLE, rather than vice versa.
