    Some people have a better way of seeing the Free Agents in a more "visual" format. Is there any names on here that would help.

    First, the club needs to determine who is going to do what. Troy is the big-one. I'm torn because I don't want a player to be here if they are not happy (be it playing time, money, whatever) and if he's not going to be happy, he should go. Some names that have showed their value to me is:

    Jeff McGinnis (Pg/SG)
    Marcus Camby (You Know)
    Mike James (Defensively)
    Luke Walton (Future)
    Stromile Swift (REALLY GOOD)
    Lucious Harris (Role Player)
    Bruce Bowen (Defensively)
    Manu Ginobli (Great 6th Man)
    Corie Blount (I've heard good things on this site about him)
    Lee Nailon (Effective Scorer)

    Yeah swift looks like the best on there. With Ginobli a close 2nd other than Camby no one that would really come in an turn around a team or put someone over the hump.

    Ginobli would have a large affect on the team, but i don't know if that's a possibility. I think he's being resigned, and if not there would be a large market for him. I think Camby woud be a good addition,as would Swift and Bowen.

    Troy will stay because KG wants him here & Troy's said that he wants to stay here. Enough said.

    As for the FA's you've listed, forget Stro because we can't even make a bid on him. Because he's a restricted FA who was chosen high in the draft, the smallest an offer sheet can be is over $6 million, or about $1 million more than the MLE.

    As for McGinnis, he's ordinary at best so no thanks. I don't know much about Mike James so I'll pass on him for the time being. I doubt that Camby will sign with us for $5 milliona yr. when Kiki is willing to sign him to a $10 million a yr. contract. Luke Walton is a never will be waiting to happen, Cory Blount & Lee Nailon already are never will be's. Bowen is old, expensive & a dirty player. Denver is said to be ready to offer Manu & Mehmet Okur $9 million a year contracts so he's off-limits. Lucious Harris is a nice player, decent shooter & has big game experience. I'd be cool with him.

    McGinnis is certainly not ordinary, he was the man who helped the Cavs gain form last year. Without him they were 1-9 down the stretch after being play-off contenders. A good PG, he got Boozer, Z and or course LeBron, the ball at the right time. A key player for them, although because of Sam Cassell unlikely to sign for us, certainly not ordinary though.
