    Hmm, who is available?

    Stromile Swift?
    Robert Swift?
    Desmond Mason?
    Melvin Ely?

    A big or a SF seems to be the best option.

    Whoever it is, as mentioned, it would be a nonguaranteed contract. At first, I thought of someone like Stackhouse, or along those lines, but there's really not abig reason for him to come in and practice for a month, and then get waived. I'd give Robert Swift alook, for the hell of it as another big body. Or Steven Hill.

    Rashard McCants or Wally Sczerbiak for a scoring SF.

    Eek! Please no one that is likely to get immediately injured...that would be bad juju if our injury exception player got injured.

    Find the absolute best perimeter defender in the world, that is currently not in the NBA, and sign him ASAP

    Maybe Brandon's old teammate from UW, Bobby Jones? Currently playing in Italy.

    If they get anyone who isn't a PF or a C, they failed.

    I think we need to consolidate. Why the hell do we need 9 players? We need to make a 3 for 1 trade so our "behind the bench" players are happy. (better view)
