this team needs some more talent, preferrably in the frontcourt. There are a few good options out there:1. Al Harrington (He has interest in us. The first quality FA in a decade that has interest in us).2. Drew Gooden (Solid double-double guy with pretty good offense and rebounding).3. Kenyon Martin (Spark plug. Brings alot of energy on both ends and is a superb defender).4. Chris Wilcox (back-up plan. He's aextremely athletic and a perfect fit, but we'd likely only have him for a year).All 3 are fairly available, i think we should make astrong push for one of the above. As for Al Harrington, i think we may have the best to offer Atlanta, or better than Indiana atleast. I would (probably) be willing to give up Big Al for him, but i would be hesitant.
I got a better idea... why not just trade Paul Pierce to Philadelphia for Chris Webber! :HAHAHA:Anyways, seriously though, I agree. I think the C's need a veteran/experienced big man to help out PP until Perkins and/or Al develop (C's will probably part with one of them in any trade).
Al Harrington is pretty much gone to the Pacers from what I hear. Drew Gooden is a decent player but he's asking too much. And why and the hell would you want Kenyon Martin and his contract when you have Al Jefferson?
I dunno dogma, Kenyon Martin? BCB brings up a good point, his contract is horendus, and he is definately a questionable basketball player. Kenyon seems to be a negative guy, if things aren't going the way he likes it he seems to wanna vacate the situation. I don't think we need a guy like Kenyon Martin when our point guard spot isn't set in stone yet. With all that being said, I do agree that we need someone else. Drew Gooden just inked a $23 MIL deal with Cleveland. Harrington is probably going to stay with Indiana, I think Kenyon is unrealistic, who else is there left?

I've heard some people would like Melvin Ely, but i would want more of an impact player. We could still possibly get Chris Wilcox.maybe.... Zach Randolph? He's still very low value on the market, i wouldn't mind sweeping him up, attitude and all. He's still a very talented player. The only thing is, he ruins our chances of being a good fastbreak team. We need someone who can run.
