    That's stretching "still active" pretty far... But okay, I would rather not Felton or Arron Afflalo for the bad memories.

    The one player for whom this might actually be a possibility is Channing Frye.

    I would not be opposed to Frye...actually he'd be hilarious replacing Tone on the radio broadcast or as Kaman's replacement on the bench

    I'd give up Kaman's slot for Sheed. I'd bet Sheed is better than Kaman even now.

    Andre Miller or Joel Freeland. Freeland always seemed like a kind of guy you could buy a beer for and talk about the latest Premier League match.....eh, so there's a missed opportunity.

    Let me go talk to Harkless, I'll see if he feels that he's fortunate to be on an NBA team.

    Nice question Caravan!

    Obviously, for only a 2nd round pick - LMA and Batum are extreme value at that point.
    I think LMA would, with this new team, help us be extremely successful for next 4 years.

    Others? Patty Mills instead of Frazier at b/u PG.

    I'd be very open to taking back LA, Nic & Robin as each is better then the current starters. I'd particularly like Nic back at the starting 2 guard and move CJ to 6th man. Though I'm sure he'll be back to his former effective ability soon, Wes is paid too much. Patty Cakes would be a nice option off the bench

    Put Bill Walton & Snapper Jones with Mike & Mike. More fun than a barrel of monkeys. Mychal Thompson was Kevin Callabro's excellent Sonic color commentator for a couple of years. Another former sports reporter is Sarah Palin, who'd be good with Trump. If we can't get them, just use Adam Bjornson & Dwight Jaynes.

    Nic and Zach are the only two guys I'd want back on the team - starting SF and PF respectively.
    But I'm generally not in favor of bringing players back.

    Depends if you factor salary into the equation, expected minutes and expected role with the team. If I could bring Frye back in place of an expiring Kaman or Alexander I do it but if he is going to demand minutes or his current multi-year salary I don't.

    Nic is towards the top of the list. Zach is up there. Wes for sure. Lopez and LaMarcus. Thats really it for guys that I'd be comfortable starting a game. I'm basically fine with the terms all of them parted with the team; except Zach. Never should've traded him for so little.

    I'd rather have Mo Williams from a talent perspective than Tim Frazier but is he happy playing those few minutes and does he try to take CJ or Dame's shots? Same for Patty Mills, Jerryd Bayless, Aaron Afflalo, Will Barton, and the injured Jarrett Jack. Those players are all superior to a guy on our 15 man roster. Luke Babbitt is another guy that has value; he had some huge games starting for the Pelicans last year. Don't want him here as an every game role player but he would be much better than Luis Montero or Pat Baseball. Jamal Crawford again is a guy that could have value but I don't want him taking shots from Dame, CJ, Crabbe.

    Neil has done a great job of having clear roles for this team. That is one of the hardest things with NBA players is having them happy with their shots and minutes.

    Zach Randolph would be a nice veteran steadying influence on this team (I just had to say that ;) ) and would give us a nice offensive punch. Batum would also be very nice on this team.

    Dame/Crabbe/CJ/(Hendo)
    Batum/Aminu/(Harkless)
    Zach/Noah
    Ed/Plums/LaimBeibs

    That's a damn good team, IMO.
