Interesting Free-Agents that Could Help



Big Baby (R): I like his skill and obviously he just knows how to play, but on the flip side, why would you pay him a long-term contract when Dejuain Blair a guy with the same makeup was there and you could have paid him what ever seeing that 2nd rd picks don't get guaranteed or predetermined contracts?

Leon Powe (R): Injured last year for the playoffs might hurt his pockets, but in a lot of ways since he is bigger and has a more defined body I would like him as a garbage-man type hustle 4, more than Big Baby, but as I expressed earlier it would have to be at a 2.5 to 3 year max clip due to that injury last year.

Brandon Bass: Good energy type 4. Can stick some open jumpers. Rebounds at a decent clip and can score pretty well around the basket. Good athlete.

Antonio Mcydess: Old, but good. He can make the open J. Al could actually learn some pretty good stuff from this guy. He rebounds well for a guy his age and with his injury history. Can play both PF and C especially as a backup playing about 20 to 25 minutes or less a night. I would love it.

Marquis Daniels: Would be a upgrade over Mo Evans. Possesses good offensive skills getting to the rack and can make open shots, has the ability to defend. You would basically look to move Mo Evans if you could sign Marquis.

Hakim Warrick (R): Under the radar type of guy, but he would be a good backup 4 and a upgrade from what we have. He is long, lean, and athletic. Can score around the rim and does well on the break type situations.

Marcin Gortat (R): Quality back-up big man, if he can be gotten for less than Zaza I would do it. He actually may have more upside and ability to grow than Zaza.

Chris Wilcox: Athletic and talented, but inconsistent, he is worth a look plus the guy could feal rejuvenated by playing with a quality team like the Hawks.

Drew Gooden: Drew Gooden brings energy, scores, and has experience. He is a quality backup guy for anybody.

Channing Frye(R): There was a time when this guy looked like he a had a chance to be Lamarcus Aldridge unfortunately it was only his rookie campaign. He should come cheap and is a definite upgrade of Randolph Morris and Solo.

 

P.S. some guys were left off on intent because I want no part of them or don't think there going to leave there current teams regardless. (Rasheed, Trevor Ariza).

good list

the guys that really interest me are leon powe (because his injuries could make him cheap), Gortat (and i agree he has more upside than zaza), and maybe brandon bass.

some of those guys Ariza, big baby are going to be playoff expensive. it is amazing what 15 nationally televised games will do for a guys next contract.

oh and the blazers did not give Frye a qualifying offer. He is now unrestricted.

Looking forward to seeing

I hope we can re-sign Bibby, Flip, and Zaza if the prices are right. If I had to prioritize it would be as follows:

1. Tenure Marvin: Even if I’m hoping for sign and trade options.
2. Re-sign Bibby: Starting point guard on a playoff team kinda deserves a decent level of respect.
3. Re-sign Zaza: There are very few options for replacement. Free agents maybe 1. On the other hand, there are a couple trade options that could land a C a lot better than Zaza.
4. Re-sign Flip: I just dont see Flip getting a long-term contract from another team. I think Flip will be back. I wouldn’t mind given him 3 yrs at 2.5 to 3 mill a year.

I like..

I like Chris Wilcox. If he plays against everybody, like he does against us, he would be a nice piece. Plus he can be nasty at times. And we need some nastiness on this squad.

But if if’s were fifth’s, we would all be drunk…

isn't Mikki Moore out there???

he’s with the Celtics I think but he’s an UFA….make him an offer, and we get our 50 wins

Birdman Doesn't Seem Feasible

Birdman is a Denver guy I don’t see that happening, but I didn’t think Ariza would move. Mikki Moore, I’ll pass never seen any type of consistency in him.
