Here's a list of remaining free agents courtesy of NBA.com There is still some nice, veteran talent for playoff teams looking to add depth. Jason Terry is the only big name still out there but Drobnjak, Raja Bell, John Barry, Kenny Anderson, Jimmy Jackson, Stephen Jackson, Tyrone Hill, Gary Trent and Steve Smith are all guys who can be a tremendous help to a borderline contender. For teams like New Orleans, Philly and Orlando the addition of say Jimmy Jackson and Tyrone Hill would go a long way towards makign them legitimate contenders in the East. Kenny Anderson.... G........ New Orleans Jon Barry..........G........ Detroit Raja Bell..........G........ Dallas Travis Best........G........ Miami Predrag Drobnjak*..C........ Seattle Kendall Gill...... G........ Minnesota Dion Glover........G........ Atlanta Tyrone Hill........F........ Philadelphia Jim Jackson........F/G...... Sacramento Stephen Jackson....F/G...... San Antonio Voshon Lenard......G........ Toronto Lee Nailon........ F........ New York Scott Padgett......F........ Utah Bryon Russell......F........ Washington Steve Smith........G/F...... San Antonio Vladimir Stepania..C........ Miami Jason Terry*...... G........ Atlanta Gary Trent........ F........ Minnesota Jacque Vaughn......G........ Orlando Walt Williams......F/G...... Dallas * indicates restricted FA
Jason Terry is the biggest name in there and he is restricted and I don't know if Atlanta wants him back. Stephen Jackson could be a big sign, and maybe Byron Russell. Some decent vets in there.
Sjax said he hoped to get a team and be signed this week..but I think that might be doubtful now...as Nuggets seem to want Dion Glover more because he is not wanting as much as Sjax is..
why doesnt anyone want kenny anderson? hes a solid pg and is a good starter that can put up 10 ppg and 5apg easily
i agree and kenny is a good player...but 10 points and 5 assists is almost nothing now for a pg...kidd, marbs they dominate that...and tony parker is gettin there..they jusually have 8-12 apg..and 1+ points..there r alot of other..so kenny would serve as reserve on most teams

I'm surprised no one's signed Tyrone Hill. He probably won't be asking for much. He'd be solid off the bench.

I think people are writing off Utah a little too soon. give matt, andrei and greg a chance to take the reigns. they will at least compete for the 8th spot and could get it with SJax. Shape I wouldnt be surprised if most of your predictions are right. I think Kenny should just hang it up though. cant start for anyone and hes always been overrated and untill very recently was very overpaid
Kenny could start for the clippers, Bucks, and Bulls(if crawford plays sg, rose at sf, Chandler at PF, and Curry at Center).
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting J-MAC:</div><div class="quote_post">If Sjax goes to the jazz they will be competing for the 8th seed. Mark my Words.</div> How? Stephen Jackson is a good player, but not a player that can make that much of a difference. Without Jackson, the Jazz will be lucky to win 30 games. With him, you expect him to make the playoffs? A 12+ win difference? No way........Jackson isn't THAT good. San Antonio, Dallas, Los Angelas Lakers, Sacramento, Minnesota- we can all agree are better. Houston, Memphis, Portland, Pheonix are better as well. Thats already 9 teams. Even Seattle, is better. Thats at least 10 teams better than Utah. One could also argue that even GS and LaC are better. No way Utah makes the 8th seed; or even competes for it; with or w/o Jackson.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting J-MAC:</div><div class="quote_post">Kenny could start for the clippers, Bucks, and Bulls(if crawford plays sg, rose at sf, Chandler at PF, and Curry at Center).</div> Bulls? Nope. Hinrich would start over Anderson............guarandamntee it. And that lineup would never happen! No way Pippen doesn't start. We brought him in to start. Rose also defends opposing 2G's better than SF's. Again, Rose will stay at SG on both offense and defense. Kenny wouldn't start for the Bulls...........I can go on, if you wish, with a more detailed post..........

<div class="quote_poster">Quoting olskoolFunktitude:</div><div class="quote_post">Kenny Starting for the Bulls.... i have no doubt they broguht in pippen to start but how much do u think he has lefft in the tank?</div> Pippen keeps himself in great shape. He is still ripped. Conditioning has never been a problem. He never relied upon being an above the rim type of player, like Kemp was. His game was about methodical offense/slashing with great basketball smarts, and was a "doberman on defense."- True Bulls fans will know what I am talking about in the quotations........ I think he still has plenty left in his tank......
