Only Hawes and Kamen are unrestricted. I'm hoping they bring Pryz back, draft a big, bring Hickson back and bring Freeland over. Robin Lopez may be the easiest get of this group.

I'm sure I may have missed 1 or 2 names.

Larry Miller said they are "dreaming big" and want to be "instant contenders" next season.

I think they make a push for Deron Williams and (RFA) Brook Lopez.

Of the UFA Centers none would vault Portland into where the management want to be next season.

if we got deron, caveman would be a great add

Id rather get /hickson and a big in the draft unless we trade the draft picks for rondo that is.

I'd much much much much rather resign Hickson and move LMA to center then Sign Lopez. I can't stress the fact I don't want Brook Lopez on this team enough. Big guy who doesn't hustle is bad on D and his rebounding is on Par with the great white hope over in Toronto.

First of all: ish, Brook is too similar to LaMarcu and coming off an injury. Don't want him unless it is low cost, and that ain't happening.

Second: There is no scenario in the known universe where the Blazers can sign both Deron and Brook, unless they trade LaMarcus - which is pointless.
