Free agent vets?

[santeesioux]

Anyone know what vets are still out on the market that still have something left in the tank? I think Corey Maggette is still out there, and Delonte West is in China. Probably would be bad elements to bring in though. Would be interesting to think about if they made a lopsided trade at the deadline and had some open spots.

Soon to be Jason Kidd.

Would you take a chance on Stephen Jackson? Quite talented on the offensive end... Can get to the basket and hit the three-pointer consistently... Able to play the point... Very tough defensively... Very aggressive when he's into it... Pretty strong... Must improve decision-making... A hothead sometimes... Turnover prone... Has some baggage.

 

[Blazinaway]

we need a BIG, PF or C, preferably a PF/C but a backup C is the numero uno priority easily IMO

Heh. This read like a newspaper article.

Howard Eisley.

Or a blurb from a scouting report.

Yes. This.

Jason Collins is a veteran defensive 5 who's unsigned.

 

[riverman]

There was a rumor that Antonio McDyess wanted to return to the NBA and was in great shape.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

A Euro vet...

Bo McCalebb.

Did you see him on the Clippers? He has a pot belly, the guy is not in basketball shape.

Pffffft! What is he a million?

 

[riverman]

Pffffft! What is he a million?

I should have used the sarcasm font there! He's Jared Jeffries and Kurt Thomas with a jump shot. More so, he's a playoff vet who could mentor TRob, Freeland and Leonard.

Shawn Kemp has kicked the drugs and is in the best shape of his life.... we should bring him back.

After his trip with Rodman's allstars he might have had a relapse

I hear he's been training with John Lucas in Houston and has his pre-lockout hops back.

Rodman will be available when he gets done with rehab.

 

[BoomChakaLaka]

Is Billy Ray Bates available?

 

[ponderguy]

I want to give Tyrus Thomas a shot

 

[BigGameDamian]

I want to give Tyrus Thomas a shot

Why? TRob and Leonard aren't cutting it?

 

[KeepOnRollin]

Why? TRob and Leonard aren't cutting it?

Trob is for the most part. It is no secret that Leonard isn't though.

I think we could use a big but I don't see Tyrus making a dent in the rotation which is a sad state of affairs for the guy.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Jason Collins is a veteran defensive 5 who's unsigned.

Ya he has championship written all over him.

 

[ponderguy]

Why? TRob and Leonard aren't cutting it?

they're doing fine, I think Tyrus could be another guy like JJ Hickson though where he has bounced around a bit with teams that didn't really put him in the right role. I think he is a better defensive player than both T Rob and Meyers right now though and could help more than they could this season. His athleticism and defensive instincts would be a nice addition to the bench. If he came in and played well we might be able to flip him down the line for a piece that would fit better. The last couple years were really rough in Charlotte but prior to that he always had a solid PER and defensive stats

You sure he wouldn't become another "Untouchable?"

lol lord knows it happens fast enough

 

[BigGameDamian]

Why not Mickael Pietrus?

 

[santeesioux]

Tanguy Ngombo is probably available.

 

[KeepOnRollin]

Are we just going to throw out weird names? How about Sergio then? Top 5 in total points in the Euroleague right now.
