Free agent vets?

[PapaG]

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

I'm hearing Shawn Kemp has been working out and has lost 134 lbs over the last 6 months.

Allen. Iverson.

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.

FUCK no.

Rip Hamilton? could be a great locker room influence and a guy with championship experience.

His twitter name is a perfect fit for Rip City! https://twitter.com/ripcityhamilton

Funny thing, People are open to Rip Hamilton but not Tayshaun Prince.

we'd have to trade for prince. Rip is a FA. If we could get Prince for nothing I'd be more open to him as well.

I'm sure Memphis wouldn't be asking for very much in return and if Paul doesn't mind spending when the Blazers are winning I'm sure Prince would be better than Wright for the Blazers.

No, his twitter name is a perfect RIPOFF of Rip City.

Prince is making $7.2m this year and will make $7.7m next year.

Hamilton could be signed for the vet minimum. You do realize that there are salary concerns when you bring over a guy with almost $8m left for next year, right?

I don't want Hamilton, either. McCollum looks like he can create offense for himself when needed for 10 minutes or so a game. Finding a decent back-up for LMA should be where the vet comes from, because neither Leonard or Robinson are ready for that role right now.
