We still need a defensive minded 4/5 don´t you think?

I wonder if any combination of Los/KT/Drew and the 4.5 mil exception could land us Jerome Williams from Detroit.

And if the Rockets still have any interst in Brad Miller, or that was just the backup plan if we had failed to land Mo?

The way i see it we are just one player from locking up our core for many years to come.

These guys could play backup C and PF duties for both Mo and Cato (when Hakeem retires) and wold take care of the rebounding end, which seems to be a concern for most of us.

The rebuilding would be complete if we landed Rashard after he finishes his run with the Sonics.

A team with:

C Cato, (J. Williams or B. Miller)
PF Mo, KT or Los (J. Williams or B. Miller)
SF Lewis, Langhi
SG Shandon, Mobley
PG Francis, Norris

would be championship bound for sure in a couple of years, IMHO.

Hopefully there´s a way to pull this off and STILL have money to sign both Mo and Shandon to their respective deals in the future.

houdmedman 25:

I fear for the health of our team.

Hakeem´s status is a big question mark, and with Cato being somewhat injury prone, who would be playing the 5?

Obviously it would only be intersting if we could sign any of those two guys without having to put Mo and Shandon´s jackpots in jeopardy. That could be accomplished through a sign and trade that would send any combination of KT, Drew and Los. Can it be pulled off? Hardly. I was just toying with the idea.

Otherwise, if it can´t be done, it can´t.

Rider on LA? Rice is about to walk out on his own, i guess, and Kobe is gonna play SF this season. Can Rider co-exist with Shaq and Kobe? Hell no. Jackson will regret this move.
