    I'd love to have Chuck back, but he's making something like $6mil a year and I don't think Morey would go for that.

    Omeka Okafor would be solid man. He looks like a beast all he has to do is listen to Dwight on Defensive Assignments and D-Up and rebound

    my bet would be DMo....of course that might be the plan but McHale might put in Canaan at the back up 5 for all we know. He's gone from using Scola as a backup 5 to Harden, Canaan is the next likely guy.

    Gentile may be a good ball handler but he is a forward. No way he can defend NBA guards with his limited lateral ability.

    Holy crap, Chuck was that slim at one time!? I always thought of seeing him with that extra weight on him.

    Amare was down to 22 min per game last year...you think he would accept a back-up C role on the cheap?

    He yet to win a championship, so I'd say yes. Not sure if he's what we need tho

    depends how things shake out this offseason, but a big rotation of Dwight, Love and Amare seems to complement each other pretty well. Noone off the street is going to replicate the defensive impact Asik had last year.

    Man, if only we kept that Turk Furkan Aldemir. Thank you mental midget Royce White and clueless head coach Kevin McHale for pushing Morey to pick the deranged White.

    I would imagine so . . .cause I doubt anyone will give him a big contract
    so might as well soak up as much as he can on this one

    I would be very interested in him if we make all our moves this offseason. Very capable backup and if we are done with cap room for 2014 and 2015, his contract doesn't hurt us any.

    If there is an Ilyasova trade, I would love to grow it to include him. If we were to strike out on all the top guys, I would be pretty happy with an utimate result that ends up with us signing Lowry for about $10M per and trading Lin, Terrance Jones and our 2015 1st rounder for Ilyasova and Pachulia. Then resigning Parsons.

    Absolutely. Silly to even have him on that list.
