    Rush was a monster from 3 for Golden State. He's holding workouts in Vegas to show teams he's healthy now. If he is, I'd love him on this team as a minimum guy trying to prove himself.

    Cool, I have to see him play. It's been a long time. I know offseason signing just started but Morey needs to hurry and nab these guys.

    Wow, I don't remember that but it looks pretty serious. Hopefully he's recovered from it. Stuckey is only 28, and that aggressiveness you spoke of would be the perfect spark off of the bench. Morey needs to nab this guy before the Pacers do.

    The only free agents that are available, could make sense for us, and are worth more than the vet minimum are:

    Bledsoe - Has to be SnT
    Nelson - Gives us another ball handler besides Harden. Depends how much Canaan has improved.
    Marion - Probably out if we get Papanikolaou
    Aminu - Good wing defender. May be redundant with Ariza.
    Mike Scott - Intriguing. Good fit, but we'd have to trade TJones.
    Monroe - Has to be SnT

    I'd go for Mike Scott if we can get him for cheap. Say 3 years $9 million, with the last season non-guaranteed.

    Option 1 IMO, would be try to trade for Dragic. I dont know if there are enough pieces to entice PHX to make the deal or perhaps get a 3rd team involved.

    Marion and Okafor i think would be good fits as well. Okafor can fill the void that Asik left off the bench, and Marion could potentially play that stretch 4,can bring vet leadership, can play defense, and the uptempo game.

    Dragic/Beverly
    Harden/Daniels
    Ariza
    Marion (Assuming Jones and DMo would need to be included in any deal to get Dragic)
    Howard/Okafor

    Not to shabby of an 8-man rotation, IMO.

    I think Indy is chasing Stuckey to replace Lance, FWIW.

    Ramon Sessions may be of interest. He isn't a very good 3 point shooter or defender, but has a good dribble penetration game. He's been on some not very good teams but was plenty useful for the Lakers one year.

    The team can use another experienced perimeter guy to create off the dribble after losing Parsons and Lin.

    I'm convinced.......Mike Scott is the guy we need to target. Not sure how good he is defensively but he's perfect on offense.

    Mike's a RFA, so I'm not sure how much we would have to pay to get him here.I wouldn't want to use the full MLE.

    Rush just signed with GSW.

    Rush would be an awesome get. I've touted him for several years now. Would love to have him.

    Would love Mike Scott too. But he is restricted and we aren't going to overpay. Don't see that happening.

    Would take Marion at the minimum or possibly the BAE.

    We have no need for Okafor with Dorsey signing.

    Mo Williams is still out there...I think. If we have to move one of Bev/Canaan in a trade I'd like to get him.

    So much for Rush. I thought GS might pick him up again. Too bad for us.

    Shawn Marion would be perfect at the right price

    :confused: Mo Williams should not warrant a trade of Beverly.

    I dont know why there is so much dislike for MoWill out there, I have followed him from cleveland with lebron and after lebron left he did his best to keep everything together but that city fell apart.

    I think he is a good playmaker, can knock down some 3's, and its not like when he came on for portland i was happy he got the ball, he took it to us as well.

    Forgot Mo Williams. I'd sign him for cheap as well if he's interested in coming. He's apparently looking for a bigger role on a team than he had in Portland.

    For a team in need of consistent 3pt shooters Morey isnt looking for any. Parsons led the team last season and he is gone

    Yeah stupid Morey. Can't believe he isn't looking into any.

    Added Ariza, bid on Mike Miller, allegedly looking at Ray Allen
