    I think World Peace/Artest could be an answer to our PF issue if we aren't able to get proper value for Asik.

    What do you all think about bringing Metta/Ron back?

    Why do you bring back a problem? Let it go.

    Well i mean I guess, if we get to the finals he could guard the Mike Millers and Shane Battiers of the world.

    He should do it. You know how much that would piss off Kobe? Anything that pisses off Kobe is worth it.

    I'd love to have him back. He was hitting 2-3 threes a game last season. And while he may not have the height and length we would ideally want from a 4, he is plenty strong to play the position.

    I don't understand why anybody would pass on him at the vet minimum. You guys act like he abandoned Houston or something. The Rockets didn't offer him a contract. The Lakers did.

    This is the first time I've brought up MWP in a thread, I was just curious about everyone's thoughts. I still think he has some game left in the tank and his toughness would help on this young team.

    if he signs for the minimum it would be good for the depth. But Jones would and should start over him

    And Battier. Let's get Landry and Scola too. Hell, maybe Aaron Brooks can be the waterboy.

    yes, we need depth, he could play the 3 and 4.
    hes still a good defender, rebounder, and can hit the 3.
    only if he takes the vet min tho.
