    We need a shooter at the 3 or 4 spot, not just another PF in the same mold as what we already have. IMO Jones/DMo are good enough.

    Don't get me wrong Randolph is a top 4 PF, but I cant see him sustaining his physical style of game for another 3 to 5 years.We need someone who can grow with the current core of Harden,Howard,Parsons and Lin for the next half a decade.

    With the mergence of Jones, I don't see the need of a 4 as a glaring issue anymore. I see us needing a wing defender who can score from the 3pt line and play big minutes off the bench.

    That is the point though, we would have him for the next year and a half, then we would have max room for a third star. Who said anything about 3-5 years:confused:

    Not likely. Pretty sure they want to build around him.

    I'll take Millsap, at least he can battle like a beast when Jones is off the court. D-Mo has not cracked the rotation and Garcia / Parsons on Aldridge, yikes..

    Maybe if Waiters is thrown in...at least Varejao is an expiring.

    Not against Varejao at all, Cavs would have to throw something else in the mix as well, like a pick. I just don't see how he's a prefect fit next to Howard. I'd think Andy would end primarily being the back up C to Dwight.

    Varejao is a very underrated player. I know Morey targeted him in the Yao/Tmac days as an ideal roleplayer.

    Great defense player. Plays pesky to get under his counterpart's skin. Plays like Bev, but the only problem is he is fairly injury prone.

    He can play PF and backup Center.

    If we can get Varejao + something, that is a win.
