They include Toronto guard Voshon Lenard, San Antonio forward Stephen Jackson, Atlanta guard Dion Glover, Detroit guard Jon Barry, Miami guard Travis Best and Miami center Vladimir Stepania. I think we're just waiting to re-sign Posey before we sign any free agent like Piatkowski.
That list is over a week old, and Piatlowski has been discussed on this board quit a bit, and most posters think it wouldbe a positive signing. If you want really up to the minute FA or trade discussions, read this board instead of SI or ESPN. j
The good news is a lot of those speculations happened. Hopefully Pike will sign here for about 2.5 mil a year.
