    He plays like one. He did well in the D-League, but he isn't ready for the big show.

    He would but Morey doesn't seem to
    show much interest in him. If he doesn't want him, go after James Johnson. Stop wasting time with Amir
    Johnson, and MCW. He has already allegedly given up part of the MLE to sign Zhou Qi to a 4 yr contract, and he has lost Nene too. If things aren't fixed quickly, then I'm afraid Chris Paul will change addresses next season, or even demand to be traded by the February deadline of the upcoming season.

    James Johnson or CJ Miles would be excellent plan B options to George.

    I admit I haven't seen much of Miles,
    but I do like James Johnson.

    With how young these kids are coming out of college and entering the draft, I consider most rookies for their first 2 to 3 seasons until they prove they can contribute.

    Re-signing Nene gives us a solid 7 man rotation but as we've seen...

    We need 2 additional pieces (good ones) to really compete. A CJ Miles or Redick and a forward make things much easier for the team. I just don't know if we have the ammo or money to make a fair offer.

    Great pipe dream but I seriously doubt Ibaka even remotely considers signing for MLE at this stage of his career. I'd rather have him over Millsap though. I think it's possible to get both Korver and Collison (or at least one of them). Collison did well backing up CP3 early in his career in LA and Korver is a shooter who can pretty much fit anywhere. Wish Anderson could shoot more confidently, we needed him to make the shots he was making in the regular season but he definitely lost whatever mojo he had going into the play offs.

    I haven't heard anything from the Spurs and LMA. I wonder if the Spurs would be willing to swap LMA for Anderson ? ;)

    Johnson can play 3 thru 5 depending on match ups so he's more versatile, plus he handles ball even better than Ariza. But Miles is the traditional 3-D wing.

    Well he played like one because he WAS one. I thought he looked good especially in d league, but I thought he looked ok in his limited minutes with the team as well.

    Ok. You just listed him with the other guys who've not spent one second on a pro team. He's been with the Rockets for a year training, getting better and he even got a few minutes in actual NBA games.

    Can't be counted on? Sure. But he's not a rookie.

    Bobby Brown was a RFA to be, and they declined to extend a QO same with Troy Williams, well according to NBA.com anyway.

    I like the idea of loading up on younger 7 footers who can shoot. Sign D-mo and we have:

    Qi - 7-2"
    Hartenstein -- 7-1"
    Motiejunas -- 7-0"

    Not sure if posted but Redick agreed to a 1yr $23M deal with Philly.
