    Probably. You can add White in that equation. Adding a big body for an insurance is the way to go. Hoping one of those bigs pan out.

    Not sure how we would have enough money to sign both, White, Cook and Barry all need to be packaged.

    Les always stated he would in order to put the team over the top
    I don't see any urgency this season

    Scola/Landry/Pops/Hayes

    If we signed him someone would most likely be out..I'm thinking Landry.

    I doubt pops matches the intensity of a Landry right now.

    McGrady. Too far over LT for him not get moved if the Rockets plan to get back under.

    Pops DOES play with tremendous intensity, and probably more consistently intense than Landry. Landry started getting lost some of the time last year. And Pops is a superior defender. Pops is a very good post defender. I'm wondering if we aren't packaging Hayes and somebody else in a trade if we sign Pops. He's not as good a post position defender as Hayes is, but who is? However he is a very good defender and shot blocker and he runs the floor great and he can finish a lot better than Hayes. I've always liked Pops. And signing him would represent a trade to be made with one of our bigs imo.

    He may know something that we do not yet know. A trade in the works?

    They need to get rid of Chuck or Dorsey, if Pops is coming. They don't need 3 undersized centers.

    Keep Chuck. He is the only one upfront who really knows how to play defense.

    we dont need to get rid of them if they are only making about 1 million a year.....they are going to be productive no doubt...

    problem is roster spots...I'd get rid of barry and cook for another big expiring like rafer alston...lol
