    If Jeff Green can be a natural 3, id love to give him a look. But he is like a Thaddeus Young tweener. Whats with all these tweeners now.

    A lot PG/SG tweeners and SF/PF tweeners are coming through.

    Humphries is legit, people need to think realistically.

    WE can get Humphries and Hawes if we pursued them.

    I rather take Humphries over Scola imo.


    Also we should get Lou also as a 2 Guard. To play behind Lee.

    I dont know what that is. I just moved here in the last two weeks.

    If you are talking sports radio, I listen to 97.5 a lot.

    I second this. I thought Rudy Gay was a free agent?

    The list doesnt suck - but I dont want any of them... they'll all be overpaid. Also falling in the 'don't wanna pay em what their gonna get paid' is Asik. If I'm gonna invest in 'potential' than I'd rather do it through the draft on a rookie scale contract. Personally, I'm not wild about all this big money people wanna through at Hibbert... yeh I supose he might be worth the gamble... but the downside is another Stromile Swift contract... Rashard Lewis... Joe Johnson....

    LOL barring trades we don't have enough capspace to sign other FAs.

    Dragic is better than any other non Max FA out there, would rather just resign him then target Spencer Hawes or whoever.

    "A league source said that [Louis Williams and Spencer Hawes] are wanted by teams throughout the league and that both would probably garner salaries averaging about $7 million a year."

    So youre saying, a guy who is 4 years in the league, and averages 14 points and 11 rebounds per 36 minutes is not worth 7 million a year?

    Travis Outlaw $7,000,000
    Samuel Dalembert $7,000,000
    Tyrus Thomas $7,305,785
    Charlie Villanueva $7,540,000
    Brendan Haywood $7,624,500
    Anderson Varejao $7,700,000

    Yeah good call. Especially considering he is 24 years old, he would be a terrible pick up.

    Now nobody wants to refute my statement when they see what other crap players make 7 million.

    Rockets, one of the worst teams at defending against PnR
    Asik, one of the best at defending against PnR

    There's a reason why the Sixers are still looking for a starting C and it's not because Hawes is possibly leaving.

    "The Williams situation is just one of many that are facing the team. Starting center Spencer Hawes is an unrestricted free agent and, as the league source said, “There are a lot of teams interested in him. Who wouldn’t be? He’s a big man who can do a lot of things and is only 24 years-old.” Several sources have said Hawes could garner anywhere from $5 to $7 million a season."
