    Milsap would be awesome, but he's too undersized. While he's an aggressive defender, he doesn't provide rim protection. Morey knows that high percentage shots are inside the paint so why go after Milsap that can't rise above the rest against vicious dunks, especially when our division has so many quality big men

    Josh Smith doesn't work in our system either. Yea, he could work in the run and gun style with some ferocious dunks, but that works for a part of a complete offense that we're already devastatingly efficient. He would probably come here thinking he's got an unopposed green light to jack up 3s

    Dwight, on the other hand, gives us 11' rim protection (if not more), low post dominance, and can run in a fast break. He doesn't have many post moves though, but I imagine McHale can do something about that. Remember, McHale mentored Al Jefferson and Kevin Garnett - two of the more agile big men

    Okafor would be an awesome pf if he wasn't so injury prone. His ability to rebound and block shots and rebound along with Asik would be nice, he already works with Dream in the summer so it makes sense, and it would be nice to see him play in front of a hometown crowd, he always has a good game against the Rox and in Houston when he's healthy. Health is a huge factor with him though but that would be intriguing

    Three point shooters are great - but maybe that defense thing I keep hearing about would be cool, too.
