    I don't think we would have the $ and the room for him.

    Dawson got veteran power forward Juwan Howard in the McGrady trade and on Monday ended a two-month search for a point guard by signing Charlie Ward and Bob Sura.

    Dawson had inquired about a long list of others, including Brent Barry, Troy Hudson and Derek Fisher. He spoke to the Seattle Supersonics about a deal for Antonio Daniels.

    In every case, the price was either too high or the decisions too slow.

    we have enough guards now:

    ward-tmac
    lue-sura
    gains-pike

    next up is finding a center, maybe even dumping a guard.

    Sure, it's possible. It's even possible that McGrady could force a trade to Houston.

    What is the current need for Daniels? Unless the Rox trade Lue and JJax giving Sura a mostly utility role at the 2-3, some 1, then why?

    I would love to trade Lue for Daniels. Clearly the Sonics want to rid themselves of him. They were flirting with Mike James, Damon Jones, Derek Fisher. You dont do that unless you are hell bent to get rid of Daniels. If the Sonics liked those guys maybe they would like Lue?

    I'm kind of liking the combo of Sura and Lue at the 1. I don't think there's any need for Daniels.

    I thought we were talking about Antonio Davis... I was wondering if maybe we could pull something off where we could send them MoT and get AD back.

    MoT + Pike for AD? Numbers should be close, we wouldn't need Mutombo anymore.

    AD woulod be good backing up both Howard and Yao. He could play a very good 30 minutes on our team, I'm sure, and he hasa decent jumper as well as good rebounding, shotblocking and defense, he's old, but only 2 more yearso n his contract.

    But then again, I'd probably rather do the Pike/Wilks/Griff for Mutombo deal.
