    Wow that's bad, had no idea. I just thought he was under utilized and I guess he really did drop off. He always played so good against us so I'm assuming that's where I thought he'd be a good pick up.

    I like Webster and reddick but I think he'll fetch midlevel money

    Problem is that if we get Dwight, then Redick might not want to come to Rockets. He wasn't very happy with some of Dwight's comments about his days back in Orlando.

    How about a more accurate, bigger, smarter, better passing and dribbling, and more unselfish one?

    Hey, Garcia wants to be back. I think he's just fine being a backup swingman.

    Maybe we should factor in defensive ability, which is a key at the wing position, just as much as 3 point shooting ability? (Dunleavy, Reddick suddenly look much different).

    More than Memphis can afford to spend.

    I've been thinking a lot about him lately, and he seems like the perfect role-playing 6th man player. How is he on defense?

    Also, what are the chances of signing a Tony Allen? Would a single lock down defender really help our teams defense, or would his talents be under used in our run-n-gun system?

    I also feel like Reddick could add a nice mid-range option on offense. He can shot off the dribble or off of a pick, and might help space out the defense.

    Martell Webster please. Shot 42% from 3, and is a really good defender. He's also a somewhat young 26 years of age.

    if we get dwight or smith, or some other all star that makes us good enough to win a playoff series or two, then i would target tony allen. mostly because it would screw over memphis by giving them a whole to fill, while helping us pass them as the best in the division.

    if we don't land an all star first, then i would resign our wing players to one year deals to save our cap for next summer. i'm sure they would resign if we offered enough, and since it would only be for one year, as long as we stay under the LT everyone wins.

    Is that bad for his position?

    You wouldn't want him for everything else he gives a team? Dude was a huge reason why are advancing in the playoffs. Spacing is good and all but it's worth sacrificing when you got a defensive stud like Allen.

    I've been saying this dudes name for months... He's so under the radar. 7 year 26 year old vet. Probably one of the best value pick ups for this team on the free agent market. Two way player and that's what we need...
