I would take him right now. As PF/C. For part of a 4.2 million TE. IMO he still has something left in the tank.
That's pretty much spot-on.. however, I'd take Prince over Hamilton (even though Rip is probably a better fit for our current team). Younger, more upside, smaller contract Then why not all five? Big Ben and Prince as back-ups for Yao and T-Mac. The other three start. ****, I just started drooling. What was the point of this exercise again?
Since this is HYPOTHETICAL, who cares about salary???!!! Rasheed for sure. The guy is EXACTLY what we need. He is perfect. Imagine this lineup: C Yao PF Sheed SF Battier SG Tracy PG Alston/Snyder The shortest player is 6'6 if Snyder starts with Tracy in the backcourt. Tracy will handle the ball up the court with Snyder. On defense, it'll almost be like the dream team. That is how we'll win games, with impenetrable defense Billups is great, but he doesn't address our PF hole. We have like 2-3 point guards. We'd rather take a sweet shooting starting PF who plays great D than a stud starting PG who will slide more players onto the bench.
