next summer? he'd be a perfect fit on this team. not sure how much $ Ratliff worth next summer; MLE for Ratliff next summer? or maybe Juwan Howard+? for a S&T Ratliff? SAR's on the way out, they might want a serviceable PF for insurance especially when Randolph also becomes FA next year. Yao Ming, ? T. Ratliff, Taylor Jackson, Nachbar McGrady, Sura C. Ward, ? Donyell Marshall would be #2 on my wish list.
we can't afford him, he'd be underutilized playing back-up to Yao, and isn't a true power forward and will be an offensive liability like Cato was.
I would like to get Theo Ratliff. If we can afford a garbage player like Witherspoon at $ 5.42 mil per season-could we dump his dead butt and get Theo??
