Getting Ben Wallace will be a dream. Does he make the max?

 

Imagine if we pulled a coup and got Mike James back...

 

We don't need Mike James. From the way he was b****ing from a previously posted article, he sounds more like a cancer.

 

rocks need to try and lock up chuck hayes on a 3yr rookie level contract.

 

i think he can. that'll be nearly 18 million/year. the only problem would be a 5 year contract will have him at 37 in his last year.

that said i think detroit should let him walk.

 

a nice acquisition to this team would be flip murray

 

i wouldnt mind james posy back..........good fast break player and leads the league in 3 pt % i think......

 

EDIT: Well, forget this post I guess lol.

 

rocks offered him the same money as memphis and he still chose to leave.

 

They're all going to get more than what the Rocks can offer.

Trevor Ariza, Tony Delk, Jacque Vaughn, Melvin Ely, Jiri Welsch would be interesting pick ups.

 

Van Gundy will try to pry Harpring out of Jerry's cold, hard fingers.

 

I think I'd go for Nazr Mohammed because he can step in and play both PF and C. Posey would be nice as well, but it depends on how we end up in the draft. The draft is weak but has some nice role player types.

 

I don't think this is true. IIRC, we could't offer him the same because of salary cap restrictions.

 

Joel Pryzbilla would come in handy once Deke retires. We need a good backup center.

 

pryzbilla will go for more than the MLE. for some reason, big mean always are overpaid. hell, if jerome james can get a 5 year max MLE deal for 11 minutes of good play, pryzbilla can at the very least get the same thing from portland.

 

I was under the impression that we were freeing up roughly 18 million in cap space next season (assuming we don't choose to pick up Moochie's option).

Wells shouldn't expect more than about 8, Posey about 6, and Radmanovic about 6 as well. Seems to me that we could get 2 of those 3 if I'm not mistaken on our cap situation. It would just depend on how much we'll need to sign our top draft pick as well as Spanoulis (if he comes over as expected).

 

Yeah, I would like Pryzbilla too, but Portland isn't going to let him go now that he's coming around. Theo Ratliff isn't getting any younger, or better.

 

Rocks will only have the MLE to spend, unless it's sign and trade. We have nothing - er- very limited assets to trade.

We can only hope for Harpring on that list, and that's unlikely. He's also old and injury prone. Perfect.

Go on to the rest of list "the best of the rest" there's a few guys in there we might afford - guys like - Kelvin Cato
