Now that Josh Smith has left us for the Clippers, who are we going after? Will KJ take up the entire MLE? Here are some free agents that are still out there: Carlos Boozer Norris Cole Chuck Hayes Tyler Hansbrough JR Smith
I would rather like Morey to spend the money on KJ, Harrell and even Alan Williams combined than any of the above mentioned.

What a joke. Knowing Morey it'll be Hansbrough for the MLE. Then he'll trade Ariza for Ty Lawson and start Sam Dekker at SF. SF: Sam Dekker PF: Tyler Hansbrough PG: Ty Lawson That would be very Morey-ish.
They're not talking full MLE I hope. McDaniels better make a huge impact this season after all of this.
Second round contract is not guaranteed, so I don't believe he has any cap hold. Kind of like Nick last year.
Bev/????????? Harden/Brewer Ariza/Thornton DMo/jones/Dekker/Harrell Dwight/Dorsey Morey has absolutely no clue what hes doing. You want use MLE on a guy we dont need. We are screwed next season
I like bringing kj back. He's a really good athlete, plays aggressively, can defend and he's not a total waste on offense. I figure we'll be playing a lot of small ball this season.
