Who do you think we have a shot to bring in sign or trade? Wishes.. Is it a blessing in disguise we didn't sign second tier stars (iggy, Evans, milsap, j smooth when that seems to happen). Do we offer one year deals to fill the roster and make a run at a couple big fish to play with our young core of talented guys?

Now that the dust is settling I really hope we make a run at Smith. If we sign him try a nab Gay and Rondo.

I think it was an obvious blessing we missed out on Iggy and Smith (I will not call a grown man "smoove"). While they were the two best FA's in Detroit's striking distance, neither of them were an ideal fit for this team.

Joe should offer Teague enough to force him out of Atlanta, and just go crazy and offer Billups a 1-year deal for 9 million or something to hit the cap floor. Wait until a trade opportunity arises that gets the team that kind of small forward they need/want, or a significant upgrade.

Has Smith gone somewhere?

It looks like Houston is working a S&T with ATL for him.

best scenario would have been what Utah just did.

Just read hoopshype and they have them trying to get Anderson from NO.

After the millsap signing I dont think they are going to trade smith to the rockets.

Above that has Anderson sending out a tweet that almost sounds like he's gone saying what ever happens its in Gods hands.

Link above sucks just click the rumor portion.

GS needs a big, we need a wing.. Why not trade Monroe/Stuckey for Barnes/Bogut, and then sign JSmith to start at the 4, and Billups to mentor BK.

C: Drummond / Bogut / Krastov
PF: JSmith / CV / Mithcell
SF: Barnes / Middleton / Mitchell
SG: KCP / Singler / BKnight
PG: BKnight / Billups / Siva

Only way im ever giving moose up is for an elite pg or an elite sf.

what about kirilenko. not a bad player, and he's not going back to minny. might be the best chance at a quality SF we can get.

I'd do moose and Stuck for Barns and Thompson. I don't think GS would though.

To old. Will want to go to a contender.

The first guy I thought of was Aminu... then I drew a blank

Good post, patience is the key. Its extremely difficult but I have faith in Joe.

I'd do that in a heart beat, but GSW probably tells us to meet them on the ninth hole at 9 o'clock.

Yea a line up of Kinght Thompson Barnes Smith Drummond is pretty nice, to bad it's unrealistic.
