Bring back Michael Curry (maybe Afflalo can turn into the next Curry).

Yeah, he probably isn't. I'm trying to think of who else is out there that could bring a similar element. I do like Quinton Ross, although he's probably a bit small for our needs as well. I think of him as more of a 2.

Ruben Patteson could be a nice fit, although I'm skeptical about his character.

Posey would actualy be a nice fit, but that obviously isn't an option.

But yeah, the 2 areas I'd really like to see us try and address before the deadline would be possibly a bigger defensive SF and an end of the bench, veteran enforce at C (ala Dale Davis).

But hell, just the fact our biggest concerns are our 9th, 10th or 11th man should tell you how good we're all feeling at the moment. Hard to complain these days, but I'm greedy. I always want more. :)

Here's another stat to help fuel the Rip fire...

Clutch Play: (4th quarter or overtime, less than 5 minutes left,
neither team ahead by more than 5 points)

Rip: eFG% of 57.3%
Billups eFG% of 33.3%
Dice eFG% of 33.3%
Prince eFG% 42.7%
Sheed eFG% 32.1%

There haven't been alot of close games, but Rip has shot much much better than anyone else when the games have been tight.
