Hey, I read an article about Patrick O'Bryant being an unrestricted free agent next year.

I think he could fit into your plans for the future without hurting your pockets too much.

He's 21, 7"0 w/ a 7"4 wingspan and still growing into his body. He was known as a decent shotblocker w/ a developing post game in Bradley.

He seems like a low risk high reward type of player.

He'd look great next to or backing up Big Al down low.

O'Bryant - Smith
Jefferson - Gomes
Beasley - Brewer
Foye - McCants
Telfair - Jaric

We've talked some about POB. I think there are some other young centers that we'd prefer, but I think we'd be interested as an inexpensive fallback option. Of course it depends on who we draft and who we re-sign as far as roster space.

I dont know why but I sense that O'Bryant for some reason or another is gonna get a overpriced contract, maybe even somewhere around $3 mill a season for three years from some team (hope not us) just for being big and young

that would probably be us(New York). Maybe something closer to $1.5-2M/year.

Actually, alot of teams could use a young center to develop. Off the top of my head would be Houston, Boston, San Antonio and maybe even Dallas.

He's from Minnesota right?

Yea, might as well preorder my O'Bryant jersey now.
