will there be another move or do you see ED stopping here?

P.S. Looking at all our players and the future draft picks, is there anyway we can aquire Ben Gordon from the Bulls??? What does the Bulls need right now?

Being that Gordon wants 6 years and $72 million and would be a base year compensation player if he signed to such a deal, no, I don't see us getting him.

I am not sure if it would be wise to make any more moves before seeing how this team gels together - at least in the pre-season. After that, who knows.

The roster looks full enough to me. I think Ed will want to keep open a roster spot to facilitate a multi-player trade, to pick up a player in case of injury, or to take a little salary from another team later in the season. The team as put together is going to be good.

I'm fine with going into the season with what he have.

We should first see how things go to start the season. At least give it a few months, before deciding whether or not additional moves need to be made. The team looks set for now, we'll just have to wait and see how it plays out...

I like the team as currently constructed. That being said, I would personally love to see Ed pick up Shaun Livingston. Don't see it happening, though.

A number of teams have looked at him. No one has signed him. For all we know, his career might be over. He damaged his knee worse than Jay Williams did, albeit without all the other injuries. Tore three ligaments, cartilage and a severe dislocation for a guy who was fragile and injury prone to begin with. Probably not a good sign.

We have 14 on the roster right now so whoever we sign will probably be used for practices and dressing in a suit for games. If we're going to do that. I would like to see us sign a young guy (maybe an undrafted free agent).

I would love to see a Willie Green + type of deal for Delonte West.

But I'm more than satisfied going in with todays roster.

Damon Stoudamire. We need a 3pt shooting pure point guard

I'd at least look into it. Worst case scenario he is useless and can be cut.

Damon Stoudamire...Was never, nor will he ever be a "Pure Point Guard". Jason Kidd's a Pure PG. Magic Johnson. Well it can be debated but he was a PG during that era. Oscar Robinson was Kidd before Kidd.

But I do agree with the signing. I'd like to see Mo's take on Damon but Damon would give us a 3rd PG. Which will be helpful. If Damon can still hit 3's. He and Lou williams provide an explosive back court albeit small.

I actually expect Royal Ivey to be like Aaron Mckie. He's tall(6'4), good defender and he can shoot the 3 above average. He can be a tall defensive guard allowing (Lou) to guard the smaller point.

Just because Stoudamire isn't a hall of fame caliber PG like Kidd, Johnson, and Robinson doesn't mean he wasn't a pure PG. The guy managed to average over 13 and 6 for 12+ seasons in the league. He's obviously a shadow of his former self, but your argument for him not being a true point guard is pretty weak seeing as all you do is compare him to 3 of the best players to ever play the position. Quite a few PG's are inferior to those 3, doesn't mean they can't play the position.

Ivey is not an above average 3 pt shooter as he knocks them down at about 33%. He hit 35 3's last year.... but has only 47 makes from downtown in his 4 years in the league. Since when is that above average? Since when is that average?
