OK - this was as far as I was going to take the voting. I just wanted to have a winner of each bracket. If people want me to continue the matchups and have the bracket winners face each other, then let me know and I guess I will do it.
In this round I have included the losers from last round (3rd place matchup). Basically, this will give us the top 3 targets in each category. Once again, bold your picks.

Why is Marion who isn't a PF in there and Jamison isn't?

Didn't Jamison get voted out??? I think he did.

First off, prior to the trade to Miami Marion played PF for the Suns for years...and played it pretty damn well I must say. Is he more a SF? Maybe in some systems, but we play an up-tempo style and Marion is an ideal PF option in that style system. He's an above average defender for PF too. You could argue what position is best for so many player. I could argue Josh Smith is better as a SF. You could argue Okafor is better as a C. Could argue Kirilenko is a SF, same with Odom and Harrington. It just comes down to how they fit in with what else is here.
As far as Jamison, he was in the pool and people voted him out for Okafor a couple round ago. He would still be alive if I had my choice.

Odom is a name we haven't juggled around all that much.... Kupchak is now 'unsure' about extending Odom's contract (wiretap).... If LA underachieves in the post season this year Odom is a guy that could be had.

Odom is the Same age as Brand, but also has recurring injury and herbal issues.
In his prime he would be a good fit with his athletasism, but not really a post scorer. Along with Prince, Odem is a guy who Thad patterns his game after.
Odem (like Josh Smith or Marion) would at least give us a really versatile lineup that could switch and trap at almost every position. Unfortunately our upside would be limited without a great post scorer (other than the unstoppable Andre Miller.)

Next round??
By the way, while this list started out with a whole bunch of names... I think it's really down to just a handful of legit possibilities with those players being: Emeka Okafor, Josh Smith, Lamar Odom, Zach Randolph, Tyrus Thomas, and Charlie Villanueva.
