Hey, sorry if this is posted somewhere else but I couldnt find it anywahere....

Can someone show me a list of the available free agents for this offseason and I would also like to know who you guys would like to see us sign because dont we have alot of cap space this offseason?

free agents that I care about and want the Sixers to acquire list

Restricted: Josh Childress, Ronny Turiaf
Unrestricted: Roger Mason Jr.

theres a list on the general forum under like salary cap sticky or something like that.

i'm interested in brand, calderon, emeka, biendrins

Here's one list that I'm aware of...

The 20 guys I would be interested in (no particular order)...

1. Josh Childress - RFA - to be used for 30+ MPG in a rotation w/ Andre and Thad at SG/SF.
2. Josh Smith - RFA - I like him more as a SF, but possible starter at PF
3. Delonte West - RFA - mainly if Lou isn't retained
4. Biedrins - RFA - only if Sam is sent packing - he and Sam won't work together.
5. Baron Davis - ETO - if he opts-out and we trade Miller.
6. Patrick O'Bryant - UFA - take a shot if he's real cheap
7. Michael Pietrus - UFA - backup SG/SF if he's cheap (much better than Carney IMO)
8. Elton Brand - ETO - my clear #1 choice if he opts-out.
9. Juan Carlos Navarro - RFA - combo guard option if Lou leaves.
10. Shawn Marion - ETO - a PF option if he opts-out (he's proven he can play the 4 despite his size)
11. Nenad Krstic - RFA - big offensive upgrade at PF vs. what we have now
12. Beno Udrih - UFA - only if Miller was traded
13. Jose Calderon - RFA - only if Miller was traded
14. Antwan Jamison - UFA - huge upgrade at PF, but might cose too much.
15. Monta Ellis - RFA - a top 3 FA for me
16. Ben Gordon - RFA - not real high on him, but he is a shooter
17. Luol Deng - RFA - only if Iguodala or Thad were traded
18. Emeka Okafor - RFA - not high on him as a PF, but if Sam was traded, I'd look at him for C.
19. Robert Swift - RFA - if healthy and cheap, a backup C option
20. Gilbert Arenas - ETO - if he opts out and Miller is traded.

Sixer Fixer's list is pretty thorough, but there's one guy not on it who I'd like to get.
My brother in law lives with us while he's going to college and he's a huge Lakers fan. As a result I have been forced to endure far more Lakers games than I should have over the last three years.

I have been impressed by Sasha Vujacic this year. He's really put it together this season and in the playoffs. He's a restricted FA, so the Lakers could match, but they have to be concerned about their cap evetually. He's young at 24, 6'7", fairly athletic and is a vastly improved defender. He also hit 3s at a 40% clip this year. I think he could play a little at 3 positions for us and would instantly be our best shooter. I actually like him better than Childress for us. I think he's a better 3 point shooter and defender, plus I think he'd be a little cheaper.

BTW, I'm not suggesting he should be our top target in FA. My dream scenario would be to sign the PF we desparately need, then use some of our MLE once we've reached the cap to sign Vujacic.

It's sad, we finally have cap space and I'm not excited about the FA class...

There are no RFA that I'm willing to break the bank for (Smith and Okafor included). The only RFA that may come reasonably priced is Ronny Turiaf. He's young, got a PF body, and still has upside.

As UFA go, I'd focus on Jamison. I'd love to see him in a Sixers Uniform. There aren't many teams with $$$ so we have some leverage. I'd offer him big $$$ and short years. I'd love to sign him to a 3 year deal. Given the lack of teams with $$$, he may be willing to bite.

^^^^ Agreed. I am a big jamison fan
