Question about 2008 FA
Do you think that since Free Agency 2008 is going to be full of so many big names, and not many teams under the cap, that the entire MLE would get us JR Smith? Would he cost less then the entire MLE? He is averaging 10ppg (40% from 3) 2rpg 2apg 1 stl 2to in 20 mpg.
I think that he would fit really well here. He has good size, 3 shot, and athleticism for SG. He could play good D if properly motivated. Dwight could keep him straight especially after having a signed contract and they are buddies from McDonalds All American.
Jameer/Arroyo, Dooling or Draft Pick
JR Smith/Bogans/JJ
Rashard/Hedo
Battie/Draft Pick/Cook/Fran/Gortat
Dwight/Foyle
JR Smith > Bogans I think.
In Draft 2008 select a defending brusier/rebounder PF, a good shooting PF or tall defensive PG that drops . I really wish that the magic would buy a late first or early second rounder and draft Goran Dragic from 6-4 180 PG from Slovenia.
Could we then also resign one of Dooling or Arroyo?

JR Smith is nothing but problems, and at this juncture Kieth Bogans averages 10.2 and 4 rebounds. Don't see the point of signing a guy who does the exact same thing as Keith, and isn't as much a pro or as stout a defender. I'll say we need to look at a pg or pf instead.
You look confused...let me fill you in.

Keith does it in 32 mpg. Bogans is only under contract for one more year. After Bogans, JJ is our only SG. JR Smith is also younger that Bogans and has a lot more upside due to his age and athleticism.
I'd be willing to take a chance that he wont be a head case and buy-in to winning. If not, then trade him away.

Well Maggette is unrestricted and there are only one or two teams that will actually have more than the midlevel to spend so if he wants out of LA he will have to take a midlevel deal.
Then theres Childress, Calderon, Ellis, and Diop who are restricted. All of these guys will have to settle for the midlevel, it just depends if it will be with their current teams.
Word is Childress is expendable with all of atlantas wing talent.
Ellis may not want to stay behind Davis.
Diop can be had.
And my favorite Calderon should be available with all the money being spent on TJ ford.
Heres an article with more info
