You mean Travis Outlaw?

He's a SF, not a banger by any stretch.

because you know how much he bangs...and how young he is...

in answer to the question I think Noicioni would be perfect for the team, he's not really a banger but he plays really tough ball

Is Bo Outlaw still playin? w/e he's done and not really a banger, more of a hustle guy, miami won't give up haslem tho is a banger, is still an undersize 4 who won't be able to guard centres

Some bangers that might fit the team. Some I think fit great with our team, some others I just don't like.

Udonis Haslem
Jeff Foster
Desagna Diop
Jason Maxiell
Reggie Evans
Brian Skinner
Jamaal Magloire
Dan Gadzuric
Chuck Hayes
Drew Gooden
Nick Collison
David Lee
Joel Pryzbilla
Kurt Thomas

I think realisticly we can probably get someone like Kurt Thomas for pretty cheap. Since he's a veteran on a rebuilding team.

If it were me though. I would try to target Nick Collison...Seattle has a lot of bigs, so they might be willing to give him up for the right piece.

I like thomas and collison. Also Lee -- New York's likely to make moves. Same with Chicago.

colangelo sounded like he wants to add a piece for this year's playoffs. by the way, he's already said he's looking for a point guard. we could be very active over the next few weeks.

Yes, but Seattle needs him badly. They would only give him up if they don't care at all whether they win games this year. Realistically, what would we be willing to give up to get him considering the size of his contract and the fact that he's an older player who doesn't have too many years left in him?

If we could somehow get him on the cheap, he would be a great fit. If they value Hump and Graham/Dixon as youngish guys who could get better, fine. But that probably wouldn't be enough. Or we could send them Rasho and a pick, maybe. That's a steep price to pay to make our team only a little better over the short term.

I love Thomas' game and I think he would be a great fit since he plays off of the pick and roll so well. He's a very intelligent player, he sees the floor well and gets to all the right spots. Anyways, Colangelo knows the players around the league, he doesn't need our advice.

Pierrot says "Colangelo knows the players around the league, he doesn't need our advice."

On top of that, Thomas can actually hit the 15ft jumper. I think one of the main requirements for any BC team is the player has to be able to score in order to not disrupt the ball movement.

An Antonio Davis in his prime would look good about now.

We've got a banger at PF, his name is Kris Humphries.

What we need is a guy that provides many of those things in a Center's body along with some shotblocking. Diop brings much of that to the Mavs. But whoever we add moves Bargs and all his weaknesses in this regard further down the bench.

Kordic27 · Post #20 » by **Kordic27** » Thu Jan 17, 2008 5:07 am

Yeah... Kurt Thomas or Reggie Evans would be cool. I'd even take Ben Wallace's horrible contract if we could get Ty Thomas or some decent young'un out of it.
