I didn't think Jermaine O'Neal was going to be out next year. I always assumed his contract was a trillion dollars for infinite years. Felt like it anyways.

How much would you guys hate me if I started a thread called: Jermaine O'Neal?!?!?!?

Unrestricted: Jermaine O'Neal (ETO)
ETO = Early Termination Option

OK, only looking at players that are unrestricted here are some of the ones I wouldn't be unhappy with us signing, though the list is pretty slim.

Carlos Arroyo
DeSagana Diop
Chris Duhon
Bostjan Nachbar
Patrick O'Bryant
Mickael Pietrus
Brian Skinner
Kurt Thomas

Thats pretty much how I feel. Pietrius really intrigues me, especially if Posey deciedes to opt out of his contract.

Q. Ross is also an unrestricted. Ricky Davis as well.

Posey can opt out, and ask for a multi-year extension with 8% raises starting with this year's salary, or a bigger part of the MLE.

I think he'd be satisfied if Danny guaranteed him that if exercises his option for $3.46 million, that he will get, 4 more years on top of that in 2009, with 8 % raises each year.

Even if Posey stays I wouldnt mind still signing Pietrius. He is just as good if not better than TA.

Would like to see the team bring in Duhon and Diop. If they can bring back Posey as well, I think the bench would be much better. Quinton Ross is another player that I would like, but TA would have to be gone for that one to work.

I would like to see gomes back here.

Duhon and Diop would be great. I just love Pietrius' defense. He can also drain the three ball.

I like the idea of Diop as a backup at Center. If we can't land him I think Patrick O'Bryant would be interesting. He has a huge wingspan and I believe had a 9'4" standing reach. He was never going to fit in with what Don Nelson was doing with Golden State. He can't be any worse than having Pollard on the bench. The guy is a better shot blocker with much better mobility at 7 foot, not to mention having a better offensive game than Diop.

Isn't Gomes a restricted free agent? I'd always thought Danny liked to sign players using the MLE for that reason.

BakersDozen · Post #19 » by **BakersDozen** » Wed Feb 27, 2008 2:06 pm

I like Duhon but I think he could get more money from another team. I wanted Skinner last offseason and if Danny can't land Kurt Thomas this offseason I'd be happy to get Skinner as a backup plan.

Duhon would be perfect. He is a proven back up point guard. He is used to being a back up and knows his job is to set up others.

Diop could be interesting. If our big man coaches can spend an off season with him he could be a heck of a player next fall. Diop and Baby coming off the bench would be a lot of beef.
