Some more free agents:
Eduardo Najera-Tough hustle player that will do all the little things needed and he could be had for the right price

Jarvis Hayes-good shooter knows something about the Priceton offense
I got the burner-Kevin Durant

Cream rises to the top-Nic Claxton

Boo.

Please, no free agents.

Honestly, in today's NBA, the only point in signing a free agent is to add a complimentary piece or two to an already elite-level roster.

See: Grant Hill, Suns / Michael Finley, Spurs / Derek Fisher, Lakers / James Posey - Sam Cassell - P.J. Brown, Celtics.

Not much of a point in signing a complimentary player for a team that by all accounts SHOULD be in a rebuilding mode.

However, I'm sure Thorn, in his infinite wisdom, will throw some money at a guy like Najera or Giricek.

Well if you have significant holes on several positions ( like we have ) you need some free Agents you can't fill everything with rookies . It doesn't have to be veterans there are also young guys that seek another chance.


Example : I want a veteran at the big postion who is willing to be somekind of mentor for our young bigs . He doesn't need to have much left and does not mind not getting much minutes . That'd be perfect .

Yeah, I guess that makes sense. I just feel as if we've made some awful free agent choices in the past... see: Rodney Rogers, Jamal Magloire, Chris Childs.

The last solid free-agent pickup we had was Eric Williams!
