Kwame Brown knows the heat are looking at him and the bucks also we need to throw our hat into the ring

I hope we are staying in contact with them. I hope they are willing to wait about 2-3 months. It is going to take the Hawks forever to get the Joshs situations taken care of.

A healthy Livingston would be awesome. I have my doubts that he'll ever be healthy again.

Livingston will probably ask for more than what he is worth to ask us to wait for him to recover. He could be a diamond in the rough, but it is a risk. You still have to get him away from the rest of the league. And don't we have a damaged PG alread? :)

Kwame eyes are probably bulging at the Bogut signing as well. It didn't sound like Milwaukee was overwhelmed with him, and is $5M the asking price for a 5 pt/5 reb player?

Our problem is that we may not be able to sign another noteworthy player, after signing the Josh's, without going into the luxary tax. We may end up with a little money left, which would allow us to maybe to get a role player big man to share minutes with Zaza, rather than having the money to get someone to replace him. I'd look for someone cheap who can play decent D. Maybe a veteran in his golden years to a one year deal until Bibby's contract comes off the books next year.

^^Although I was talking about possible free agent signings above, Steven Hunter fits the mold for the type of player I was talking about . . . actually, we should maybe consider trading for him. I may post a brief thread about that.

We still have the MLE to spend before we have to worry about the luxury tax.

quinton ross
antoine wright
fred jones
juan dixon
tony allen

theo ratliff
adonal foyle
walter hermann

I like Tony Allen a lot. A good defender with some serious hops. I believe Wright is resigning with Dallas.
