4. The ASG are in talk with someone right now who is the same type of player Chill is and he should be signed in the next couple of day.

What scrub will it be?

It will either be a minimum player like Juan Dixon or we will overpay a washed up vet like Devin George,Eddie Jones,or Micheal Finley and pretend he's going to contribute like we did with Lo.

I'd go after Lou Williams and J.R. Smith if I was the Hawks.

I just hope it's not Shaun Livingston, he's got a different type of game, but similar built to chillz & with him coming off that injury, he will probably be more of a 2/3.

I don't think that source is credible...

They are obviously trying to minimize the blow to their image after losing Chillz. So it has to be somebody half way decent. I think it is Ryan Gomes, which at this point I would be very happy with.

Jarvis Hayes? Oh wait, he signed already for 2 million!

Don't forget about Robert Horry. :roll:

Seriously though, I hope we don't pursue Eddie Jones or Devin George.

JR Smith, Louis Williams and Kwame Brown would be nice additions.

Are there any free agents out there with a fro?

Brian Skinner has one on his chin.

Sean Marks has a semi Jew-fro.

Richardson is on the top of my list, but here is some others

James White
Ira Newble
Gerald Green
DerMarr Johnson
Darius Miles
Bonzi Wells
Kirk Snyder
Luke Jackson
Shuan Livingston
Ricky Davis

How about Devin Brown, Gordan Giricek, Bonzi Wells or Ricky Davis? The last 2 are trouble makers but I think the first 2 are good guys and can contribute.

I like the idea of bringing in Snyder as he's versatile enough to play the 3 spot.

Quinton Ross of the Clippers is another guy we could get. He isn't restricted and the Clips had to renounce his rights in order to bring in Camby. Therefore, they don't have his bird rights.

Go after Sasha from the Lakers before he thinks about heading overseas. He probably won't play here but worth going after him.

I think Snyder would be a good replacement. IMO, he is very underrated.

I sign one of Sasha Vujacic, JR Smith, Kareem Rush, Bonzi Wells, Devin Brown, or Gordan Giricek.

One of them, along with Richardson, West, and Jackson should be able to pick up the slack from Childress leaving pretty easily.

Didn't Giricek look pretty bad in Philly and Phoenix last year?

I really like Sasha, but only if we can get a C for the LLE, which is questionable. If it requires splitting the MLE up I still like Snider or Rush and getting a defensive backup C over making a run at an RFA for full MLE.

Giricek played badly in Philly, but played decently in Pheonix.
