I think the mle is going to be used to sign Taylor and or budinger to multi year contracts ala joey dorsey. Obviously the wont use all of it but a portion of it. If we can get Von on a chuckwagon type of contract id go for that. Sign Oberto with whats left.

PG: Brooks, Lowry
SG: Battier, Wafer, Taylor
C: Hayes, Oberto, Dorsey
SF: Ariza, White
PF: Scola, Landry

IR: Cook, Yao, McGrady

Thats 15.

morey hasn't even contacted wafer according to his agent.
maybe that playoff dustup with adelman was taken seriously
Harden is still a work-in-progress. He can score, but he can't help his teammate that much - Yao Ming

Maybe an international player? Does Loannis Bourousis count as "obvious"?


Ioannis Bourousis signed a huge contract in Europe already.


Then he doesn't count as obvious, then...now does he?

(Thanks for the info.)

The Bourousis deal is 3yr at about $6.7 million U.S. Not a huge deal at all. I wonder if he has a buyout clause for the NBA?

I think now we are in place to sign the mystery FA that Morey was referring to and his name is Jerry Stackhouse.

Yeah I'm not even going to waste time trying to guess what Morey's gonna do, I'll just patiently wait.

I think David lee gives alot of effort and is an above average rebounder at his size, but hes overrated. Definitely not worth $10 million hes asking for. For that money i'd rather get artest or Odom. I prefer Scola, landry and even Hayes defense over him.

And I think we're after a center not a forward.
