I really like Sullinger though. Pending we trade Bargs for a C. Sullinger's game is smooth crafty like David West.

It's a small point, but we're 4th now.

yeah and with the talks of the Nets not really being out of the Melo sweepstakes i think we could stay 4th

Saturday's game is really important

Same here, ideally if we don't have Bargs, Sullinger would be my pick over anyone except Irving.

Yeah, i was thinking that one of the Euro bigs might be nice but with BC bringing in a true 5 in Alexis I'm content with our stable of 4/5s. i think you probably trade down with a team that really wants one of the bigs.

or Barnes if he makes strides.

Even if Barnes makes stride I have a feeling he's gonna stay an extra year to work on his game. It feels like his confidence has taken a huge blow this year :-?

Yeah I bet him and Henson both stay and go top 5 next year

Irving
Perry
Terrence

all gone. Who do you pick

HB

same for me. Harrison Barnes is my pick. Dont like Kanter especially with all the C's available in FA

You have it the wrong way around. There are a ton of FA SFs. There are only a few FA Cs.

True only in the sense that he's tall. The rest of him screams scrub.

There are more available free agents this summer who play the small forward position.

There are less available free agents this summer who play the Center position.

Harrison Barnes is a Small Forward.

Enes Kanter is a Center.

You said you didnt like Kanter because there are many available free agent Centers. I suggested that you have it wrong because there are many more available Small Forwards in FA than there are Centers.

Is that clearer?

all the SFs are restricted FA's. Green,Young,Chandler all RFAs. Perkins,Dalembert,Chandler all UFAs with Oden/Gasol/Jordan being RFA's and Nene possibly opting out. Ill take a SF first because we have Ed at the 4 and then id look at a C via FA. Id rather have Barnes + Dalembert/Chandler/Perkins then Kanter and ?. Plus we dont have a ton of cap space (without dumping Barbosa/Calderon) so a MLE type deal for Dalembert/Chandler/Perkins is more realistic than putting everything into a SF (which may or not get matched)

Fredette is freakin' crazy. He's dominating the Aztecs.

Mr.Raptorsingh · Post #37 » by **Mr.Raptorsingh** » Thu Jan 27, 2011 3:53 am

This Leonard guy from San Diego St. is a pretty good SF prospect.

Tyson Chandler or Kendrick Perkins....on the MLE...to the Raptors? THATS realistic?

Kirilenko is an unrestricted FA for one.

The thing about him is, he can get his shot off anytime he wants. I'm wondering if he can do the same in the NBA. But, one things for sure, he is more than just a jumpshooter. He's also very capable off of the dribble, as I mentioned.
