Watching Mario Chalmers, I might take Chauncey. As long as he doesn't have up 3s and get burned on defense, especially getting burned in defense. Our defense is hard to play, old vets can't hack it

No interest in Billups. We have two needs and he fills neither.

We need a starting center and a young 3&D wing player. Give me one of Kaman/Oden/Dalembert and then an athlete 2/3 to develop behind Allen and Battier for a year.

Billups IQ is great...but his body is not having it.

Not worth it with this team. Need youth/ size.

We need a high iq point guard badly, not particularly Chauncey but we need one. The one I actually want is Jose Calderón

Yeah...an actual PG with IQ/court vision.

Rio/Cole can knock down big shots no question...but could you imagine that? A skilled PG with actual court vision? Yikes for the rest of the league.

Size is still probably the most important choice of the two though...

I hope we pursue Calderón but yea we need size more than anything and a defensive wing. I'd take a defensive wing out the dleague if we have to.....

That kid Rodney Carney we had in camp, I liked him. He has the size and athleticism to be good defensively

We likely resign Birdman (still getting Denver $) & go after Oden for vet min. So we can throw the mini MLE at Calderon - aka Mr 50/40/90 ... pity he can't defend :(

I don't like Calderon's fit on this team. He loves pounding the ball and his defense is god awful. I'd much rather get a guy like Dalembert for the mmle. We could probably grab a passable offguard from the undrafted pool or with the vet min.

I've never wanted to punch someone in the face so badly. Really hoping to run into him at a game one day. I won't hesitate.

Yeaa..if you get crossed by Chalmers your defense is definitely awful
