which would you choose?
Player Team Age
Mo Williams POR 31 YES
Greivis Vasquez TOR 27 YES
Beno Udrih MEM 31 NO garbage
Isaiah Thomas SAC 25 YES YES YES
Rodney Stuckey DET 28 NO garbage. he's a 2-guard anyway
Ramon Sessions MIL 28 YES
Nate Robinson DEN 30 NO tore his ACL, won't be a FA anyway
Brian Roberts NOP 28 NO meh, sure I guess, but we can do better
Patty Mills SAN 25 YES
Eric Maynor PHL 27 NO garbage
Kyle Lowry TOR 28 OF COURSE
Shaun LivingstonBRK 28 YES
Kirk Hinrich CHI 33 NO old and washed up
Devin Harris DAL 31 NO old and washed up
Darren Collison LAC 26 YES
Mario Chalmers MIA 28 NO get the feeling he's likely to be overpaid
Aaron Brooks DEN 29 NO he's been garbage
Eric Bledsoe PHX 24 NO not worth the money. phx would match any offer and if they didn't, it would be a warning sign about his health
Jerryd Bayless BOS 25 YES
D.J. Augustin CHI 26 YES
Some will be after starting positions or are very unlikely like Bledsoe, Lowry and Isiah.
There are a few intriguing names like Livingston (I think will stay in Brooklyn) and Vasquez.
Mo Williams would be handy, but I can see him staying at Portland.
I can't see She J returning here. Nate would play to much like Neal for my liking, we don't need another chucker.
Collison and Brooks?
I've always wanted Hinrich, but he's getting a little old now. He is playing well at the moment, but was looking his age at the start at the season. Again I can see him staying at his current team.
It seems likely that Sess might return.
Biz Gilwalker wrote:Another interesting name to throw out there is Calderon. Dallas is absolutely loaded with guards and would probably let him go almost for free. He's a little expensive for a backup and kind of old, but he provides the veteran passing ability and is an absolutely terrific shooter. Clifford's system can mask his defensive woes to an extent. He's a starting caliber player, easily better than Sessions, but we could use him if we strike out on other FAs.

drafting a PG with the Portland pick would still require us to sign a backup. If we want to keep making the playoffs we can't rely upon a late 1st round pick as our backup.
Unless we get really lucky.
JDR720 wrote:our FA shopping list should include
1-Backup PG (even if we draft one with POR or 2nd round pick)
2-A starting shooting guard (move Geraldo to 6th man)
3-A starting PF (depending on if we think Zeller can start) if he can start find a backup (defensive backup)
4-A few shooters
5-Possibly a starting SF (can address with DET pick if we get it)

If the Pistons keep their pick it will be interesting to see if Cho targets a shooting guard in free agency to make up for missing Gary Harris from the roster they planned. Harris probably would have replaced CDR and taken over after Henderson in a couple years.
I want a bomb dropped on the Hendo-MKG Siamese twin - have to split them.
