Chris WIlcox - 6'10" rebounds, blocks, and wont cost too much. Hes a UFA. We could get him with the MLE or LLE. If it exists. We need another 6-10 guy badly, and he's cheap and he can rebound.

Tayshaun Prince - Defends, can shoot the open shot and will be an UFA. He's coming off of a 11 mil per. He couldn't possibly expect that kind of money again. MLE I'm thinking.

HIlton Armstrong- He's 6-11, from UCONN, He must be capable of something.

Etan Thomas

Big Baby Glen Davis - we could overpay for him, I don't suggest it, but we could.

JOel Pryzbilla - Hes realy big.

Kwame Brown - He just looked like WIlt CHamberlain against us.

Anthony Parker- SG, he can shoot well, and play defense. He's a solid player.

Tyson CHandler - He's gonna cost alot, abd CUban probably wont let him get away, but you neve know. He'd be perfect.

Yao Ming- Hey, you never know.

Josh McROberts - He's 6-10 and ayoung, I don't know much about him.

TJ ford - We still need a pg and he's pretty good.

Samuel Dalembert

Josh Howard- Good 2 way player. COuld start at SG for us.

We could Concievably have Josh Howard, TJ Ford, and lets say Kwame Brown and Etan Thomas.

Thats 4 players we'd be paying less than 12 mill for all together. we could trim the fat off our roster so all of our free agents could go, except for Shawne Williams and maybe Roger Mason.

The point is, we have options to add some rebounding and defense to our roster, and thats not including Restricted guys like Deandre Jordan, or our draft pick. We should have a better structured team next year, the only question is do we resign CHauncey to use as a chip for the Deron, CP3, Howard sweepstakes.

ALL OF THEM ARE UNRESTRICTED FREE AGENTS
and theyd all be impact players for us.

We won't have enough to trade for CP3 and we all have to realize that NJ ain't doing business with us, unless Dolan decides to trade Melo and Amare for him.

Of your list I'd like to see TJ Ford, Etan Thomas and most of all Dalembert. I would've choose McRoberts or Wilcox, but both play soft at times and I think Etan would bring some much needed toughness and hopefully it would influence or really shed light (not sure how it could get worse) the rest of the team playing D like little bitches.

I would like to see Reggie Evans and Dalembert wearing Knick uniforms next yr. I believe he is a free agent after this year, would probably be somewhat cheap and would become a bounding machine and immediate fan favorite.

I'd enjoy a frontline of Amare, Dalembert, Evans, Turiaf and Brown. Anything to have JJ shown the door bc he shouldn't be in the NBA.

We're really gonna need to get someone in here who cares about putting a hand up on defense asap.

The main issue is the owner, not the coach

We have a huger hole if Donnie walks

Chris Wilcox - only as a backup, hasn't he been here before?

Tayshaun Prince - no, we have enough tweeners with jumpers, need guys who can dive inside

HIlton Armstrong- He's 6-11 and rides the pine for the hawks who have absolutely nothing at center. you do the math

Etan Thomas - see Hilton Armstrong at three inches shorter

Big Baby Glen Davis - no to any Celtics

Joel Pryzbilla - no. too old.

Kwame Brown - a thousand times no

Anthony Parker- who?

Tyson Chandler - has found a home in Dallas and Mark Cuban ain't no fool

Yao Ming- c'mon son, get real.

Josh McRoberts - best find on the list. Maybe. But not as a starter. Backup.

TJ ford - hell no. I miss Ray Felton.

Samuel Dalembert - no

Josh Howard - no thank you

Hawks have Al Horford, one of the best centers in the game, and an all star, I have no idea what you are talking about.

No idea?

An explanation: Horford only plays center for Atlanta because their roster is composed of so many forwards. No doubt he is talented but even Horford admits he prefers to play forward.

Even his DAD Tito agrees. "I’ve been begging [general manager] Rick Sund and the Hawks for the last three years – please get a center so my son can pay his normal position," the elder Horford said Tuesday from his home in the Dominican Republic. "He can’t push guys out of the box like I could. If he moved to forward, he would have a longer career."

"Of course it is worth noting that Horford more than holds his own at the center position on most nights. There are those few exceptions when the Hawks match up against Dwight Howard or Andrew Bogut that anyone really has that much of a size advantage over Horford. During Larry Drew's tenure he has elected to start a bigger lineup against centers like Howard by inserting Collins into the starting lineup at center. But it is Tito's thinking that suggests that Al would be so much more effective as a power forward. Larry Drew offered his opinion to Schultz."

How good would he be as a power forward?

"He’d be a beast," coach Larry Drew said.

One major problem is with the way the Hawks are constructed. The two prevailing theories are a) the Hawks need a big man to free up Al Horford to play the power forward position, or b) the Hawks need a defensive minded point guard to help shore up perimeter defense. Both areas need to be shored up but it is a long shot that the Hawks have the means to fix them both at this point.

Any questions?

One major problem is with the way the (Knicks) are constructed. The two prevailing theories are a) the Knicks need a big man to free up Amare Stoudemire to play the power forward position, or b) the Knicks need a defensive minded point guard to help shore up perimeter defense. (No, Toney Douglas is still a work in progress) Both areas need to be shored up but it is a long shot that the Knicks have the means to fix them both at this point.
